Not long ago I was thumbing through an old Bible, and I discovered a poem written many long years ago by my wife's great grandmother, Caroline Isabel (Birky) Stutzman. The words she penned convey the urgency I think we need to have when considering the fate of every prson around us and our own soul. Grandma Caroline was born July 18, 1889, and yet these words are so strickingly relevant today. The poem is entitled "Is It True?"
You say you have accepted Christ How wonderful, if it is really true. But to be saved for long eternity Christ too must have accepted you. For the words of Christ are thus, If you love Me My commandments you will keep, Be sure Satan is not deceiving you Truly many who thought they knew shall weep For many souls are only deceived And think to Christ they are true But some day they shall hear His voice "Depart from Me for I never knew you."
