Saving Faith 3

There is no good thing in you, just face it. A real sinner conscious of his guilt will seek and trust the Savior. If you are conscious of your total ruined state because of your sinning, believe in the divine Remedy for your sins - place real faith in the Blood of Jesus. Childlike reliance upon the Most High, the faithful Creator - JESUS. Trust, lean on, and enjoy Christ Jesus. Coming is trusting. *Matthew 11:28* The Savior's Precious Blood has made my peace with God. Trust your soul with Jesus, and He will save it here and now. Place all your confidence in the Crucified Creator. A look to Christ Crucified will immediately save your soul. Judgment day is coming, flee from the wrath to come at Calvary. Guilty sinners are liable for the punishment due to their sins and stand bare before a holy God. *Revelation 20:10-15*

There is one God, one Savior, one sinful mankind, and one Judgment. Life's most absolute certainty is death. You must face the holy Judge. Just who do you think you are? You're just a sinner like all the rest of us. Jesus wasn't a sinner, He was absolutely sinless. I really need the Gospel, for I am a guilty sinner. Human nature always makes excuses for sin. The omniscient Judge of all the earth - He knows all the facts, motives, and secrets. The omnipotent, omnipresent Judge - He sees everything. Repentance is a renewing of the mind by the Holy Spirit, a turning of the mind towards God. Repentance is a sense of sin, a turning from sin, an abhorrence of sin. Repentance is the gift of Jesus, the beginning of new life. Receive Christ into yourself. *John 1:12* I am a sinner in desperate need of the mercy and grace of God. A pardon which is refused is no longer a pardon. Sin is a hideous evil, and you are actually and personally guilty of it. Jesus is alive forever more, He will save whosoever trusts to His Blood.

You're not a god, but you will stand before God and give account to Him. Remember there is a God, and you're not Him. The personal Creator God is holy and just, yet merciful and gracious to sinners. You are accountable to God for how you have lived and wasted your life in sinning. You are accountable to the Creator God who made you and died for you. Every darwinist is in a hopeless muddle because he loves his sins. From the heart, in the sincerity of your soul, acknowledge your meanness and unworthiness, vileness, sinfulness, wretchedness, and then implore the grace and mercy of God through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Let's rehearse the Gospel again - You have broken God's law, and rejected God's Son, and you are lost in your sins, and under the sin, the law, the wrath of God. The only way you can obtain the forgiveness of all your sins is through the Blood and merits of Jesus Christ, and He will freely forgive you if you simply come and confess your sins, and take Him to be your all in all. If you trust Jesus, He must save you. Jesus died to make Atonement for human sin.

True conversion, sincere repentance, saving faith, new birth, living hope, real sanctification. Childlike faith, hearty holiness, simple confidence, childlike trust to Jesus. Trust your life and soul into the hands of Jesus Christ. Obey the Bible freely, heartily, constantly. Jesus will receive you graciously and love you freely. The prayer of faith with sincere obedience behind it. Preach Christ Crucified - His Deity, manhood, sacrificial bloody death, resurrection, everything about Him.

The words of this life - Acts 5:20. Atonement, Precious Blood, Propitiation - the satisfaction made by Christ for human sin. Real Substitution - The Just for the unjust; Christ died for the ungodly. Resurrection - Him hath God raised from the dead. Regeneration - Ye must be born again - the New Birth. Faith in Jesus Himself is needful. *Ephesians 2:8-9* Justification by Faith, Indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost comes into the heart, He abides there, He works sanctification within, He produces holiness without. The gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord. God's Salvation is by free grace, and free grace alone. You must be quickened by the working of the Holy Spirit. The free forgiveness of sins is completely by the Blood. Witness for Jesus every opportunity you get. Practical obedience in your daily activities. Be reasonable, practical, and sensible in your Christian walk.

Come to God by Jesus Christ now, plead the Precious Blood of His Atonement. Jesus made full Atonement for human sin, and now whosoever believeth in Him hath Everlasting Life, and shall never come into condemnation. The old, old story of Jesus and His love is a very simple story. Keep to the old Gospel - plain old Christianity where Jesus is everything, and where every man is a sinner in need of the Savior. Stick to this. Keep to this work. Never lose faith in the Gospel. The world's philosophies and quackeries can't take away sin. Christ Crucified is the only remedy for sin. Whosoever believeth in Jesus hath everlasting life. *Acts 4:12* Christ's Precious Blood cleanses from all sin. *I John 1:7*

Come to Jesus now by holy trust and feed on His Blood, Righteousness and Atonement. The only way of salvation is by Blood, Innocent Blood, Precious Blood, Atoning Blood, God's Blood. *Acts 20:28* Faith is coming to Christ and simply believe on His Atonement. The essence of Faith is casting yourself on God's promise. Make His Atonement your trust, refuge, and hope. Boundless love, immeasurable goodness, infinite mercy. Atonement is the unaided work of Jesus. Worship God through the Mediator placing faith in the Atonement of the Cross. Humble prayer, hearty praise. Meekly cast yourself on the mercy of God, look for acceptance only through the Atonement of the Lamb of God.

The Blood of Christ is the only salvation from sin, the only means of pardon from our guilt. The Holy Spirit is the only Regenerator, the only converting power comes from the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Christ. Faith in Christ's finished work is the only way of salvation. If you know your guilt, flee to Christ. He is the only hope for sinners. Put your entire trust in the bloody sacrifice which He offered for sinners. Cast yourself entirely on the sinless sacrifice by Blood. You are condemned already, you can never be saved by your own works, you are utterly condemned by your own sins. Sincerely repent, hate your sins, and love the Savior. For Atonement, come to Christ, find mercy only through His Atonement. The Atonement is all finished, the price and ransom is paid, the Sacrifice is accepted. Do not try to add your own righteousness to the finished Atonement of Jesus Christ.

My faith is fixed on His perfect Righteousness and complete Atonement. The only Gospel is looking to Christ. True faith lays hold on the precious Atonement of Christ. None but Jesus can save your sinful soul. Trust in Him, not yourself. Repose in His Atonement, confide is His finished work, hide in the Atoning Blood. Strive to live a clean life in the power of the Spirit of God resting on the Atonement of Christ. Reconciliation by the Precious Blood. The Gospel of Atonement is very simple.

Substitution of Christ in the place of the sinner, Christ being treated as if He were the sinner, and then the transgressor being treated as is he were the Righteous one. Substitution is a change of persons. Christ becomes sin, He stands in the sinner's place and is numbered with the transgressors. Christ had no sin of His own, but He took my sins and guilt upon Himself, and was punished for my human folly. I have no righteousness of my own, so I take His divine Righteousness. I am rewarded for His goodness, and stand accepted before God through Christ's Righteousness that was worked out by Himself.

There is an Atonement made for human sin - tell out the story to every one you can. I trust in Jesus alone to save me. Salvation needs a sinner, the Precious Blood needs a filthy wretch, the Atonement needs a guilty rebel. Acknowledge you can do nothing without Christ. Submit to God's providence. Own your dependence on His grace, ascribing all you have and are to God's mercy in Christ. Go straight to Jesus for everything you need. Your highest wisdom is to call upon Jesus' name. Choose your words with wisdom, for your words have no eraser. *Matthew 12:36* *Proverbs 15:2* Take aim at purity of heart, and then peace of mind will come. Lord Jesus, help me to hate my sins more and more, and to love You more and more.
