For no matter how much I would pray for you, if you yourself didn’t have the faith, it wouldn’t do any good. That’s right. It takes your faith. And no matter how much I preach to you and how well I brought the Gospel to you, if ye yourself…It’s your own personal faith in Christ that saves you. Is that right? I couldn’t save you, no matter how bad I’d want to. I’ve got brothers that’s not saved. And I’ve tried my best and persuaded, and cried, and begged, and tried to stand in the breach for them. But they’ve got to have their own faith in God. Many of you Christian people here has brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and fathers, and children, and everything, unsaved. Is that right? Raise your hand. Well, you can’t save them. You can’t do what Christ has already done. Christ has saved them. Now, the only thing they have to do is accept that salvation, God’s free gift.
