The Eight Golden Words

* Faith In His Blood * Romans 3:25
This is where True Faith Starts and Remains.

* Worthy Is The Lamb * Revelation 5:12
This is where True Faith Grows and is Maintained.

Religion will never tell you this Simple Truth.

Religion always distracts, complicates and frustrates the Gospel of the Grace of God.


The Message of Mercy

Here’s the ‘Message of Mercy’ that’s music in the sinner’s ears. Time is flying by, life is short, death is near, and Eternity is drawing nigh to you. Your life is very frail and could end any day. You've neglected and rejected Christ time and time again; you've sinned against God Himself and violated His divine Law; and your sins deserve God’s divine justice and recompense. The wrath of God abides on you right now (John 3:36), because of your secret and public sins, and your rejection of Christ. God sees the sins of your youth as though they were committed yesterday. God sees your thought-life and imaginations every hour. Your root problem is that you love sin. Christ Jesus Himself, the Prince of Life, made the Ultimate Sacrifice by laying down His life for your sins. Everything you've ever thought, said, or done has been done in the eye sight of God. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of God. The test of your character is how you treat people you don't need and that can't help or repay you. Jesus didn't need us, and we couldn't help or repay Him, but He still sought us and had Mercy on us, for His love and goodness' sake.

Faith in His Blood!

Worthy is The Lamb!

Glorying Only in The Cross!

Boasting Only in The Lord Jesus Christ Himself!

But Thanks be to God, 
which giveth us The Victory 
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He ever Liveth to make intercession for them.

I am a sinner and nothing at all,
but Christ Jesus is my All in All.

Every time you sin, you harden your heart a little more; and the harder your heart becomes, the more difficult it is for God to reach you and for you to respond to God. But God has provided a great Remedy for your sin. It is high time for you to make the wisest decision a sinner can make – Trust implicitly, heartily and simply to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself (His Person and Blood). Your good works are good-for-nothing and meaningless to God; for you cannot help save yourself. Divine Mercy can never be earned by your self-righteousness. All have sinned, and there is not a just man upon the earth that doeth good, and sinneth not. You are a sinner by birth, by nature, by practice, and by choice. You have no hope of forgiveness apart the bloody death, burial, and resurrection of The Lord Jesus Christ. God cannot overlook your sin. If God ceased to judge sin, He would cease to be Holy and Just. God cannot let one sin of yours go unpunished. Your sin will either be pardoned by Christ, or punished in Hell, but it will never be overlooked by your holy Creator.

Now, there is nothing freer than a gift, and truly, there is nothing freer than the free gift of God, eternal life. *Romans 6:23* God the Father *gave* His Son to die for poor sinners like you. The eternal God, who made all things, was not willing that any should perish; therefore, He gave His Son to ransom you from sin's curse. God provided a Sinless Blood Sacrifice in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to take away your guilt, and, to do this, God gave His Son to live and die here on this Earth. God gave us Himself by becoming a Jewish man and then bearing our sins and dying for our sins. Repent of your sinfulness and renounce your self-righteousness, place and fix all your trust in the person of Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, and His Precious Blood that was shed for ungodly sinners, especially you.

God is holy, man is sinful, Christ Jesus (God manifest in the flesh) alone lived a sinless life, and then He became Sin, that is, He bore our sins in His own body on the Tree, He died for sinners and suffered the wrath of God for us all. Jesus died the death for Sin that we deserved. Jesus was buried and raised again from the dead victorious over sin, death, hell, and the grave. He is ascended into heaven and is coming again to judge the quick and the dead. God now commands all men everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel of Christ. Submit to Christ's Righteousness, fix all your confidence on His Precious Blood Atonement for sinful wretches. Trust Christ, not yourself. After Jesus saves your soul, love and follow Him in gratitude.

The Gospel is life changing, God honoring, and Christ centered. The broad way leads to destruction in hell, and the narrow way, the way of the Cross, leads to eternal life. See Acts 4:12; John 14:6; I Timothy 2:5-6. Receive Christ, receive the Spirit of God within your body. Renounce your works and sinful ways, flee to the Lamb of God who died upon the Cross for you, find Shelter under Christ's blood from the coming wrath of God.

JEHOVAH GOD was manifested in human flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. The Creator who had never been seen by the eye of man was veiled in human flesh. Jesus was God and Man in one person. He was the gift of Grace, the gift of Love, the gift of God’s own Self. The eternal Son of God came to earth to suffer as a Sinless Substitute, so that miserable wretches like us might not perish. God Incarnate bled and died for your sins to save you from the wrath to come. God gave His Son; the Son gave Himself to die; and by an act of faith; if you will TRUST HIM, Christ is your Savior forever.

