Be A Nun – That Must Be The Answer

By Former Catholic Nun Shirley Waltz

I was deeply concerned with the problem of how to live close to God and above temptation, and I came to the conclusion that separation from the world into a cloister must be the solution.
 
I was not born into a Roman Catholic family, but was exposed to much of its influence during my childhood. As a teenager, I was determined to find the answer. I began to read all the books I could find on Roman Catholicism and the lives of the “Saints.” I was thrilled as I read the lives of St. Bernadette, St. Theresa, St. Francis, St. Claire and many others. The Ave Maria Hour became my favorite radio program. One thing, however, that impressed me about the lives of the Roman Catholic Saints was their lack of assurance of eternal life — for I knew that the Bible said: “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13). For a while I dismissed this problem and became acquainted with the nuns at the convent near my home and also with the parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes Church. With their assistance I chose the Carmelite Order and was determined to stay there for life after my graduation from high school. Surely then I could devote my time to God and live free from temptation!
 
The next step was Roman Catholic instruction. About a month before my high school graduation, a friend of mine, Gilbert Hetes, who was studying to be a priest, gave me a book on Roman Catholic doctrine. Up to this time I knew little or nothing of what the Roman Catholic Church taught doctrinally. I felt sure that what little difficulties would arise could be smoothed out satisfactorily.
 
As I began to read, my eyes were immediately opened to the Roman Catholic teaching on works for salvation. I knew that the Bible said in 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.” As I continued to read the Roman Catholic doctrine book, I knew I could never become part of a system that taught its people to trust in their own righteous acts for salvation, when the Bible says, “All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). I studied the Roman Catholic doctrines of the Mass, the Papacy, Purgatory, Confession, Penance, Sacraments, Perpetual Virginity, Immaculate Conception, and the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. I investigated its claims of being the only True Church, Apostolic Succession, Papal Infallibility, etc. I learned that they admitted many of their doctrines were not found in the Bible. I discovered that the Bible references they gave for their doctrines did not support them, but refuted them.
 
God was leading me, and it was not long before a book called “Absolute Surrender” by Andrew Murray fell into my hands. As I read it, I saw that I did not have to try to live the Christian life any more than I had to work for my salvation. I came to know Christ as my all-sufficient Lord. Just as I trusted in His one perfect sacrifice on Calvary for my salvation, so I learned that as I daily yield to Him my life—He will provide the strength for me to live a victorious Christian life. I experienced the truth of Paul’s inspiring testimony, “nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
 
The story is not ended, though, for I realized that to enter a convent would be against the will of God rather than to honor Him. My heart went out to the girls who had entered the convents under the spurious guarantee of gaining merits and ultimately Heaven. I no longer wanted to become a Roman Catholic. Now I desire that they might come to know the Lord Jesus Christ in a real way. God opened the way for me to go to Providence-Barrington Bible College in Providence, Rhode Island. For three years I studied God’s Word and prepared for full-time Christian service. While there, God deepened my burden to be a missionary to the Roman Catholic people—the “Religious, but lost.”
 
After my graduation, God led me to work at the “Conversion Center,” which is being used for the evangelization of Roman Catholic priests, nuns, and “whosoever will.” By His grace we desire that many will find as their all-sufficient Savior, Jesus Christ Who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).
 
Will you now give your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ and trust Him fully as your all-sufficient Savior? It is written, “And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; … For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Hebrews 10:11-14). — Shirley Waltz

This Is My Story

By Converted Monk And Priest Henry Gregory Adams

 
What great relief and heavenly peace came into my soul when Christ found me, a lost sinner! I was born of Roman Catholic parents in Wolseley, Saskatchewan, Canada and brought up strictly in the Roman Catholic faith. From early youth I was trying to be good, yet falling progressively into sin. With the rest of the crowd I was heading to perdition.
 

Salvation through the Monastery

 
I was told that by becoming a monk and priest, I could avoid sin and be more certain of my salvation. Because I was sincerely seeking salvation, I entered the Bacillin Order of monks, received the long black robe and an adopted monastic name of “Saint Hilarion the Great,” and made my vows. As a monk-student I was called “Brother Hilarion,” and after ordination, “Father Hilarion.”
 

