This question is of the greatest pos
sible importance. There is no satis
factory answer except i nthe Word
of God. There are four steps which
may he properly considered.
1. Acknowledge that you are a sin

until you are ill, nor will you call
upon Christ until you feel your need.
“For there is no difference; fpr all
have sinned, and come short'of tiie
glory of God.”—Romans 3:22, 23.
2. Accept Christ as your Savior. If
you are troubled with doubt or bur
dened with sin, nevertheless accept
Him. You must take the first step
by faith. Whittier says:
"The steps of faith
Fall on the seeming void
And find the rock beneath.”
“But as manyas received Him, to them
gave He the power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe on
His name.” Jno. 1:12.
3. Ask God for Ckrist’B sake to for-

Jesus—He cannot refuse you. “And
