A wonderful evangelist of the last century was John R. Rice. He was a great man of God, the founder of the Christian newspaper Sword of the Lord, song writer, author and soul winner. His wisdom which came from God and the Bible is reflected in the following quote.
“When you get saved, you get saved not because you deserve it, but because you simply let God save you and because you confess your own poor sinful state and your inability to save yourself.” —John R. Rice
Ephesians 2:8 & 9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