I Whip Myself

 
How eager I was to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. By leading a monastic life I thought I was doing just that. I performed all my monastic duties to the last rule. I whipped myself every Wednesday and Friday evening till at times my back bled; in penance I often kissed the floor; often I ate my meager meal kneeling down on the floor, or completely deprived myself of food. I did many forms of penances, for I was truly seeking salvation. I was taught that I could eventually merit heaven. I did not know that the Word of God says: “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” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
 

A Priest at Last

 
After years of studies and manual labor in the monastery, I was ordained a priest. I served five parishes in the Lamont, Alberta area; said Mass every day, heard confession, recited the rosary to Mary, had many devotions to many saints, recited the breviary of formula prayers every day, and, as a monk, performed my penances more fervently than ever. Yet, these did not satisfy my weary soul. I was heading into even deeper distress of soul than when I was a boy, but Christ was faithful in His care for me.
 

God’s Book and My Church

 
Among the studies for the priesthood we had three textbooks on the Bible, but not the Bible itself. After I was ordained a priest, I became acquainted with the Catholic version of the Bible and in it was striking verses that contradicted my very beliefs and practices. God’s Book said one thing, my church another. Who was right, the Roman Church or God? I eventually believed God’s Word.
The monastic life and the sacraments prescribed by the Roman Catholic Church did not help me to come to know Christ personally and find salvation. After twelve and a half long years I escaped from the monastery, a lost sinner, without peace in my soul. In me was still the old nature of the “old man.” I needed a new nature, a new heart. “As the truth is in Jesus…the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians 4:21-24).
This can only be brought about by being born again of the Spirit of God by faith alone in Jesus Christ, and not by monotonous repetition of prayers, penances, sacrifices, and good works. “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3) “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31).
 

I Trust Christ Alone

 
I realized that the man-made sacraments of my church and my good works were in vain for salvation. They led but to a false security. Soon after, I believed that Christ died for me because I could not save my soul, and I trusted Him alone for my salvation. When I repented of my sins and accepted Him into my heart, believing that on the cross He paid the complete penalty for my condemnation, I knew that my sins were not only forgiven but also forgotten and that I was justified before God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). The blood of Christ cleansed me from all my sins. “The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (I John 1:7). And now I have God’s peace. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).
 

My Word to You

 
Friend, if you too are trying to reach heaven on your own, may I impress upon you that it is “not of works, lest any man should boast.” Heaven is infinite and can never be earned; we are finite and sinful. Christ alone is the way and the answer. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (I Timothy 2:5-6). Come to Him now just as you are, admitting your sins. Ask His pardon and accept Him as your own Savior and Lord. Begin to rely on Him for your eternal welfare for He bought salvation for you. He calls you now: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Then you too can rejoice with me in your newfound Friend and Savior, the living Christ.
 

Ex‐Nun Finds Peace With God

The Conversion of A Catholic Nun

By Wilma L. Sullivan, formerly Sister Wilma Marie R.S.M.

Being raised in the Roman Catholic Church by wonderful and loving parents, I came to realize that I had a strong desire to do the will of the Lord in what I considered to be a special way. The only way I felt I could serve the Lord to the fullest was by entering religious life. From 1967 to 1971, I was a member of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union. I thank the Lord for the experience, love and guidance that was given me there. However, my last two years were very difficult. I found division instead of unity. We were so busy “serving the Lord,” we didn’t have enough time to be with Him and share Him with each other. My life at this point was in total uncertainty because I felt our goal was to share Christ together and then turn to the world. To me, I was not being fed the spiritual food I needed to feed the world in which I lived. In 1971, I left religious life with the intent of finding out what I felt, why I felt it, and what to do when I found the answers.
 
While still in the convent, I had begun to question my faith in the Roman Catholic Church and the sacraments that I was receiving. I truly prayed to God that even though I didn’t believe totally in the Eucharist, that He would somehow show me the truth. Since leaving the convent, I still remained Catholic, trying to do what I believed was right in the eyes of the Church. I still had many doubts about my faith, especially where Confession and the Eucharist were concerned. I believed in my heart that when I sinned, I sinned against God and, therefore, He should be my Confessor, not a man. The Bible gave me my answer in this regard in I Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator between god and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
 
My main problem, however, was my lack of faith in the Eucharist. It kept bothering me so I started to search for the answers in the Bible. In Hebrews 10:10‐12 & 14, it says: “By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God…For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.”
 
