God's Plan for Pardoning Sinners

This is God’s plan for pardoning sinners; Hear it, believe it, trust to Jesus. You have sinned and offended God your Maker all through your life; and God must punish all sins. All men are lost and condemned already, and there is no difference, for all have sinned. It is a fixed divine law that all sin must be punished. How then can a holy God have mercy upon such a sinner as you? Only in this way: The Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, came from heaven, He took upon Himself our nature, He lived here on earth for 33 years in poverty, obscurity, sorrow and persecution, until at last He was betrayed and killed.

 In Jesus' death He bore the whole burden of human sin; God the Father laid upon Jesus the iniquity of us all, and on Calvary's Cross Jesus suffered what we all ought to have suffered - the wrath of Almighty God. God's justice was inflicted upon Christ because our sin was laid upon Him. God laid the whole weight of His wrath on Jesus for our sake. Jesus suffered and died in the place of ungodly sinners. Jesus Christ suffered what we ought to have suffered, so that God could be Just, and yet at the same time God could be the Justifier and Forgiver of sinners through the merits and shed blood of His dear Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The moment you trust in Christ Jesus alone, all your sin debts are paid for. If you will repent (turn from your sinful way) and simply come and rest upon Jesus, upon Jesus only, God can never punish you for your sins, for God has punished Jesus for them, and it would be unjust for God to punish Christ and then punish you as well for same sin. God will never exact payment first from the Savior and then afterwards from the sinner.

You're a sinner indeed, and you must be redeemed by Blood in Jesus' name. Think much upon the Person of Christ. Only He can free you from your guilt. Cleave to the Savior's person and trust His plan of salvation - Substitution. Christ instead of the sinner. The plan of Salvation through the Righteousness of Jesus Christ is the only way to escape the damnation of Hell. Look to the Incarnate God suffering, bleeding, dying, buried, and risen from the dead. The plan of God's grace is not your deservings, but your undeserving; not your boastings, but your acknowledgement of your misery. Jesus' blood is the only Atonement for human sins. You must be saved God's way, not your way. The humbling plan of Grace is when the sinner is debased and Christ is exalted. The only way to be rid of your sin is through God's blood.

 Christ is the true Physician of lost souls, and His bloody stripes are the only remedy for the love of sin. Simply rest your soul's salvation upon Christ Jesus, the Blessed Son of God. He is the only Savior of lost sinners. Put yourself in the number of ungodly sinners - there is no worthiness in yourself. Your self-righteousness shall be your ruin. Come to the Cross and lay your Sin on Christ by the simple act of dependence upon Him. The only possible way by which a sinner can be forgiven his sin is by that sin being punished in the person of Jesus Christ. This is the only way of putting away human sin: your sin must be laid upon Another, and that Person is made to suffer as if your sin belonged to HIM, and then, since sin cannot be in two places at once, and cannot be laid upon Another and rest upon the sinner too. When the sinner lays his sin on the Substitute, he becomes eternally clear of all his sin. The sinner is completely and freely and eternally pardoned, and the sinner is accepted by God only because His innocent Substitute has been slain instead of him.

Sinner friend, whoever you may be, whatever your past life may have been, if you will trust what Christ Jesus has done for you, you shall be saved from all your sins (past-present-future) in a moment. The whole of your past life shall be remitted immediately, cancelled instantly, erased forever, and blotted out eternally. There shall not remain in God’s book so much as a single charge against your soul, for Christ who died for you, shall take all your guilt away and leave your soul without a single spot or stain before the face of God. It is by simply believing that sinners are born again and enter into the kingdom of God. It is still by trusting in God's Blood that sinful men are saved from the love of sin. Christ died for the ungodly. “Behold the Lamb of God!” Look to the bleeding and risen Lamb, and your soul shall live. Now this day, whosoever will hide himself under the Blood of Jesus shall be free from the vengeance of God's wrath on sin.

He that believeth on Jesus is not condemned. Listen to the voice from the Cross - Look unto Me, Come unto Me, Believe on Me, and you are saved. Reconciliation to God is only by the Blood of Jesus, by the Substitutionary Sinless Sacrifice of Himself for His enemies - this is the message of mercy. Right now, there is full and free forgiveness of your sins through the Blood of Jesus. Mercy, Grace, Pardon, Eternal Life, Heaven are found at the foot of the Cross. Jesus is the Great Substitute for Sin. The Gospel is so simple and suitable to needy sinners. Don't refuse Christ's Blood, forsake your self-righteousness, your sin-loving ways, your rebellious thoughts, and place all your confidence in Christ's Finished Work alone.
