III. CONCLUSION
- There is a rumor about Christopher Hitchens, who is an atheist, that he became a Christian in his deathbed. But the confession of his widow, "He was utterly of himself." This means that his pride of his belief that there is no God despite the proclamation of the Gospel to him on his deathbed by his Christian friends is a witness that there is no spiritual healing for his soul...no salvation. That's a sad thing.
- God is working. Humble yourselves before the Lord and be saved. There is no salvation for the prideful person.
