We All Deserve Hell, But...

Every one of us deserves Hell for our sins against our Maker, BUT there is still hope for real sinners who sense their need and danger. Here's the Gospel Message in plain and simple terms: You’ve sinned against your kind Maker and your good Creator, you ought to die in your sins and be sent straight to hell with no hope of mercy. You deserve to be damned, and you know it. You should get what you deserve, and you’ve earned what’s coming to you. But there is a way to escape the eternal death and damnation your sins deserve. Religion teaches you to trust yourself in some way or fashion, but the Gospel teaches you to only trust in Christ’s work and blood. “The moment a real sinner believes, and trusts only in the Crucified God, A royal divine pardon at once he receives, and Free Salvation in full through God’s Blood.”

Man loves his sins, he insanely loves the evil that will eventually damn him, he is proud of his religious accomplishments, he has no love for God and refuses to glorify the God who died for him. Hell is promised you as the result of your sin, but Heaven is still available to you only through the mercy and Blood of God. But you still selfishly cling to your works and iniquities with a death-grip. You had rather trust yourself than just trust Christ alone. You prefer the sinful amusements of time, rather than the joys of eternity. Your damnation is your own choice; you will deserve to be damned if you die neglecting and rejecting Christ. Only the blood of Jesus Christ bridges the gap between a guilty sinner and a holy God.

God sent one man into this world who was sinless, He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He was a perfect and righteous man and the world hated Him. This is the surest proof that the human race is condemned and there is something bad wrong with the human race that is incurable. Every man is in an utterly lost and godless state, and must be renewed by the power of God. All men are bad from beginning to end and in dire need of the Savior. Men are senseless, ungrateful, laden with iniquity, totally sinful from head to foot.

This is man’s condemnation, God sent one sinless man into this world (Christ Jesus), and you don’t want Him. That shows you something about the darkness of your human nature. A good man who wants to quit his sin would appreciate a man who is sinless. If you don’t love Jesus Christ, there is something desperately wrong with your character. If Jesus Christ didn’t come to earth, you might have had an alibi for your sin. You could say, “Well, I’m just as good as so and so.” But Christ Jesus came into the world, and what can you say now? You can’t say, I’m just as good as so and so, because so and so is Jesus Christ, and you’re not as good as Him, because He is perfectly perfect, and you’re completely bad. You are utterly unable to get rid of your sin on your own. Your reformations can never atone for your sinful past, or work out a righteousness for your eternal future. You must look to Christ for all your soul’s needs. Never trust in any of your works to save you from sin.

Rest yourself on Christ; rely on His unchanging eternal grace and divine blood, trust yourself with the divine and living Savior. Never look to yourself or anything else for help, look only to Christ. He will be as good as His word, and save you now. Trust yourself to be saved by Christ alone. Go and put yourself into Christ’s hands and He will forgive and put away all your sins forever. Only trust Jesus and you are saved, no good works, no good feelings, no religious experiences are required. Just as you are, believe that Christ can save you now with a present and complete salvation. The way of salvation is to simply trust Christ and His works, simply believe He can and will save you, and trust yourself with Him.

God became a Jewish man, He was perfectly sinless all of His life from birth to death, He took all your sins upon His shoulders, He bore them up to Calvary’s Cross and suffered what was due for your sins in His own person on the Cross. You must trust yourself with Him, only trust the Crucified Redeemer with all your heart. If you’re a self-made man, you think you are your own creator, you are very proud of your own self and works, you have made yourself, you keep yourself going every day, but your latter end will be a frightful and terrible one. Your mind’s strength will decay, and your physical vigor will soon fail and waste away, and then you will have to face REALITY – death and judgment before the Almighty.

You may now believe in Christ and live eternally. Believe that He died for your sins, trust only in "HIM" personally for salvation. Only the Holy Spirit can make you feel yourself a sinner. Have done with feelings and doings and carnal reasonings, simply trust your guilty soul with the person of Christ. Here is salvation - Christ saves and sinners trust. Sincere trusting in Jesus' works is the safest thing you can do. Believe on Jesus, have done with all other wrong confidences, false hopes, and foolish trusts, REJECT your good works and self-righteousness, and say, “Christ is all my salvation." Trust only in His power to save. Never trust yourself at all.

