"Now, actually, there is beginning to come into the thinking of a great many folks, that out yonder somewhere there is Someone. And they've got a modern song, 'Put your hand in the hand of the man of Galilee.' Well, that's getting pretty close to it, by the way. But even that I think is missing it, because you've got to come to Him as a sinner. And you have to accept Him first as your Savior. And today I hear a great deal about 'let's make our commitment.' What is your commitment, by the way? If you think that it's a matter of just coming to Him and making Him, as I hear it, 'make Him your Lord and Master,' He said there are gonna be many who are gonna say, 'Lord, Lord,' in that day. You don't make Him Lord and Master first; you make Him Savior. He died for you. And if you don't begin with Him there, at the cross, you're not gonna begin with Him anywhere."[1]
