Your Sins, Your Soul 5

Leave your soul confidently in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh.  The life of God must be infused into your soul by the Holy Spirit by faith in Christ Jesus' Precious Blood.  Give earnest heed to the Gospel.  Your soul's salvation is of extreme importance.  Play not with your immortal soul, don't be careless and thoughtless concerning the realities of Eternity.  Seek Christ Jesus and trust to His Atoning Blood from your inmost heart and soul.  Human nature attempts in its own strength to achieve divine results.  Childlike helpless dependence upon Jesus Himself is key.  You are doing your soul serious mischief by neglecting Christ.  A simple trust in Jesus' Blood will secure for you a happy and safe immortality.  Trust to the Son of God, the Great Sin Forgiver. *Luke 5:23-24*

Your soul shall outlast the stars.  Be not rebellious, don't die in your sins and try to face God in your own righteousness.  You need God's Righteousness, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  *Romans 10:3-4*  Stop ignoring and slighting Jesus Christ.  You need Salvation (divine deliverance) from the love of sin here in time and from Hell Fire out in Eternity.  By nature, you are shut up in the iron cage of sin, and only Christ can set you free from that cage.  This should be the sole object of your soul.  Make the crucified and risen Savior your soul's Restingplace.  Only the Blood of Christ can exterminate the sins in your life.  Sin can only be put away by an act of God's divine grace.  If you will trust to Christ's Blood alone, you are saved.  You can only be forgiven for Christ's sake.

When you trust to Christ's Finished Work, nothing can be laid to your soul's charge, and you are eternally forgiven.  Before God, your sins are laid on and punished on Christ, and your soul is eternally clear in the sight of God.  You are accepted before God for Christ's sake.  Your soul is made nigh by the Blood of Christ.  Nothing else but Jesus' Blood can end your guilt.  Leave all your sins with Jesus.  There is no Savior for your soul but the Lamb of God.  Come now, let us reason together, saith the LORD.  The divine Law is satisfied by Christ's Cross-Work.  Your sins are not too great for God's mercy.  Without Christ's Atoning Blood, your sins are unpardonable.

Either Christ must bear your sins for you, or your soul must bear them forever.  If you are troubled about your sins, come now to the Cross by faith.  Be done with all ideas of helping save your soul from sin.  Be willing to let Jesus have all the glory for putting your sins away.  Give up confidence in everything but Jesus Christ Himself.  Rely heartily upon Christ's Blood and Righteousness.  Run to the Savior for His Mercy now. Your sinful nature has polluted any so-called good deeds you have done in the past; there is absolutely no real Good in any of us, for we are all sinners.  There is none good but one, that is, God.  The Gospel is very humbling and the strait gate is not high enough for your head, and human nature doesn't like stooping.  Human nature doesn't like bowing before the Savior.  Fold the flag of sin.

Lean not upon thine own understanding.  Human nature wants freedom from Christ, and a wisdom apart from God.  The Wisdom from above is first pure.  Human nature remains unfulfilled and always searching, hopeless for it seeks not the Hope, Christ Jesus.  The carnal mind is ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth.  Never trust your heart, for it will deceive you. *Jeremiah 17:9* You can't go wrong trusting the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, with your immortal soul.
