In his biography by Johannes Gossner, Martin Boos (1762-1825), a Roman Catholic priest, tells how he was saved: “In 1788 or 1789 I visited a sick person respected for her deep humility and piety. I said to her, ‘You will die peacefully and happily.’ ‘Why so?’ she asked. ‘Because you have led such a holy life.’ The good woman smiled at my words and said, ‘If I leave the world relying on my own piety, I am sure to be lost. But relying on Jesus my Savior, I can die in comfort. What a clergyman you are! If I listened to you, what would become of me? No; if Christ had not died for me, if He had not made satisfaction for me, I should have been lost forever, notwithstanding all my good works. He is my hope, my salvation, and my eternal happiness.’” Happily for him, he was humble enough to receive the truth through so lowly an instrument. Receiving Christ as Savior, he tasted the peace and joy of salvation. Although persecuted severely, he led many, including priests, to trust alone in Christ as Savior.
