GOSPEL NUGGET #575

I made the waters of a 12 feet deep swimming pool literally my bed with no effort on my part at all. There I was lying on my back with the waters underneath me and the stars above me. I did it by getting myself into a lifejacket and allowed it to buoy me up.

Saving faith is like that. Spiritually speaking, as sinners, none of us can swim at all; we don't have spiritual buoyancy in us. Left to ourselves, we will all eventually sink and drown.

But God be thanked that He has made available for us a spiritual lifejacket in Christ Jesus and what He did on the cross. If we entrust ourselves to Him and what He did on the cross we will float, rest on water so to speak and enjoy the grandeur of heaven like what I did on that 12-feet deep pool.
