| Thank you Jesus for saving my soul... That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth theLord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart thatGod 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. Romans 10:9-10 A little boy walked up to this old preacher, after the preacher had just got finished preaching a sermon on getting saved and asked, "Mr. Preacher How do you know that you are saved?" You are not in heaven yet! The old preacher took the little boy by the hand across the street to a baseball field. The old man looked at the little lad and asked him, "Son have you ever been to a baseball game before?" The little boy said "yes sir I have" The old preacher said "Son, when a person gets up to bat, and he knocks the ball out of the park its a automatic home run. Right? But the batter still has to run the bases, and he has to touch the home base." "Well going to Heaven is kinda like that." "Once that ball has been knocked out of the park its a automatic home run." "But you still have to run the bases." "You run on to 1st base and you get justfied." "Then you run on to 2nd base and you get sanctified." "And then you run on to 3rd base and you get purified." "But Son the best thing about this ball game is that we don't even have to get up and bat. The old man began to dance!!!. He said Jesus knocked that ball out of the park 2000 years ago. Praise the Lord the old man shouted!!!! He looked down at the little boy and the little boy was crying. The old preacher said Son,"That is how I know that I am saved." The old man looked down at the little boy, and the little boy took off running. Fearing that he had scared the little boy in some way, The old man asked, "Son where are you going? He said I've got to run those bases. Because I just saw Jesus knock that ball out of this park!!! Prayer: Dear Jesus thank you so much for saving our souls. You did all of the work on that hill called Calvary, and because of what you did. We know that we are saved. Lord thank you for knocking that ball out of the park for us.
