The Deadly Deficit

Americans are more worried about our nation's financial deficit, than their own deadly sin deficit with God.  You're in over your head in sin debt with your Maker.  The debt clock for your soul is climbing higher and higher each day, it's off the charts sinner friend.  Only Jesus Himself can take away the deadly deficit of sin which you have piled up over the years.  Sin numbs the mind, deadens the conscience, blinds the souls, and distracts men away from Jesus Christ.

Jesus bore your sins in His own body and suffered the full weight of God's wrath, vengeance and punishment that is due to all your sins.  Jesus gave up all His rights, for sinners who have no rights.  Jesus gave up His right to live and reign like God, and He became a human being; He gave up His right to live and died for your sins. The blood of Christ is the only means of you escaping your sin debt and the fury of an offended God.  You cannot deal with your sin problem any other way, you'll never be able to reach heaven's golden shore by any other route.

What you have done with Jesus Christ?  Received Him or rejected Him?  Trusted Him or neglected Him?  Plunge your sinful soul into Jesus' atoning blood by a simple act of trusting to Him.  Rely on the Bleeding Savior God, the great Advocate for sinners. You have expended a great deal of time, energy and money to gratify your evil desires and habits.  Your Sins will only lead to despair, darkness, death, doom, and damnation.  The way to Hell is downhill, but it isn't smooth: the way of transgressors is hard.  Sinners labor because sin and guilt is a heavy burden.  Sinner weary themselves for vanity and folly.  The lustful man plans and toils for sinful pleasure.  The proud man toils for honor.  The miser wearies himself for another buck or two.  The worldly man labors for a title or position. The greedy man exhausts himself to get another man's wealth.  The yoke of Jesus is easy; the yoke of Satan and sin is hard.

Christ's bleeding love is forever, He will never leave you nor forsake you, He keeps His promises forever. Go now to the Cross, fall down at Jesus' feet, trust to Him, take sudden determined action to avoid hell fire and the wrath to come. Full and free forgiveness of sins is available now at Calvary.  Guilty blood is flowing through your veins, innocent blood flowed through Jesus' veins.  Innocent blood was shed for you by the pure Victim of Calvary.  Jesus was absolutely sinless, He was thoroughly pure inwardly and outwardly, He was God in human form.  My only hope of Heaven is the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God.

God was made flesh, crucified for sinners, buried for three days, risen from the dead, and now whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  You're going to get what you deserve if you don't watch it.  Plead Jesus' precious name and blood,  and He will take away your transgressions forever.  The Savior came from heaven to earth to die for His enemies.   Your damnable sins can only be forgiven by Jesus.  Come now directly to the blood of Jesus by childlike faith. The Gospel is perfectly plain to the guilty soul.  Christ is All - rest your weary soul on Him.

What is the way for a sinner to come to Christ?  It is simply this - the sinner feeling his need of the Savior, and then he trusts his soul with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Coming to Jesus is a simple reliance upon Him, and what He has done for sinners.  If you aware of your guilt and danger, rely upon the atoning blood of Jesus.  No works or preparations are demanded of you, a childlike penitent faith is the royal road to Jesus. Jesus is the Creator Savior God who bled for sinners. Your soul needs to come in contact with His Precious Blood by simple faith and trust.

You are to heartily believe on Christ:  First, Believe Him, that is, be convinced that what He says is true, and then Believe on Him, that is, depend upon what He has done on the Cross, and on who He is - God manifest in the flesh.  Jesus will make His words good to you.  Buckle Jesus on as your life preserver, and you can never sink into Hell.  Put all your eggs into Jesus' basket; put all your treasures onto His ship.  Confide all your future and fate to Jesus.  I have no righteousness or merit of my own; I have only Christ Himself to trust to, and I want no more; He is my only hope of escaping the Hell I deserve.

Substitution saves sinners - this is the essential point of Gospel truth.  This is the way of Salvation according to the Scriptures.  Christ died in the sinner's place, He was punished with the sinner's punishment and bore all the wrath of God due to our sins.  Be wise - place your desperate case in the hands of Christ, confess your guilt, plead the Blood of Jesus, trust only the Atonement of the Great Substitute for sinners. Christ Jesus came into the world to be the Sin-Bearer for sinners.  God provided a sin-offering for sinners in Jesus of Nazareth.  Jesus is the Great Substitute that suffered in your place.  He loved you, and gave Himself for you.

God's great plan of Salvation is this - Divine justice could not overlook sin, and all sin must be punished, so Jesus Christ came into the world and took all human sin upon Himself, and suffered what is due to us on our behalf. Tell everyone you can this soul-saving message. The moment you trust the Lord Jesus Christ with your soul, your sins are all on Him, you are clear forever, pardoned freely, accepted before God for Jesus' sake, and made nigh by the Blood of Christ. Jesus Christ is the God-man whose sinless atoning cross-work is sufficient to pay for all your sins against God.  Believe now on the sin-pardoning God, Christ Jesus. To believe means to trust Jesus Himself, trust His suffering, trust His Blood Atonement, rely upon Him alone for all your Salvation.  The Gospel boggles the superstitious, self-righteous carnal mind.

Jesus is the Great Savior - He is mighty to save.  Jesus' blood paid for all human sin, He was smitten for the guilty, He was punished for the ungodly, He vindicated God's law, and answered to divine justice for all of us.  All the righteousness you need is Christ's Righteousness.  Away with your works, boastings, strivings, improvements, resolutions, and religious doings, for they are all things of nought, filthy rags and dung in God's sight.  Sinners that believe in Jesus are eternally free from the Law's penalty and curse.  God spared not His Son, but He spares guilty sinners.  God emptied out His wrath upon His Son and made Him to be Sin for us.  God lavishes His love upon the guilty who deserved His anger.

You cannot help save yourself.  All your efforts of self-salvation are futile.  Surrender and submit to Jesus, have done with self, and receive Christ now.  Come and lay your guilty soul down at Jesus' feet and plead for mercy through His blood.  You have broken God's Law and rejected Jesus Christ.  You are guilty as sin and condemned already.  God must punish your sins, His eternal divine justice demands it, but Christ Jesus came into the world to seek and save lost sinners and provide perfect Atonement by which human sin can be freely and justly forgiven.

The matchless plan of Salvation is this - Christ took human sin upon Himself and suffered for it, He bled and died in the sinner's place, and for us to have nothing to do but just to receive what Christ has done, and to trust our soul wholly with Him.  If you reject Christ, you deserve to be damned, and so you must.

Simply let your confidence be fixed alone upon what Jesus suffered for sinners upon the cross of Calvary.  The great object of the gospel of Christ is create sinful men anew in Christ Jesus.  Down with everything else, and up with the Cross of Christ.  Mercy is only provided to sinners at Calvary - The Incarnate God laid down His life for sinners there. The door of Mercy is wide open today. *John 10:9* Your outward religiousness is just a vain show that will only damn you.  Close with Jesus, lay hold on Eternal Life. Eternal Life is a Person, His name is JESUS.  Find eternal life in the Blood of Jesus Christ by calling upon His name. Whosoever believes on Jesus is perfectly and eternally forgiven.  God help you to trust your soul to Jesus Christ today.
