The #1 Hell Populator

External human religion is the #1 Hell-populator in this world today. Outward natural religion can never take away human sin. Human nature loves the fig leaves of outward religion. Natural religion is obsessed with rules and do's and don'ts. But you're a real sinner, and you need a real Savior who loved you and died in your place. Only Christ's Righteousness can cover your naked soul at the White Throne Judgment. A woman may have many debts, but as soon as she is married, her debts cease to be hers, all her debts become her husband's at once. All your sin debts can taken off your soul and become Christ's when you simply trust in His shed blood to take away my sins. Jesus has paid for every one of your sins, and you can have peace with God only because of Jesus' finished work on Calvary's Cross. You have been busying yourself with irrelevant affairs. Jesus Christ must be in your heart - He must know you personally - this is the main business. External religious show and formalism has no answer or cure for your past sins, no victory for the present, and no hope for the future.

Men are afraid to face their conscience, their sins, and their future in eternity, because their conscience tells them that their future is very drear and gloomy. Silly worldling, vain pretender, spurious professor, your plastic religion is only a vain show. Engage in warfare with your sins, Satan, error, and falsehood beneath the Cross of Jesus. Religion will make you very busy and zealous, but your carnal working without trusting in Christ alone is deadly and damnable. Whosoever trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ with his whole heart has the hope and promise of eternal life immediately. God, the holy and just One, must punish your sins, therefore He must must punish you, but Jesus Christ became a man, He stood and suffered in the sinner's place, and now whosoever trusts in HIM shall not suffer the wrath of God, because God punished Christ instead of the sinner.

Trusting in Jesus gives glory to God, and it brings an eternal blessing to your soul. Instead of trusting Christ, human nature wants to bring self-sacrifice to God - this is the way of Cain. Carnal men prefer their own self-righteousness to the Perfect Righteousness of God (Christ Jesus Himself). Self-righteous men suppose that their own way of salvation is better than what the Almighty has devised, therefore they proudly offer up their human works to God, instead of trusting in Christ's sinless works and blood. You need inward substance, not outward vanity. Washing the windows of a house doesn't make the people that live inside any cleaner. Men are always setting up new ways of salvation of their own, and they will go anywhere rather than coming to the Cross where Jesus died for ungodly sinners. Nothing but the blood of Jesus can quench the love of sin in your mind and heart. Christ's love and blood can put down your evil tendencies to sin against God. Human nature says, "What? do you think I am some sort of filthy wretch that needs cleansing. Maybe the harlot or the drunkard or the dope addict needs Jesus' blood, but not me, I am better than most, and if I don't make it heaven, nobody will. Wash in Jesus' blood? that is too simple a thing. There must be something commendable in my human merit. Simply believing in Christ, that is such an easy thing. After all, I am a 'respectable' person, you know, I pay my bills and care for poor. The Gospel may be good for thieves and prostitutes, but I have a great many works of my own, cannot I think of them?"

No you cannot, you must trust in Christ's works alone, think NOTHING of your own best works. A wagon load of your best works is not worth a penny in God's sight. The whole of them are all dung and filthy rags. Believe and live is too easy for a self-righteous man. Trust Christ and you are saved on the spot. It cannot be, you think. You refuse to do the simple thing - Believe (that is, trust in Christ alone, and not in yourself). You may and go do good works for the rest of your life, but you will never help get one of your sins forgiven.

REPENT! You can never get any credit for your own salvation. Christ must receive all the glory, or you are surely doomed. You shall never have real hope of heaven unless you Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will all your heart. You must simply eat the Bread of Life freely or starve to Death, eternal death. You must simply drink of the Water of Life *freely*, or die of thirst. You must simply wash in the Savior's blood or perish a filthy and guilty sinner. You must simply Believe with your soul, or die in your sins. Without Christ as your personal Savior, you will eternally die in your hunger, in your thirst, in your sins. Human nature says, "No! there must be some other way, I will drink elsewhere, I will quench my own thirst, some other way, I will have nothing to do with this free salvation, that is just too good to be true." O vain man - remember - you must drink freely, or die eternally. Human nature kicks at the gospel and says, "No! drinking is too simple, I will try the hard way." But it is the law of nature, and the law of the Gospel - you must drink or die.  Christ Himself is the water of life. Vain religion will never quench your spirit's thirst deep within. Stop playing the fool with your life. There is only One Way for your soul's thirst to be quenched - you must trust what Christ has done for you on Calvary's Cross with all your heart ,or you shall die eternally. There is nothing hard in the Gospel. Your Maker became a Jewish man; He lived, loved, suffered, bled, died, and rose from the dead for your human iniquities. You take Him, He'll take you; but if you Reject Him, He will reject you.

The most important word in the entire King James Bible is "THE".  Let me prove that.  In John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am *THE* way, *THE* truth, and *THE* life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."  Jesus said He is the THE way, not *a* way.  Jesus is the whole way and the only way to Heaven.  Jesus is not *a* Savior, He is *THE* Savior of guilty sinners.  So, that little three letter word *THE* is the most important word in the entire Bible, bar none.  This one syllable word blows all the atheists, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, agnostics, Mohammedans, Mormons, secular humanists, Jehovah Witnesses, and Catholics, out of the water.  

God became a Jewish man, Jesus of Nazareth.  JEHOVAH became incarnate and stooped from the throne of heaven to the manger of Bethlehem's stable.  God was made flesh and bled to death for your human sin.  Jesus came back from the dead and resurrected after being buried three days in the grave.  You must fully rely alone upon Jesus Christ for your salvation from sin.  Implicitly trust the merits of His agonies.  Without any other confidence, cast yourself fully upon the great atoning Sacrifice of Calvary  (the Lamb of God).  Look away from all your other confidences, look to Jesus for pardon now, complete pardon, pardon forever.  Rely upon the sufferings and death of the Incarnate God, who has gone into heaven, who lives today to plead for sinners.  Jesus is the Living Savior.  Trust only in the merits of Christ's blood which He poured out on Calvary for guilty sinners.  Faith, Blood, and Grace are the only things that will kill the love of sin in your heart and mind.  Only the Cross can put your *love of sin* to death.  Repent of your self-righteousness and sins, and come to Jesus Christ for everything.

The Lord Jesus Christ was God Almighty (JEHOVAH) "manifested in the flesh" (I John 4:2; Revelation 1:8; I Timothy 3:16; Mark 14:61-62). Christ Jesus bled for your sins; 2,000 years ago He shed God's blood on Calvary's Cross outside of Jerusalem for you (Acts 20:28; Matthew 27:4; John 19:30). Christ Jesus is the True God and Eternal Life (I John 5:20). The Lord Jesus lived a sinless life (John 8:46; II Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; I Peter 2:22; I John 3:5), and died a sinless death, He shed His spotless and innocent blood for your rotten sins, and He is alive right now, seated at "the right hand of the Father" (Heb 12:2; Psa 110:1; I Timothy 2:5-6). Jesus is the *exclusive* Savior of the world, the One and Only Redeemer.  Salvation is all of grace and pure mercy -Atonement by Blood, reconciliation to God through Christ's substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, eternal redemption by the Incarnate God.