The greatest proof of Jesus’ condescending love is when He came down from the Throne of Glory to the Cross of Calvary. “He loved me, and gave Himself for me.” *Gal 2:20* Jesus obeyed the Law of God perfectly and was without sin; He was absolutely pure in thought, word, and deed. He descended from Heaven to the manger of Bethlehem – then He stooped even further to bear your sins in His own body on the Cross. Christ Jesus, out of mighty love, came here to earth, lived, labored, and died, giving His whole life away, so that ungodly sinners might be saved freely through Him. He did not come to gain anything for Himself, but out of pure love, He suffered the wrath of God for you. He endured untold anguish even unto death on Calvary’s Cross for your redemption. Remember this – Jesus bled for your sins!

God so loved the world that He gave His Son, who yielded His life an Atonement for sin, and opened the Life Gate that all guilty sinners may go in. Behold, the Son of God did all this for your soul! After JESUS died for you, He was buried, and then He rose from the dead. Then He ascended, and is now seated at the right hand of God. He is alive right now, and He still gives Himself to those that Trust Him. Through faith in His Precious Blood, Jesus can save you from all the guilt of your sin, all the power of your sin, and all the penalty of your sin. This is the best news that lost sinners have ever heard. Jesus is the Great Savior for great sinners. HE is the only answer to your misery and fear of death. You're going to die and meet your Maker; you're not ready. You have no merit; there is not an atom of goodness in you - you deserve eternal death for your sins against God. You are spiritually bankrupt - you have nothing to offer God.

But God is ready to pardon you; He is willing to save you now, if you will but trust His Son. Christ died for ungodly and guilty sinners, not good people. Good people that are self-righteous and trust in themselves end up in Hell. Simply Trust Christ Himself (rely and rest entirely on what Jesus did for you) and your sins shall be freely pardoned by mercy divine. You will be saved in an instant – when you call upon Jesus’ name. Humble yourself, send out a ‘distress call’ from your soul to Heaven, and God will save you by His grace. The instantaneous forgiveness of sins and irreversible eternal life is what your sin-sick soul needs the most.

If you reject Christ, there is no hope for you, and if you neglect HIM, you will deliberately and willfully commit spiritual suicide. Believe the Gospel and live; if you refuse HIM, you will be damned. Only TRUST JESUS, fall down at His feet in repentance, confess your sins, and ask Him to deliver you. Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while HE IS NEAR.

When Christ Jesus died on Calvary's Cross, He died as a substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, "offering up" our sins for judgment and punishment by a holy God, and He simultaneously "offered up" Himself as the one who would submit to that judgment and bear that punishment for us. Jesus was able to do this because He was both the infinite Creator and the one sinless man, who needed not to offer a sacrifice for His own sins. He was willing to do this because He loved us and wanted to save us by His grace. Jesus suffered and bled and died for your sins, so He could save you from the wrath of God and eternal death.

The matchless doctrine of Christ's substitutionary blood Sacrifice is central to the Gospel of Salvation, and therefore precious to the saint. But its central importance also means that it is grossly offensive to the natural man. Many acclaim Jesus as a great martyr or moral teacher, but deny either His deity or His humanity, and certainly deny the universal efficacy of His shed blood in substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of a lost world. Nevertheless, Jesus did bear our sins, and He did completely settle our account with God. In both Hebrews 7:27 and 9:28, the word "once". Jesus did have to die once--but only once--as our sin-bearing Substitute.

Salvation is now Free to you, but it cost God’s Son His life and blood. Salvation is the free gift of God’s Grace, but you must seek it, you must call upon God for it. Do it at once! This is the ‘Message of Mercy’ - God’s Free salvation is only offered to lost and guilty sinners through God's Blood shed by Jesus Christ Himself. Whosoever believeth in Christ Jesus hath everlasting life. Trust Christ Now! Trust Him wholly and fully. Repent, that is, leave your sins and your dark master behind, flee to Christ, leave all other trusts, leave your self-righteousness, quit it all! Simply Rely upon Christ’s shed blood to save your soul from the wrath of God. God be merciful to me a sinner for Jesus’ sake! *Soli Autem Crucis - The Cross Alone*