After reading these verses, I truly felt I had found the answer why I couldn’t believe that the bread and wine at Mass were actually Christ’s body and blood. He offered His body and blood once for all—not every day as the Catholic Church says they do in performing the same sacrifice; i.e., just before the actual consecration, the priest prays: “…let it (the bread and wine) become for us, the body and blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son, our Lord.” A great percentage of Catholics do not believe that the bread and wine are truly body and blood of Christ but only a remembrance of what He did for them. The second Vatican Council stated that if a person did not believe Christ was truly present in body at the Consecration, “let him be accursed.” I found another verse which gave me the ultimate solution for my decision. When Christ was dying on the cross, he said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). He was the ultimate sacrifice, He died once for all (every sin of every man, past, present and future) and no one could make any more offerings; He had done it all.
 
With these many questions in my mind, I entered the hospital for minor surgery in October of 1973. While there, I met a woman who was also a patient. Although I was there only a short time and didn’t know her well, I kept in contact with her daily for the next week. She invited me to her home to talk about spiritual things and since she knew I was an ex‐nun and with my feeling that she needed someone to talk with, I accepted her invitation. Two of her friends were there and for the first time in my life, my religion was challenged. The most important thing I learned from this talk was that all good works one could do during his lifetime are not what makes it possible for a person to go to heaven. As it is shown in Isaiah 64:6, “All our righteousness are as filthy rags;” and again in Ephesians 2:8‐9, “For by grace are ye saved though faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Therefore, what saves you from going to Hell is not your good works, but your faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour.
 
During our discussion that first night, I was invited to go to their church, Calvary Baptist Church in Lansdale, PA. I did go, and after the second Sunday of going to Mass at the Catholic church, and then going to their church, I asked to speak to their Pastor, Robert Jordan, just to talk about my life and where I was headed.
 
Pastor Jordan gave me the testimony of how he was saved and what the Lord had done for him. He said that he had never realized that he was lost; neither did I, but praise the Lord, I did then.
 
I never knew I could go to Hell. Ever since I was a child, I had been taught that God was a loving God and it would take a pretty bad person to go to Hell, if I would try to be good, go to confession when I was bad, and receive communion as often as possible, I would go to Heaven‐if I died without any sins on my soul. In St. John’s Gospel, the word believe is used 97 different times in his efforts to tell the Christians of that time and of the present time that their works didn’t have anything to do with salvation but by simply believing, trusting in Christ, would a person be saved‐once and for all. If you will recall, any time Christ performed a miracle, He asked only one thing of the person He intended to help, and that was faith‐belief in Him and he was healed.
 
I came to realize that I was a sinner purely by being born into this world and that no baptism could take away that sin but only my faith and acceptance of Him as my personal Saviour‐ “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16:16)‐the baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. Through my acceptance and love of Him, I have the blessed assurance of going to Heaven when I die.
 
Just before I left the Catholic Church, I went to talk with a priest about my many disbelief’s. We talked for about 45 minutes and at the conclusion of our talk, he told me that I would never leave the Catholic Church‐never. I asked him why he felt that way and he told me that I was too steeped in the tradition of the Church. I answer: “I’m not seeking the tradition of any Church‐I’m seeking God and I have found Him. I have come to realize that every word of the Bible is truly the Word of God and that through His Word and only His Word (not through any man made tradition or laws of any Church) the answers for not only life from day to day can be found, but also a blessed assurance of what will come for those who have been faithful to His Word.”
 
My prayer for all who read this is that you will open your hearts to Christ. He is the only One Who can save you. No church can do it. I can’t do it. No priest, minister or friend can do it. Christ is the only One and he won’t do it until you open yourself totally to Him and are truly willing to “take your cross daily and follow Him.” This does not mean having head knowledge of what Christ has done for you. Before you can be saved by Him, there must first be a true repentance for your sins and a knowledge of your going to Hell if you don’t turn to Him to save you. Romans 10:9‐10 says: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
 
Since the day I was saved, Christ has totally changed my life and gives me peace, and the deepest conviction I have ever had. I pray that you too may come to know the Lord as your personal Saviour and thus become a true Christian for His sake and for the glory of Almighty God.
 
Romans 5:1, “Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Mission To Catholics
 

From Rome To Christ – Former Priest’s Testimony

By Former Catholic Priest Mark Pena

 
My name is Mark Pena. I was born in a little town north of Burgos called Villamediana de Lomas, Spain.
 
Because I wanted to be a missionary, I decided to enter the novitiate to become a Roman Catholic priest.
 
