That's salvation

Longfellow could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it, and make it worth $6,000
- that's genius.

Rockfeller could sign his name to a piece of paper, and make it worth a million dollars
- that's capital.

Uncle Sam can take gold, stamp an eagle on it, and make it worth $50
- that's skill.

An artist can take a fifty-cent piece of canvas, paint a picture on it, and make it worth $1,000
- that's art.

God can take a worthless, sinful life, wash it in the blood of Christ, put His Spirit in it,
and make it a blessing to humanity
- that's salvation.
