Salvation
We would like to extend an invitation to you to believe and receive
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. We here all welcome you and ask
you to consider answering His call to you.
Below is a quote from a famous minister who led many people to the
Throne of God. Follow your heart and ask the Lord Jesus to be your Lord.
Call to Him and He will answer.
Any of us here at this board will be glad to help you in any way we can
to help you understand any questions you have.

Enter a Sinner... and leave a Saint:
Let me take another illustration. There was the blood in Goshen. God
says, "When I see the blood I will pass over you." Now He does not say,
"When I see Moses' feelings, or the feelings of the people, I will pass
over you"; or, "When I see you praying and weeping, I will pass over
you"; but, "When I see the blood I will pass over you." It was the blood
that saved them, not their righteousness. And a little child by that
blood in Goshen was just as safe as Moses or Aaron or Joshua or Caleb.
It was the blood that saved them. Look! there is the Jew taking the
hyssop. He dips it in the blood, and strikes it on the doorpost. One
minute it is not there: the next it is there. The moment the blood is
there they are saved. God says, "When I see the blood I will pass over
you." Some people say, "If I were only as good as that minister I should
feel so safe" or, "If I were only as good as that mother in Israel who
has been praying fifty years for the poor and unfortunate, should I not
feel very safe? "
My friends, if you are behind the blood, you are as
safe as any man or woman who has been praying for fifty years. It is not
their righteousness and good works that are going to save them. They
never saved any one. God says, "When I see the blood I will pass over
you." [ABCOG: Moody understands "pass over" to mean "bypass". It can
also mean "hover over to protect"] And when I am sheltered behind the
blood, then I am saved; and if I am not sheltered behind the blood, I am
not saved. That was instantaneous, was not it? God says, "When I see
the blood, it shall be a token, and I will not enter." Death came down
and passed over Egypt; and where the blood was on the doorpost he passed
by; but where the blood could not be found, in he went and took the
victim away.
The great palaces could not keep out death; wealth and
position could not keep out death. He went and took the Crown Prince of
Egypt; he took the richest and the poorest, the highest and the lowest.
Death makes no distinction, except a man is behind the blood.
My friends, be wise to-night, and get behind the blood. The blood has
been shed. The blood is on the mercy-seat; and while it is there you can
be saved. God is imputing to His Son your trespasses and sins. He says,
"I will look at the blood on the mercy-seat." Press in, my friends;
make haste and get in tonight; for the Master of the house will rise up
by-and-by and shut to the door, and then there will be no hope.
Taken from Dwight L Moody's Last Sermon in London. Preached July 11th,
1875
