The Real God

You don't need a god you can see - you need the real God who can always see you (Proverbs 15:3). By nature unregenerate man exchanges the truth of God for a lie, and worships created things and not their good and holy Creator. The atheist doesn't know himself, so he can never know his Maker. The atheist's pride keeps him from bowing down to worship the Crucified Creator in humble grateful adoration, with a joyful but tender fear. Atheists adore the wisdom of men, Christians adore the wisdom of God. Only the wounds and blood of Jesus can cure you of the love of sin. 

The main consideration with atheists is, what they shall eat, or what they shall drink, or how they shall be clothed, and they are always watching to see what is the best way to go in reference to temporal matters. The atheist lives for the shadows and bubbles of time. The atheist desires to be his own savior and god - this is Satanic. The atheist fears the moral effect that the word and Gospel of God may have on his immoral soul, he desperately hugs his sins which he has lived in and loved for years. Self-exaltation is the atheist's main object of life, and self-preservation is his main motive.

Come over to the winning side - Believe the simple and wondrous story of the Cross - How that the God of heaven became a man who lived and loved, and then bled and died to save sinners; Christ the Son of God was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead; Jesus of Nazareth is the one and only Messiah. Free grace, eternal dying love, and the free pardon of sin by divine blood is the essence of the Gospel. Jesus was tender and kind, and willing to live and die for others. Why won't you trust your soul with HIM and become absolutely dependent upon His grace? 

If you continue to reject Christ, it is absolutely certain you must perish in the Lake of Fire. Stop listening to Satan's lie - Evolution. The self-made man will never worship and adore His Creator. The Christian adores the Son of God, he reverences and remembers the word of God. The New Birth (John 3:7) is absolutely necessary, and it is absolutely impossible to you, unless the Spirit of God regenerates you. Come to the Cross and find mercy in the Blood of the Redeemer.

The atheist exalts man, but the Christian exalts the God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is absolutely useless to trust your good works to merit your salvation. Your good works are less than useless. If you would be save by works, you must be absolutely perfect, and you know that is impossible, for you are a sinner. Look only to the Great Sin-Bearer who made a full, complete, eternal, and absolutely acceptable Blood Atonement for human sin. Exalt only the merits of Christ Jesus. 

None can forgive sins save the Son of God alone. Resign your soul absolutely into Christ's merciful hands. You must believe the Gospel Medicine to be the only thing that can heal your sinful soul, then you must personally take the Heavenly Medicine, and actually swallow it down into your soul by simple faith and trust in the Crucified and living God - Jesus Christ. Believing only in Christ is the great and main thing. True and hearty repentance of sin is a true token of genuine faith in the Savior.

The main plan is believing on Christ Jesus unto the salvation of your immortal soul. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am a sinner, Lord Jesus, and by faith I lay hold on you, and trust you alone to save me. I know that you bid sin-burdened souls to come to you, and I am a sin-burdened soul; so, Lord, I come, I hang only upon your gracious invitation in Matthew 11:28, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 

The main point is that you receive Jesus Christ, Himself (John 1:12). Humbly ask Christ to give you what you really need - His forgiveness. Faith in Christ is your greatest need beyond everything else. The moment a sinner believes and trusts in the crucified Son of God he is pardoned at once, he receives salvation in full through Christ’s blood.

The presence of God [the Holy Ghost] is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost sinners, and the edification, instruction, growth, and perfecting of believers. The main object of our life should be the winning of Christ to our soul and the winning of other souls to God. Have good and great thoughts of Christ, and you shall find your troubles lessening, and your sins disappearing! The main strength of the Gospel is to GLORY ONLY in the cross of Christ. Human morality is of no account and dangerous. The main and only way to overcome the fear of death is to believe firmly and continually in the Blood of the Crucified and Risen Lord of glory - Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus really, actually, and truly lives today to save sinners to the uttermost.

Think on These Things...

You're not here on earth by chance, but by God's own choosing. You did not invent yourself, you had no part in your own creation. You were intricately made in your mother's womb by the wisdom and mercy of Jesus Christ Himself. The good hand of God formed you to be the person you are. JEHOVAH created you at the exact moment He required, and He placed you in this point in history, so that you could know His Son by Grace through Faith in His shed Blood. And then after you have been born again, you could glorify your Maker and exalt His Son, and in the strength of God's grace you should get up every day and go out and be good, that is, be a blessing to those around you by doing good works heartily as to the Lord, and for Jesus' sake alone. Only God's free grace and can produce true goodness.

On your very best day you are an unprofitable wretch, all of your very best endeavors up against God's holy standard of Perfection, that is, Christ's Righteousness, are only filthy rags and dung. Just humble yourself and face the facts: You are absolutely morally bankrupt and spiritually busted. You have no goodness of your own you could ever appeal to as a means of acceptance with God. That's where God's grace comes in: The Lord God Almighty Himself came to earth in the Person of Jesus of Nazareth (II Corinthians 5:19-21). He obeyed the divine Law in its perfection, He lived a perfectly holy life, He died in the place of lawbreaking sinners, He bore our sins and dealt with all of God's wrath on Calvary's Cross, He shed His innocent blood for His sinful enemies, He secured free and eternal salvation for those who will simply believe on Him. 

Christ Jesus came down to earth in kindness and love to save your sinful, miserable, wretched soul from the hell you deserve. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. This is God's commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment (I John 3:23). Come to Jesus, rely entirely upon His most precious blood and God's grace to save your soul, and then live your life entirely to God's glory.

The Safest Place: *In Him*

IN HIM was life; and the life was the light of men. That whosoever believeth IN HIM should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life. Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified IN HIM. I find IN HIM no fault at all.

Through His name whosoever believeth IN HIM shall receive remission of sins. For IN HIM we live, and move, and have our being. How shall they believe IN HIM of whom they have not heard? IN HIM shall the Gentiles trust. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we IN HIM; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him. For all the promises of God IN HIM are yea, and IN HIM Amen, unto the glory of God by us. For God hath made JESUS to be Sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God IN HIM. For we also are weak IN HIM, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you. According as He hath chosen us IN HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. And be found IN HIM, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. For it pleased the Father that IN HIM should all fulness dwell. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye IN HIM. Rooted and built up IN HIM, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. For IN HIM dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete IN HIM, which is the head of all principality and power.

God is light, and IN HIM is no darkness at all. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are IN HIM. He that saith he abideth IN HIM ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. And now, little children, abide IN HIM; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at his coming. And ye know that Christ Jesus was manifested to take away our sins; and IN HIM is no sin. Whosoever abideth IN HIM sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. Hereby know we that we dwell IN HIM, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit. And this is the confidence that we have IN HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us. 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.

When you get close to Death's door, there's going to be two things you're going to need most:  The Precious Blood of God manifest in the flesh, and the Presence and Comfort of the Holy Ghost. When you are nearing Death's door, you'll find out for sure who your friends are then.  So if you're lost in your sins right now, be wise, and get really familiar with the Precious Blood and Holy Spirit way ahead of time.
