How to Meet Your Maker

Here's how to die and safely meet your Maker:  Be very careful with your immortal soul - if you keep messing around and are clumsy with your precious soul, you will lose it, and you will surely be damned forever. Be wise - fear God - take special care of your soul - you must personally come as a Sinner to Christ Jesus for ALL your salvation. Christ only died for ungodly sinners. You must nullify and trash all your so-called good works - your best deeds are all no good in God's sight.

Eternal damnation is absolutely certain for you if you continue to put any reliance in your self-righteousness. Be wise - prepare to die - die trusting only in Jesus Christ's blood and righteousness with your sins all forgiven. You must die sinless, that is, with your sins on Someone else. Only God through His Son's Blood can remove your sins from your soul and place them on His Son - this is the miracle of God's salvation. Only Christ can take your sins away and bear them for you - but it's not automatic, you must heartily ask Him to save you. You can't supply your own spiritual needs, and no religion can meet your soul's needs.

Christ didn't come to share in your salvation - He came to die and rise again, and be ALL your Salvation. If you put a speck or atom of trust in yourself at all, you have not scriptural Faith.  If you place a particle of reliance upon anything else but what Christ has already finished, you are surely doomed.  If you trust in your works at all, your works are antichrist.  Christ will do all or nothing for you, He must be your whole Savior, or not at all.  Salvation through human merit is the way of Cain, the way of religion, and the way to Hell.  Human merit is rotten and empty.  Human nature naturally clings to human merit.  The foul ditch water of human merit will kill you - don't drink from it at all.  Have done once and for all with human merits, and rest with childlike confidence, helpless dependence, upon the finished work and righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Religion always clings to and exalts human merit.  The Gospel exalts only Christ's merits.  There is a conflict between human merit and Christ's merits.  Satan is tempting and deceiving you into thinking you can help meet your soul's needs, this is a heinous and damning lie.  Jesus Christ, God Himself manifest in the flesh, came to bear all your sins and their full penalty, and provide you a full and free salvation - Jesus paid it all for you on Calvary's Cross.  Plead only the merits of God's Precious Son.  Human merits and human effort will damn your soul to the Lake of Fire. Human merit is a foundation of sand.  Salvation is free gift of divine mercy to guilty sinners, and is never the reward of any human merit.  You are not good at all, and you have no merit, only demerit.  You must either trust in human merit, or Christ's merit - they cannot be mixed.

Life has rules; the rule book is the Holy Bible.  God has rules for your life, and they are fixed.  If you break the rules, you're in trouble.  There is a penalty for breaking God's rules, if you violate His rules, you'll pay the penalty.  Whosoever offends God's Law in one point is guilty of it all.  Your environment or the way you were raised is not the problem; your main problem is your inward sinful nature. Your case is not special. Human nature rebels against the will and providence of God.

You can't blame others for your mistakes and pass the buck to other people.  You're responsible for your sins.  Every one of us shall give account of himself to God. There is no respect of persons with God. The Ten Commandments for the basic rules for living.  The government wants to protect your children from the Holy Bible.  God is very interested in your moral character.  You're not smarter than God, you need His wisdom, lean not to your own understanding.  God knows when you are doing your best.  Jesus died, but He came back from the dead, and He is still alive today and able to save you to the uttermost through faith in His atoning blood.

The Bleeding and Living Savior you slight so thoughtlessly now, will soon say to you on the Eternal Judgment day, "Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels." This is the harrowing truth that you must face. Christ Jesus loved you enough to die for your rotten sins, and if you reject Him, one day soon, you must meet Him face to face, and then, He will point His eternal finger at you, and say, "Get out of My sight, get out and stay out, you're damned, go and burn forever in the Lake of Fire, I never knew you, you rejected Me, I now reject you, get out of here, I never want to see you again, depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire!" God is a consuming fire - prepare to enter His presence at death.

Get it nailed down - Make sure about your soul's eternal safety - don't trust in yourself at all, don't trust anything on this earth at all, look up, trust only to the finished work and righteousness of Jesus Christ. Salvation is not found in any religion or church. Salvation is only found in trusting in a Sinless Person. By grace are ye saved through faith in God's blood, not of human works at all, lest any man should boast in his self. Jesus Christ is alive today, and He is your soul's only Hope of salvation.
