The Main Point

This is the Main Point - You must be saved from loving the sins which now charm and control you. You must be delivered from finding pleasure in the ungodliness which now controls you, and you must be redeemed from the indulgence of evil passions which now reigns over your mind and soul and body.  Christ Jesus Himself is your only Hope of being saved from the damning power of your sins.

The fashion of this world passeth away (I Cor 7:31). The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever (I John 2:17). The multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. You are but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

All men by nature are lovers of sinful pleasures, not lovers of God. They are all foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. The cares and pleasures of this life decoy the sinner away from eternal realities. Your personal sins provoke and vex God. Part with your sins at once, for if you continue to indulge in them, they will surely damn you. Don't remain the servant of Satan, stop practicing dishonesty, living in pride, and reveling in your secret sins. You cannot continue to sin with impunity, Divine Justice must be served to every Christ rejector. The reason any sinner winds up in the lake of fire is because he is simply unwilling to yield and believe on Jesus Christ. They refuse to be changed within by surrendering to the Scriptures, because they love sin. The Message of the Cross is not Salvation in sin, but Salvation from sin, not a license to sin, but a deliverance from the dominion and habits of sin. Your love of sin must be slain.

Mark it down - All Christ rejecting sinners hate God and love sin - that is their root problem. But the pleasures of sin are only for a season, and a very short one; sin is addictive and damning, and at the last it will bring every sinner to Eternal ruin and destruction. You must be willing to give up any and every sin of yours for Christ's sake. It is at the price of your soul that you reject Christ. But you will sooner be damned than have Christ as your Savior. Foolish sinners have a mad hatred for God when they show despite to Jesus and destroy their own soul. They had rather bear their sins and face eternal death than have Christ Jesus as their Savior.

You will soon destroy yourself if you go on in your sins. The Cross of Christ is the death-blow to human sin, that is why every a sinner hates the Cross with a passion. Be willing to be saved from sin God's way (John 14:6). Simply believe in Jesus to be saved from the dominion of your evil. There is perfect pardon to be had by the vilest sinner; immediate and irreversible pardon is freely given to the ungodly through God’s infinite mercy and free grace for Jesus' sake. God is ready to forgive the vilest sinner alive. The Lord Jesus Christ is both willing and able to redeem you. Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Life doesn't mean anything without the Lord Jesus Christ. Trust only in the Atoning sacrifice of Christ, and renounce your sinful thoughts and habits. This is the main point - Trust and love Christ, and give up and hate your sins.
