Because OF Great Cost.
II o. great salvation because Of
/ the price paid. God gave his only
hogottCn son. Your salvation cost
God tears. II cost Jesus Christ the
agony Of Gothscmane. II cost ham
| the pain and humiliation OF the
cross. So it's n great salvation be-
/ cnuso Of its cost,
II ig a great salvation because Of
that from which II saves. A drunk
ard was tired of ltfo and was on his
way to the river to end It all. on
his way ho stopped IN Bowery
mission and found Jesus Christ and
went his way rejoicing, IL saved

| The Scripture teaches that the eye
hath not seen and the ear hath not
/ hClrd how great arc the things
/ which cod is preparing for those
who love him and kocp his com
mandmcuts. John had a vision of
hoaNou when ho was out on the
island OF rntmus Guided and di-
roctcd by the gp,rit OF God he went
out alone aud God revealed to him
certain things which he was to tell
to th1 churches, So John saw heaven
ns "A place of golden streets and
jasper walls and gates OF pearl be-
cause he had 10 reveal heaven ia
terms which the human mind was
cnpahlc OF comprehonding. No man
can conceive of city more beauti-
ful than the city which God revealed
to John, and yet u is more beautiful
than that It | could pun back the

10 is a great salvation because of
what 10 saves as to,
II is q great salvation because OF
tho number OF people Tor whom II
