What didhe say?
I don’t wantanyone tosave me. Iwant to
savemyself.
But you’lldrown!
There is noland for
over 1,000miles.
Yes, but I’vebasically lived a
pretty good life. Imean, over the yearsI’ve done more goodthings than bad ...
... so I don’t thinkI need anyone to
save me.
Dear God, thank you forsending your son to die onthe cross on my behalf. I
now place my trust in him tosave me for all eternity.

Without us,you’ll drown!
You make it sound like you’rethe only way I can be saved.
Isn’t that a bit tooexclusive?
There are noother boats
out here.
Yeah, well, what if I imaginedI were a boat, or I started
chanting, “I can save myself.I can save myself” ...
... then I’d be ableto save myself.
I think he’sdelirious.
Listen, Irespect yourbelief that Iwill drown. Ijust ask that
you respect mybelief that I
can savemyself.
But your belief willlead to certain death.
You arrogant %$#!@! Who doyou think you are pushingyour views on others? Whycan’t you accept my beliefs?
Youintolerant,bigoted ...
blub!
Sounds crazy,doesn’t it?
My brother!He’s gone!
Why would anyonereject a free gift
of being saved?
Wecouldhavesavedhim ifhe hadjust
let us.
It was free too!All he had to do
was take it.For the wages ofsin is death, butthe gift of Godis eternal lifein Christ Jesus
our Lord.Romans 6:23
It is a free gift. Wecannot earn it with ourgood behavior any morethan we can swim 1,000
miles in the ocean.
Yet hefoolishlywanted to
earn it, andnow he’s gone.
For it is by grace you have been saved, throughfaith-and this not from yourselves, it is the giftof God-not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8,9
we’re all in the same spot as the guy in thewater ... drowning in our sins. and every
day lots of people are rejecting God’s free giftof salvation - God sent his son, Jesus, to earth
to die on the cross for our sins.
And the Biblesays there isonly one wayto be saved.
Hethoughtwe werebeingpushy.
Salvation is found in no one else, for thereis no other name [Jesus] under heaven given
to men by which we must be saved.Acts 4:12
God caresfor us and
wants to havean individualrelationshipwith each of
us.
But wetrulycared!
For God so loved the world that he gave hisone and only Son [Jesus], that whoever believesin him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
We simply need torepent of doing
things our own wayand receive the
salvation God hasfor us through
Jesus’ sacrificialdeath and
resurrection.
If only hewouldhave
changedhis mindbefore itwas too
late.
