A Little Help 6

Just set all of your confidence on Christ Jesus the Lord.  Calm reliance upon God's promises is the way of peace.  Faith is simply leaning, depending, relying on the risen Savior.  As a key hangs on a nail, so hangs my soul on Jesus. Always trust Jesus to overcome the evil within you, that you have to fight with on a daily basis.  Faith is the giving up of self-confidence and self-dependence, and the resting of the soul upon the Crucified Creator.  Place implicit reliance upon the Christ of God.

Faith is a self-denying grace of the Holy Spirit, and never dares to boast.  The infinite merit of the atoning Sacrifice of the Son of the God is my only trust.  Whosoever believeth in Jesus is fully and eternally forgiven. The great Atoning Sacrifice of Christ must be your sole reliance.  The Atoning Sacrifice gives the guilty conscience rest.  Lord Jesus, please cleanse me from all my sins through your atoning blood.  Penitence and hearty faith in the Precious Blood.  Your inward sinfulness is much too heinous for religiousness to help put it away.

The Savior's everlasting love, the Incarnate God's finished work, the risen Lord, His coming glory.  All of your best works have a rotten foundation called self-righteousness.  Abound in good works, but never trust them at all.  Vanity leads to vexation of spirit.  True, real reliance in the real sinner's Savior.  Freely take what God gives through the Lord Jesus Christ.  Humbly and simply preach Christ Crucified.  Get away from self to Christ.  Take Christ Jesus, the Water of Life, into your thirsty soul as a thirsty man takes cold water into his body. *Proverbs 25:25*   

Nothing will do but the blood of the Crucified Redeemer.  Fix your entire reliance upon the Substitute who loved, lived, died, and rose from the dead for sinners.  It is most wise to place all your trust in Immanuel's Blood.  We are only pointers to Jesus, it is to Christ you must go, go to Him directly, seek from Him free pardon, eternal redemption, change of heart, and a new life.  Only the Holy Spirit can lead you to Jesus Christ.  The remission of sins by the grace of God through faith in the atoning blood.  Free pardon by virtue of His own blood.

The remission of sins (the canceling of your sin debt) is available now to all sinners at Calvary's Cross.  God be merciful to me the sinner.  Always coming, always trusting, always looking to the Son of God.  True trust in Christ leads to an open confession and following of Him.  Firm faith in the forgiving love of Christ Jesus.  Through Jesus' Blood we fight against the corruption within us and the temptation without us.  Tell out the Gospel in a simple way.  Christ's Finished Work must save your soul, not any of your own efforts. 

Your sins can only be put away by the merit and blood of Jesus Christ.  Every man by nature kicks against simply trusting in Christ.  The divine method of Mercy is a vital surrender of your own will to Christ Jesus.  Faith simply trusts the free mercy of God in Christ.  Bible faith is a simple, humble reliance upon Jesus' Blood, an entire reliance upon an entire Savior.  Nothing but the wounds and blood of Jesus could every satisfy God's divine justice.  It is safest to trust to this - the merit of Christ, what Christ is, what Christ has done, and what Christ has suffered.  

The mercy of God is only found at Calvary.  Jesus took your sins upon Himself, He became the sinner's Substitute, and was made a Curse for you.  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.  Trust to Him quietly, humbly, simply, and immediately.  Because of His blood, I'm 100% saved and sure.  Come to Christ and live at once.  JEHOVAH will only accept you at the Cross for Jesus' sake.  Mercy's door is wide open still.  Just as you are, come along to the Cross, never try to cleanse or mend yourself.  Come to the Cross, and put out your empty hand.  Accept what Jesus gives, and everlasting salvation is yours.  Tell the Gospel story simply, as one child talks to another.  Helplessly depend upon Jesus.  If you are guilty and ungodly, trust to Jesus now to pardon you freely.  

The only way to Repent is with your eye upon the Sacrifice of Calvary.  View the flowing of the sin-atoning blood, gaze upon the Redeemer's wounds.  Cast yourself upon Jesus' Blood and Righteousness, become His disciple, follow Him, and by the Holy Spirit's help follow in His footsteps.  Simply and wholly lean upon the bare arm of God.  Christ for me.  Christ died so that you may not die. Keep simply to His words.  Sin will only injure and ruin you.  Simply put out the plain truth.  Jesus has accomplished all the atoning work - remember His victorious cry from Calvary - It is Finished!  The blood-sprinkled way is the only way a sinner can come to God.  Trust your immortal soul to Jesus' care. 

My plea will always be the Lamb slain for sinners.  Unfeignedly repent of sin, ask God to change your mind totally concerning sin, that is, the giving up and forsaking of sinful thoughts and habits.  Sins forgiven, nature changed, new creature in Christ Jesus.  You have no good works, Salvation is not of your doings at all.  Nothing you can do can ever earn you God's Mercy.  God is only merciful to sinners for Jesus' sake.  Atonement by Blood is the Gospel.