Three Keys to Good Success

* Always Care about God and souls
* Remain Diligent
* Remember to be Courteous

Always Remember Calvary

I have sinned and deserve only hell, but Christ Jesus came and took all my sin and hell; I have now put all my trust on Christ's blood; Christ took my place, and I have taken His. Now all that is left for me is Heaven's glory. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Calvary's Cross is the only hope of a sinner - the great transaction, the great substitution, the lifting of sin from off the sinner to the sinner's Substitute. The punishment of Christ instead of the sinner. The pouring out of God's wrath due to the transgressor upon the head of the Sin-Bearer. This is the grandest transaction which ever took place on earth - Jesus Christ, made sin for us, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Him. The sinless Savior stood and died in the place of guilty sinners. God laid upon the spotless Lamb of God the sin of His enemies, so that He becomes Sin personified and dies for sin. And then God takes off from the innocent Savior His Righteousness, and puts that to the account of the guilty bankrupt sinner, so that the sinner becomes actual Righteousness - the real divine Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Substitution is the key word. Christ suffering in the place of the sinner, and numbered with the transgressors because of their transgressions, not His own. Christ paying all our sin-debts in full, and discharging all our vile liabilities. We then take Christ's place as He takes ours, so that we are accepted in the Beloved, and made sons and heirs of God. There is a divine and all-sufficient Substitute for the sinner, and all sinners that will put their trust on Him shall be eternally saved (John 3:36).

Now, be honest, you know you're a sinner, come clean with God, plead guilty. You must take Christ, or die in your sins and lose your soul in the lake of fire. The right way to take medicine is to just swallow it down at once, quickly without delay. It doesn't take you long to get to the emergency room or the pharmacy if you're really sick or in pain. The one medicine for a dying sinner is the Blood of God's Son, Jesus Christ. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all sin. Christ Himself is the divine remedy for human sin. You have a burden of sin, and only the Holy Ghost can cause you to sense your danger, your soul will never cease to exist, the day of Judgment is drawing nigh, your conscience warns you of a coming judgment, you will give account of yourself to your Creator, your soul is often alarmed at the thought of dying and facing an angry God, prepare to meet your Maker. O be wise - Be a hearer, a reader, a searcher of the Scriptures, and then be a pray-er, a seeker, a repenter, a truster in the Savior, and then be a know-er, a lover of God, and a reacher of souls.

Believe only on the Lord Jesus Christ - trust Him quietly, humbly, simply, and immediately. Trust Him to make you a saved man, and a good man. Only Christ Jesus can deliver you from the love of sin, the power of the devil - He will do it. Jesus is Truth itself, and He never breaks His word - He saves sinners to the uttermost. Only trust HIM, trust Him to overcome the evil you are fighting with. Jesus can conquer your sinful habits, not you. Trust in the wounded, bleeding, dying, risen, living, and coming Savior. He will fight your battles with sin, and you shall have His victory. Trust Christ completely, and nothing you can do. Weakness, meekness, humility, and lowliness under the mighty hand of the Savior is the key to victory. Your most urgent need is the help of the Holy Ghost, and simple faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. Ask God to change your vile nature with the power of the Blood of Christ. The only remedy for your sin is Christ in your heart. You're very welcome to come to the Christ Jesus at the Cross now. Always remember Calvary, and renounce self daily (Luke 9:23). Blessed be the name of the Lord!

The Right Way to Plead

Leave off attempting to work for your salvation by an obedience of your own. Christ must save you from top to bottom, head to toe; God's great salvation is *All for Nothing*. To argue human merit is to plead against yourself. Take your place as a condemned criminal in the sight of God. Simple faith in God's dear bleeding Son is the only way to be reconciled to God. You must receive the Atonement freely, you cannot earn it, deserve it, complete it, or add anything of yours to it. The Atonement is a Free Gift. The precious Gospel word is "Receive". Broken, ruined, condemned sinners must "Receive" divine grace. If you have nothing to offer, you are the very sinner who can 'Receive' Christ's free salvation. Salvation from sin is a divine gift from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself - God manifest in the flesh.

Salvation can never be deserved, but only freely bestowed by God on the unworthy sinner, without any regard to human merit. We must accept the Gift, and then bless the Giver. Salvation is of free mercy, go now directly to the Cross and cast your guilty soul on Christ's divine blood. Confess your need of God's free forgiveness of sins through Christ's doing and dying. Plead not human goodness for you have none, but divine mercy and the merits Jesus alone. Plead earnestly and importunately and contritely with humility and resignation in Jesus' name, and you shall be heard. Never put your trust in anything that comes from you, but look only to Jesus. Appeal for mercy through Jesus' merits and blood. Free justification through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.

Pleading is the very marrow of prayer. Plead the blood and merits of Jesus instantly. The master-key of prayer is the blood and name of Jesus who died to save sinners and rose again, and now He ever lives in heaven to save unto the uttermost. Plead with God and fight your sins with hope in His mercy. Plead the promises of God in simple childlike faith. Go and plead your need before God, plead your sins, tell God you are wretched and undone without His grace and mercy. Plead the greatness of your sins as the reason for mercy, the damnable character of your sins, the certainty of your damnation. This is the way to plead - not your merits, but your misery, your sins, your guiltiness before God - these are the sinner's arguments.