I began the novitiate July 24, 1949. After a year and a day we had to swear and promise to God before the Holy Community to observe for one year the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience. With this ceremony we began to be members of the Congregation of the Oblate Missionaries of Mary the Immaculate. After this, we moved to Madrid to the Seminary Major that the Oblates have in Pozuelo de Alarcon. There we had to study two years of Philosophy and four years of Theology to be priests.
 
After three years it was necessary to profess for our entire lives the vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. Before arriving at ordination, the seminary student has to climb several steps on his ascent toward the top. They are called Orders, Minor Orders and Major Orders. It begins with the Tonsure, during the first year of Theology; then followed by the other orders.
 
On March 17, 1956, in the Church of the Seminary of Madrid, at the hands of the Bishop of Madrid-Alcala, Dr. Eyjo Garay, Patriarch of the East Indies, together with four classmates, I received my ordination to the priesthood.
 
My first Mass took place in the church of the Religiosas de San Jose de Cluny, in Pozuelo de Alarcon, the following day, Sunday, March 18, 1956. With great internal emotion and sublime sentiment for this first Mass I remember my nervousness that I should not break any of the rites and ceremonies. But here I must almost shout out loud that this “Greatest Act of Worship” in the Roman Catholic Church is only a kind of daily comedy—a serious comedy, yes, but comedy nevertheless. In the words of John Knox, a former Roman Catholic Priest, who became, after his conversion to Christ, the great leader of the Presbyterian Church—“THE MASS IS BLASPHEMY!”
 
The first Mass with the family in our home town was something humanly great for a little town such as mine. Everyone lived two days of intense emotion and fiesta during the 8th and 9th of July, 1956. We had fireworks, music, floral displays, games and joy. I was the first priest from that town and because of that it was a great pride for all the families.
 
I served as professor of Latin and French for the fourth year and Spanish Literature and Music for the fifth year, but I liked the preparation of the Sunday sermon for the 11 o’clock Mass in our church.
 
As the Provincial Patriarch knew of my missionary desires, he destined me together with another Oblate Father as Co-Pastor of a parish in the city of Badajoz. The 14th of November, 1958, I arrived at the Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption at Badajoz; formed by a populace borough of a big suburb with great spiritual and material misery. It was made up of 9,000 souls. For three years, I worked in this parish in the midst of the joy, contentment and satisfaction of the people. Truthfully, they felt proud of me. And I loved them and sought to win them by every means.
 
Increasingly, I felt burdened by my sins, and realized that there was no assurance of forgiveness through confessions and Roman Catholic practices. I felt that I was lost forever. The Mass and other practices became meaningless. I determined that I must leave the priesthood, go into the world and obtain secular employment and “enjoy life.”
 
Increasingly, I felt dissatisfaction with the Mass, and the spiritual emptiness of the Roman Catholic Church. I contacted a Protestant pastor in Madrid, Alberto Arajo Fernandez. I did not know him but had been told that he was a prudent man and an earnest Christian. The first contact with him was very simple and cordial. And yet, the great majority of Roman Catholics, at least in Spain, think that Evangelical Protestants are something like rare insects! He let me explain my problem, and with wisdom and love before unknown to me, he counseled me and encouraged me to spend much time reading the New Testament. We corresponded regularly.
 
In February of 1962, I resolved to take the great step, to leave the Roman Catholic priesthood. I could not continue where there was only ritualistic coldness; as it is written, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:5). I wrote to Arajo asking him to look for a place where I could hide, and a letter to another pastor in Bilbao, Juan Eizaguirre, asking him similarly, because at the first opportunity I was determined to leave the priesthood.
 
My Superior had arranged for me to preach in the celebration of the appearances of the virgin in Fatima. I chose it as my time to leave the priesthood and my religious state. I arrived in Madrid, May 8, 1962. Then I took the 3:30 plane to Holland, immediately, to get out of Spain before my Superior could learn of my defection and have the police close the Spanish border to me.
 
At this time, I knew nothing of true Biblical salvation. But in Holland, I lived with an Evangelical Protestant family. They read the Bible together and prayed in family devotions and at meals. They recommended me to Dr. Hegger, who was a converted priest and director of a work in Holland to help priests who want to leave the Roman System. It is called, “In the Straight Street,” from the reference in the Acts of the Apostles. Dr. Hegger counseled with me and answered many of my doctrinal questions from the Word of God.
 
