Associate Professor of Christian Education, Biola Bible College The One-Bollar Bill I have before me a one-dollar bill. Have you ever examined one carefully? There is no danger of my not recognizing it as a one-dollar bill, for it has “ one” on it, in some form, twenty-five times! To those who handle it or see it, the hill is really saying, twenty-five times, “ I am a one- dollar bill” ! It seems eager to let it be known that it is a one-dollar bill . This small, green piece of paper is real ly sending out a challenge to those of us who know the Lord Jesus as our Saviour —telling us that we should let it be known that we belong to Him. The bill makes no secret of the fact that it is a one-dollar bill, does it? W hy should we ever try to hide the fact that we belong to the Lord Jesus, and that He is our Sav iour? God’s Word says much about confessing Him “ before men!’ and “ with the mouth.” Read from your Bibles Romans 10:9, 10 and Matthew 10:32. Do you see what the word “ confess” means here? Yes, it is very important to tell others that we are Christians and that the Lord Jesus died for us. And God is telling us that we should do this wherever there is an opportunity. I once knew a little girl who was so happy when she received the Lord Jesus as her Saviour, that she felt she had to share the good news with her playmates. She went to school the next day and an nounced to all of her friends, “ I have given my heart to Jesus.” Her name was Jewel— and how glad she was to become one of Jesus’ precious jewels! There are other ways, too, to let it be known that we belong to the Lord Jesus. Did you ever hear your mother say, “ Ac tions speak louder than words” ? Surely you have! God’s Word says that we are to be “ doers” of the Word as well as “ hearers.” It is by the things that we do, and the words that we speak, that we should let others know that we belong to Jesus. Some boys and girls say with their lips they are Christians, but they fail to act very much like Christians. God sees the heart, you know, but peo ple see only our outward appearance. How important it is, then, to let others know by all that we do that the Lord Jesus is our Saviour! There is a verse in Colossians 3:17 which says: “Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” What an excellent motto for all of us!
