How do you know you are saved?
A black man, carrying a bag of potatoes on his back, was asked by a skeptic: “How do you know you are saved?”
The black man took a few steps & then dropped the bag.
Then he said: “How do I know I have dropped the bag? I have not looked around.”
“No,” replied the man. “You can tell by the lessening of the weight.”
“Yes,” went on the black man, “that is how I know I am saved. I have lost the guilty feeling of sin & sorrow & have found peace & satisfaction in my Lord & Saviour.”
THE BUTTERFLY BEHIND THE GLASS
When I was in England, during one of the conferences, a woman told me she was once awakened by a very strange noise of pecking, or something of the kind. When she got up, she saw a butterfly flying back & forth inside the window pane in a great fright, & outside a sparrow pecking & trying to get in. The butterfly did not see the glass, & expected every minute to be caught, & the sparrow did not see the glass, & expected every minute to get the butterfly. Yet all the while that butterfly was as safe as if it had been millions of miles away, because of the glass between it & the sparrow. So it is with a Christian. Satan cannot touch the soul that has the Lord Jesus Christ between itself & him.