Shortly thereafter, I returned to Spain, via Portugal (for safety) to visit my mother, who was sick and worrying about me. The Lord enabled me to live in safety with my family for a month, and my mother improved greatly. On my return, by train, I was in my compartment, reading the Bible and praising the Lord. In this attitude of praise, passages of Scripture came to me, emphasizing that Jesus Christ is a perfect Savior; the only Savior; the all-sufficient Savior; that He made one perfect, never-to-be-repeated sacrifice on the cross of Calvary for my sins; that He was my substitute, my sin-bearer; and that He would impute His righteousness to me and forgive all my sins if I would but trust Him with all my heart. In one moment, I did so. I gave Him my life, my soul, and accepted Him, trusted Him as my Lord and Savior forever. The words of GOD were fulfilled in my heart and life: “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins” (Acts 10:43). My sins are forgiven; my soul is saved; heaven is my home; Christ is mine, and I am His forever!
 
I returned to Holland, where I contacted The Conversion Center, about coming to America and studying the Word of God. The Lord enabled me, after some difficulty, to arrive, via Canada, in September of 1963, when I commenced studies at Faith Theological Seminary. — Mark Pena
 
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” (Romans 10:1-4).”

The Priest Who Found Christ

By Joseph Zacchello – Former Catholic Priest

I was born in Venice, Italy. After twelve years of study in a Roman Catholic Seminary, the Church ordained me as a priest. I was sent to the Italian Church of Blessed Mother Cabrini in Chicago. For four years I preached in Chicago, and later in New York. I never questioned if my sermons or instructions were according to the Bible. My only work and ambition was to please the Pope.
 
One Sunday, by chance, I tuned in a Protestant radio program. I was going to change the station. I was not to listen to Protestant sermons. Interested, I do not know why, I kept listening. My theology was shaken by this Bible test which I heard over the radio. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved.” (Acts 16:31). I concluded that it was not a sin against the Holy Spirit to have assurance of one’s salvation.
 
I was not converted then, but my mind was full of doubts about the Roman religion. I became concerned more about the teachings of the Bible than about the dogma and decrees of my Pope. People were giving me a generous offering for thirty minutes of Mass. I promised to relieve the souls of their relatives from the fires of purgatory.
 
But when I looked at the big crucifix upon the altar it seemed that Christ was speaking to me. “You are stealing money through false promises. Souls of believers do not go to a place of torment! I have said, ‘Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours (Revelations 14:13).’ God does not need daily sacrifices. My sacrifice was complete. My work of salvation was perfect. The Father approved it by raising Me from the dead. ‘For by one offering He has perfected for ever them that are being sanctified (Hebrews 10:14).’ If the priests and the Pope have the power of liberating souls from purgatory with Masses and indulgences, why do they wait for an offering?”
 
I could no longer face the Christ on the altar. As I preached that the Pope was the Vicar of Christ, the successor of Peter, a voice seemed to rebuke me again. “You saw men kissing the Pope’s feet. Do you really believe that he represents Me? I came to serve the people. I washed men’s feet. Do you really believe that God has built His church upon a man when the Bible clearly says that Christ’s Vicar on earth is the Holy Spirit!” (See John 14:26).
 
I was teaching my people to go to Mary, to the Saints, instead of going directly to Christ. But a voice within me was saying, “Who has saved you upon the cross? Who paid your debts by shedding His blood: Mary, the Saints, or I, Jesus? My believers should adore Me – in spirit and truth.”

My doubts were really tormenting me inside the confessional box. People were coming to me, kneeling down before me, and confessing their sins. And I, with a sign of the cross was promising that I had the power to forgive their sins. I, a sinnner, was taking God’s place. The Holy Spirit said, “You are depriving God of His glory. If sinners want forgiveness for their sins, they must go to God and not to you. They have broken God’s law. To God, therefore, they must make confession. No man can forgive sins. ‘You shall call His name JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins (St. Matthew 1:21).’ ‘For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).'”
 
I could not stay any longer in the Roman Catholic Church. I could not continue to serve two masters, the Pope and Christ. I could not believe two contradictory teachings, tradition and the Bible. I had to choose between Christ and the Pope; between tradition and the Bible.
 
I chose Christ and the Bible! I left the Roman priesthood and the Roman religion and began sharing Jesus Christ with Catholics. I am urging Christians to witness, without fear, to win their Roman Catholic friends to Christ.
 
Friend, do you realize your need of Christ’s salvation from sin? Do you desire His offer of forgiveness and peace? Will you now call upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save you? He said, “Him that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out” (St. John 6:37). See Romans 3:23; 6:23; St. John 3:16; 1:12; 1 John 5:11-12. – Joseph Zacchello