Christ will deliver you from all the guilt of your past life, from the evil habits of your present life, and from the temptations of your future life. You can only come to Christ by trusting Him, trust Him and He will save you. No sinner has ever sincerely trusted Christ Himself in vain. Believe only in the Promises, rest on His promises. Renounce all other hopes and trusts, rest your lost soul in His pierced hands. Believe in Christ alone this moment. Trust to Christ only. Trusting in yourself will only lead to utter despair. It is now time for you to trust in God – the Lord Jesus Christ. If you would be saved from hell fire, you must turn from from sinful way of living and self-righteousness and trust Christ’s works. Only the Holy Spirit can give you the strength and grace to Turn to God. Saving faith is trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting Him truly, wholly, solely, constantly, trusting Him now. Trust in Christ to save your soul, and He will do it.

Believe what is written concerning Christ is true, and then, trust yourself entirely to Him, that will save you. Throw your whole weight on Him. Your whole and only hope hangs on the pierced hands that were nailed to the Cross. Your sole trust must be in God’s precious blood which flowed from His wounds. Stake all your eternity on Him. There is no peace for your soul unless you come and trust Christ. Come to Christ simply as you are, trust yourself with Christ. Cast your guilty soul under His blood. Only God the Great Creator can renew your inward nature, and re-purpose your life. Believe in Christ and be saved, look to the Bleeding Substitute and live, trust yourself to Christ alone, rest on His atoning sacrifice, and you are saved this moment. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you simple faith in Jesus. You are saved the moment that you stop trusting yourself, and trust Christ alone. Please don’t die unsaved. You must die and go somewhere to live forever – either heaven or hell. Hang your soul on Him who hung and bled on the cruel Cross for your sins. Just hang on Him in helpless dependence that hung on Calvary’s tree.

The bleeding wounds of Christ is the only remedy for human sin, there is no other remedy for your sin-sick soul but the Blood of God. Your past actions and future resolves are useless, meaningless, and worthless to help take away your sins against God. Trust your immortal soul only to Him who bled on the tree for your sins. You are not asked to do anything or feel anything, you are simply asked to trust your soul in the pierced hands of God. Turn from your love of sin and self, reject your good works, they will only help damn you. Why will ye die in your sins when God will freely save you for Jesus' sake? Think much of Jesus bleeding for your sins. Trust in God’s blood and you are safe and saved forever. Make Him your sole confidence, your soul’s only reliance and mainstay. Trust everything you have to Jesus this very moment. He will keep you to the end and to all eternity. Depend only on God’s Son.

You must stop trusting yourself completely, and you must trust your soul wholly and entirely, simply and eternally in the hands of Christ. Believe only in the Crucified God, there is no salvation in any other. Salvation is not in yourself at all, your feelings, works, and religious ceremonies will only deceive and damn you. Renounce your love of sin and come to Christ at the Cross.

Woe unto the soul that rejects Christ’s blood, that denies His Deity, tramples His blood, abhors His words, despises His Cross, and ignores His call. Your place is just to be nothing and let Jesus be everything. Trust Christ alone, never trust yourself at all. Rely on the Spirit of God, never rely on anything that comes from yourself. Your soul will only be safe when your entire dependence is on Christ’s blood and righteousness. Only trust in God's Blood. “The moment a real sinner believes, and trusts only in the Crucified God, A royal divine pardon at once he receives, and Free Salvation in full through God’s Blood.”

** Make Christ your only dependence and never trust in anything else at all.
** Make God and His glory your only object in life.
** Have no care but to please God. Be careful for nothing except to honor the Lord Jesus Christ.
** Make God the Holy Ghost your only guide and confidence.
** Seek the LORD, and make Him your protection in times of daily need and danger.

See Psa 25:5, 59:9; 62:1,5; 69:3; Isa 30:18; Isa 64:4; Jer 14:22; Hos 12:6; Micah 7:7; II Thess 3:5; Gen 49:18; Psa 27:14; 33:20; 37:7,9,34; 39:7; 40:1; 123:2; 130:5-6; Prov 20:22; Isa 8:17; 33:2; 40:31; Lam 3:25-26; Zeph 3:8; Luke 12:36; I Cor 1:7

After you are born again of the Spirit, if you would keep from sin, draw nigh to God, seek always the fresh communion of the Holy Spirit, never trust yourself a single day. Never trust yourself, look to God for new grace every day.
