That used to bother me a great deal. What should I do if...? If I let my spouse die when I could save her with just the words from my mouth would not this be a very great sin? On the other hand how could I deny Christ!? I got the answer in, of all things, a comic book! That very scenario was presented. The doomed character begged, 'Don't do it (deny Christ)! I am saved. My destiny is assured.' That's it. My destiny and hers are assured.
