Take a moment today to remember the scene on the day you were saved. What drew you to Him? Is there anything in life preventing the same experience? One of the first things the Lord showed to me on the day of my salvation was the verse Psalm 42:1, and yes, the message I heard about Jesus on the cross. He truly fulfilled all things necessary to keep us from falling. Jude 24-25.
A poignant reminder of this was also mentioned by the Scottish missionary, Amy Carmichael who said, “God, hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.” ─ Amy Carmichael
Share your news with a Mormon you know because they obviously don’t believe God’s way of salvation is good enough.

The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, 49 “There is a great difference between exaltation and merely being saved. All will be saved from the grave. No question about it, if they are good and righteous people, they will be saved in some glory. Whether they are Catholics or Protestants or Jews or Gentiles, they will be saved from spiritual death. But to be “saved” is not good enough. One needs to be exalted to attain the great blessings.” — Spencer W. Kimball
