Who then is Saved? Jesus saved Peter when he took his eye off Christ! Turn your "spiritual eyes" on Christ and He will save you as well! A Point to Ponder . . . .

A Devotional for Tuesday April 28, 2026

From the pen of John Bunyan author of The Pilgrim's Progress

Who then is Saved?

Who then is Saved? An image of Jesus saving Peter who was walking on the water but who took his eyes off Christ!

“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God’”

Mark 10: 27.

Those of all these kinds that the Spirit of God shall bring [to] the Father by Jesus Christ. These . . . and none but these can be saved, because else the sinners might be saved without the Father, or without the Son, or without the Spirit.

Now, in all that I have said, I have not in the least suggested that any sinner is rejected because his sins are great. Christ Jesus came into the world to save the chief of sinners. It is not, therefore, the greatness of, but the continuance in sins that indeed damned the sinner. But I always exclude him that hath sinned against the Holy Ghost. That it is not the greatness of sin that excluded the sinner is evident—

It is evident also from the many sinners that we find to be saved, by the revealed will of God. For in the Word, we have mention made of the salvation of great sinners, where their names and their sins stand recorded for our encouragement as:

(1.)   You read of Manasseh, who was an idolater, a witch, a persecutor, yea, a rebel against the word of God, sent unto him by the prophets; and yet this man was saved (2 Chronicles 33: 2-13; 2 Kings 21: 16).

(2.)   You read of Mary Magdalene, in whom were seven devils; her condition was dreadful, yet she

was saved (Luke 8: 2).

(3.)   You read of the man that had a legion of devils in him. O how dreadful was his condition! And yet by grace he was saved (Mark 5: 1-10).

(4.)   You read of them that murdered the Lord Jesus, and how they were converted and saved (Acts 2: 23).

(5.) You read of the exorcists how they closed with Christ and were saved by grace (Acts 19: 13).
