*Hath Life*

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him (John 3:36). Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life (John 5:24). Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on *ME* hath everlasting life (John 6:47). Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day (John 6:54). And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life (I John 2:25). And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life (I John 5:11-12). And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (I John 5:20).

You have had many mercies in this life, your Creator has been in them all. The air you breathe, the food you eat, the clothes that are on your back, the home you live and sleep in, your friends and family that help you, God's mercies have preserved you to this very day. This same good God you hate for some insane reason. Cursed is the man that hungers and thirsts after unrighteousness. Your very consciousness of your sins daily proves that you are guilty before God.

Hell bent, Christ rejecting, Gospel hating, Holy Ghost resisting sinners will inevitably end up in hell and lose their soul if they are not careful. Without Christ you are in extreme danger and currently exposed to the wrath of God. Your sins have greatly offended your Maker. Your wicked thoughts and habits control you. Every one of your sins must be punished. You definitely need a Substitute to take your sins' due punishment. Your sins will soon carry you down to Hell. But now, you are simply invited to come to Jesus Christ just as you are and find mercy with God through Christ's sinless blood Atonement. Only HIS BLOOD can save you from the wrath to come.

Hungry mouths and thirsty lips are always welcome at the feet of Jesus. Don't go on in your sins any longer. The greater damnation is reserved for impenitent men who hear the truth of the Gospel, willfully reject it, and remain lost and continue to love their sins. Look to the eternal needs of your soul. The more afraid of yourself you are the better. Your first object in this life should be your soul's salvation. Sin-distracted soul, you are asked to do nothing or be nothing. Cease from self, begin in Christ. Leave off trusting in your doing, come and trust in the man Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5-6) who did it all for your sinful soul. Depend on nothing but what Christ has done for your soul. Cast your soul's confidence on Christ's Blood and Merits, and you are now eternally and freely forgiven for Jesus' sake. Hang all your salvation on Christ's Finished Work.

Repent and be converted in the name of Jesus Christ. Cast the whole burden of your sins, doubts, fears, and anxieties wholly on HIM. To live in Christ, you must first die to yourself. Flee to Christ Himself for refuge. He will not reject you. Put your dark doubts away. Stop resting your soul on chances and darwinism. Christ is able to save any sinner, especially poor rebels; doubt Him not. Come on to Jesus; all sinners far and wide are welcome at the Cross today: have mercy on your poor lost soul, God help you to come to the Lamb of God for free forgiveness of sins and rest on the Rock of His eternal love and blood. You are teetering on the brink of the grave and Eternity. It must be mercy, great mercy, that must save your sinful soul. Trust only in the sinner's Substitute - yield yourself to Him, trust to His finished work alone, and life eternal is yours. Trust to Jesus for the free and eternal salvation only He can give. Fix all your confidence and reliance on HIM who was crucified and raised from the dead to save sinners. Plead only the merits of Jesus' precious blood. Your human effort will land you in hell. Never lose your simple trust in the Crucified Creator, only by the blood of the Lamb can you overcome the power of sin. Rely alone on Jesus Christ now.

The opportunity to be saved from sin is knocking at your door. You will *never* be CONTENT until you seek and find the living Savior. If you want to go to Heaven, trust Jesus Christ's shed blood; if you want to go to Hell, just trust something else, anything else, it doesn't matter, one road to Hell is just as good as another. Never depend on yourself or darwin. None of your works are required, no preparations, no self-righteousness, no doings of yours are needed. Your first business is to trust in Christ Himself. Cast aside all your doings, and depend simply, wholly, and entirely upon Christ's doings and dying and resurrection. Your merits are good for nothing, you can get no benefit by them. Your own works are useless, they reek in the nostrils of a holy God. Your sinfulness is your only claim to salvation. Acknowledge yourself to be a lost sinner, and Christ will save you. You must be saved simply and freely by divine Charity and heavenly Mercy. Simply accept free pardon of sin through His wounds and stripes. Give up your evil practices, abhor your own righteousness. You must simply depend on nothing but the Precious Blood of Christ. He that believeth on the Son of God hath everlasting life. Seek Christ, plead His Precious Blood.
