And That's That

You were born wrong; you're a sinner. Everybody has this problem. And ye must be born again of the Spirit of God (John 3:8). If you're not born again, you will surely die wrong and go to Hell. There's nothing wrong with you that a miracle won't fix. You were born through the sufferings of another (your mother) when you born in the flesh. And you must born again the second time through the sufferings of Another (Jesus Christ). Blood had to be shed to give you physical life, and Blood had to be shed to give you Eternal Life.

The New Birth gives you new Activity (pleasing and serving your Creator), New Appetite (for the Bible, prayer, souls), and New Awareness (of your sins, the devil, the Holy Spirit, Eternity). The guilt of sin brings the need of Atonement. The greatest spiritual want of a sinner is the free pardon of his sin by simple faith in the Blood Atonement of Christ. God Himself in the person of Jesus Christ provided the Atonement by freely and fully giving up Himself to suffer the consequences of human sin. The blood of Jesus Christ is the life of the Gospel. You must Return to God by the way of Calvary's Cross - Behold the Lamb of God!

There is no other way on earth to Heaven but through the shed blood of Jesus Christ - God manifest in the flesh. Men have invented whole religions and theories (darwinian evolution) to prevent coming to Jesus Christ for free salvation, and so they can continue on in their dirty thoughts and godless ways. Human nature would rather try to work its way to heaven and end up going to Hell, than trusting the Man who died for them. For God, even God only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men. The Lord God will render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart He knows. The Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of all your thoughts. The Lord searches the heart, He tries the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Your secret sins are in the light of God's countenance. God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. God knows the secrets of the heart. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to the Gospel. That's what troubles the sinner's conscience. The only way you can avoid hitting the Judgment and suffering eternal damnation for your sins against your Maker is to trust and receive the Sin-Bearer, Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, the one Person who paid for your sins, so you wouldn't have to pay for them. Trust in what Jesus did for sinners on the Cross, and in that alone.

Evolution is a pipe dream for grown ups, it was dreamed up to give those folks who love sin some fig leaves to hide behind here on earth. Time is of the essence, your immortal soul is on the line, your days are numbered, and you know not what a day may bring forth. The beginning of wisdom is to Fear God.  If you reject the Way (John 14:6) that God gave you to stay out of Hell, because of your bitter pride and love for immorality, you'll wind up in a Lake of Fire. The Incarnate God's Sinless Blood Atonement is the sinner's Salvation. Simple faith in Christ's Redemptive Finished Work is the only way to get rid of your guilt.

Getting saved from the love of sin will make "sinning" after conversion very complicated. You will grow more and more troubled over sins that never bothered you before. You will begin to feel your slightest sins and your bent to sinning. Make no excuses for your sins. After the New Birth, you will begin to worry about and detest your sinning. The unregenerate sinner worries about everything but his sins and the salvation of his soul. Deal with your sins - You need to clean house. Ask God daily to give you a passion for private and public purity. Bridle your tongue, help and serve those who cannot pay you back, look to other's needs. Humility with your tongue, compassion with your resources, and purity with your life - demonstrate the Gospel of grace. Surrender to the Holy Spirit's control. Ask Jesus Christ to change the way you think everyday. And that's that.
