He That Hath the Savior

His people have been called by Him, but they have been called TO Him. This is a call to Christ, not to a church or a doctrine or a ceremony or a ritual. It is a call to a Person. “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew:11:28-30 [28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

They have learned that men and women who believe in these truths are saved. They have intellectually consented to truth, but they have stopped there. It has been a call to truth and not a call to a Person. The plan of salvation does not save; it only directs us to the Saviour. “He that hath the Son hath life.” (I John:5:12Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
See All...) The Bible does not say, “He that hath the ‘truth’.” Salvation is in a Person; the Lord Jesus Christ.
