Anything in your mailbox from Jesus?

There is nothing more exciting than getting mail on your birthday; I'm convinced. It was just that image that I was struck with as I considered Oswald Chambers' thoughts on the difference between salvation and conversion. Check it out:

"The only sign that a man is saved is that he has received something from Jesus Christ. Our part as workers for God is to open men’s eyes that they may turn themselves from darkness to light; but that is not salvation, that is conversion—the effort of a roused human being. I do not think it is too sweeping to say that the majority of nominal Christians are of this order; their eyes are opened, but they have received nothing. Conversion is not regeneration."
-Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest"

Have you received anything from Christ?
