` For He (God) hath made Him (Christ) to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Him' (2 Cor. 5:21).
There is a wonderful transference here. He takes your sin and bears it away and pays the penalty in
your stead, which is death. Hence His atoning death on Calvary's cross. You take His righteousness by
simple trust in Him and the free gift of eternal life in the place of condemnation and death; and not only
this, but His almighty power which will enable you to live, in the fullest sense of the word, a life of peace
and joy, in spite of all circumstances.
God's way of salvation then is plain. You are a failing creature, a sinner. You need a Saviour. There
is only one Saviour, and He is Jesus Christ. When you put your trust in Him and rely entirely upon His
all sufficient work and merit, you are saved and that for all eternity and the question which heads this
leaflet is then answered as to what a real Christian is. It is YOU if you have taken this one vital and
necessary step. If you have not, then we would urge upon you, with all the earnestness at our command,
that you do it NOW. You cannot guarantee to-morrow, therefore let not this day pass before you go to
God quietly, simply, and in all sincerity and tell Him that you are a sinner; that you realise your need of
salvation and will put your trust in the only Saviour of sinners, the Lord Jesus Christ. The peace of mind,
the joy, the sense of a real purpose in life which will surely follow have to be experienced to be believed.
If you turn away and reject Him, things can never be the same for you again. At least, you will not be
able to say that you did not know. Do not be concerned or afraid of what other people may do or think.
What does this matter when eternal things are at stake? Never mind how much you have sinned and
failed in the past; remember He said that He came to call sinners not righteous people, and therefore He
came for YOU. He will not turn you away for He has given you this promise:
` Him that cometh to ME I will in no wise cast out' (John 6:37).
` He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to
make intercession for them' (Heb. 7:25).
He can be your Saviour here and now, and you can be a Christian in the truest sense if you will put
your trust in Him and receive His salvation and transforming power. This can only be done by yourself.
No one can do it for you. The question is:
WILL YOU?
Think well before you say NO, FOR YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY HANGS UPON YOUR
ANSWER.
