Religious people talk about "getting saved." Yet even most religious people understand no more of what the Bible teaches about salvation — the real meaning of the word "salvation" — than a certain young man did about another religious expression.
       He said to me, "I gave my heart to the Lord at the revival meeting last night."
       "Well," I said, "Just what do you mean — you gave your heart to the Lord? Just how did you do that? Did you reach in your hand, take your heart out, and actually hand it to the Lord — and was He really right there, in Person?"
       "Well, uh — uh —" he stammered, confused, "uh — well, no, I didn't do that."
       "Then just what did you do? How did you give your heart to the Lord?" He stammered some more, then guessed he didn't know.
       That's the way it is with a lot of people who say "I got saved." They don't really know what they mean by "get­ting saved."
       Do you know what the Bible teaches about salvation? Millions of sincere people have supposed they knew — yet have been deceived into accepting a false salvation.
       It's about time to get to the plain WHYS, WHATS, HOWS, and WHENS, so you can see it clearly, plainly, right in your own Bible! Why should the most important thing in life be a vague, mysterious, superstitious, ethereal, meaningless thing?
       I'm going to make it plain — in your Bible! So prepare yourself for a shock! And don't believe me — believe the Bible!
