Salvation Through Christ’s Love

In the life-story of the Countess Schimmelmann we get the account of her own conversion. After weeks of conviction of sin, of darkness, and uncertainty, she seemed to hear God saying to her: “My child, thy salvation does not depend upon thy love to Me, but My love to thee, just as thou art.” “Then,” she adds, “broke upon my heart a sun of joy, in the beams of which I still rejoice, and whose life will shine upon me eternally. Now my cold heart began to burn, not on account of my love to Christ, but of His love to me.” This is the true pivot on which faith turns; the point of crisis where salvation becomes a conscious possession and delight.