The right way to plead is to plead your misery, impotence, and danger. Plead your miserable and undone condition. Confess your sin, own your guiltiness. Then come and plead the blood of Jesus Christ. There is no answer for your sins and guilt but Christ's atoning blood. Jesus came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance; He came not to save the good, but the ungodly. Christ justifies the ungodly - the unrighteous man Jesus make righteous through His own blood and merits.

Plead now, spread out your case before God, order your arguments, plead the precious blood of Jesus, set the wounds of Christ before the Father's eyes, bring up the atoning Sacrifice, mention always the Atonement of the great Substitute for sinners, look to Calvary's Lamb. Receive Christ's merits, and be emptied of your own. Salvation is the pure gift of God, not of your works, not the result of human merit, but of free favor only; not of man, but of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Leave off your doing, and let Christ do all for you; leave off looking to yourself, and just come as a lost sinner and look to Jesus.

Humble, contrite, importunate pleaders are heard in heaven. All your hope lies in divine mercy, for you have no merit. Take up your true position as a condemned sinner. Confess your sins, honestly plead guilty, admit your condemnation, heartily acknowledge your wickedness. Plead Jesus only. If you love Jesus keep His commandments, feed His sheep, give yourself to His service, promote His glory. Look to the finished Propitiation, the Great Forgiver, the living Mediator, the infinite merits of Immanuel. You must come to Jesus with nothing, and ask Him for everything - He is the way, the whole way, the free way, nothing to pay, nothing to do, nothing to be, nothing to bring, no human merits, no deservings, no preparations; the forgiveness of sins is all of grace; all the pure gift of God. The neglect of private prayer devours the strength of the Christian.

Only plead your misery, your inability, your danger, your demerit, your sinfulness. God only saves sinners by grace. Self-righteousness is an offense to God's gospel and an insult to the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Plead with God your miserable and undone condition. You are utterly lost without Christ. God's mercy is Free. Trust in Jesus Christ alone and you shall have free, instantaneous, perfect, everlasting, divine pardon; safety on earth, glory in Heaven, all for nothing, the free gift of a gracious God to undeserving rebels. Your need of a Savior is your only right. Plead your need, your sin, your wretchedness. Plead for God's mercy in the free gift of Christ. Plead with Jesus, the compassion of His heart. Plead Jesus' love and blood, not what you have done or hope to do. Only acknowledge your misery. You are a spiritual beggar who needs heavenly alms. The beggar's need is his best plea. Simple faith in Him who loved you and gave Himself for you saves the guilty soul. Away with self, cleave to Christ, let Him be glorified. The true suppliant will never mention his own righteousness. Sinners can never merit anything but eternal death, Eternal Life must be the free gift of God. Rags are the attire of a beggar. Your ruin and miseries are your arguments for mercy, not your good doings. Christ my Ransom died in my place.

This is how to plead - not your merits, but your misery, your sinfulness, your guiltiness before God. These are your only arguments. I can do nothing, I have nothing to bring. The right way to plead is "Guilty!" It is foolish for a beggar to plead that he is not in want. You are guilty, you need mercy, you have transgressed God's law, you need to be forgiven. Don't commit spiritual suicide. You are a guilty soul, you have no merits to plead, appeal to God's free mercy. God only freely forgives sinners through the infinite merits of Jesus Christ's sinless blood. Plead guilty to all charges, then plead Christ's Blood Atonement. Be doubly earnest in pleading with the Holy Ghost to have mercy on your soul.

You must be converted, repent, ye must be Born Again (John 3:7), and be purchased with the Savior's precious blood, and regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Only the Blood Atonement of the Lamb of God can satisfy the divine demands of God, and purge you of the power, guilt, love, and habit of sin. Away with 'all' your fancied good works, vain boastings, and empty religious doings. There was never a sinner saved yet who merited it.

Every sinner without Christ has no hope, no God, and he's no good; he is a wretch undone, misery incarnate, he is perishing and guilty, and his soul will soon be lost forever in outer darkness where there is no light, and in the the flames of hell where there is no hope of escape. Evolution is a fatal delusion of the grossest kind. Trust your soul in Jesus' hands, never build on your own righteousness, look only to the bleeding wounds of Immanuel (God with us). By simple faith and trust, Lay hold on the Gospel and Eternal Life, lay hold on Christ Jesus Himself the Savior of sinners. Simply trust in the Blood of the Crucified One. Never trust to anything but Christ Jesus.

Sin only breeds pride, and then misery and shame. Leave off loving your sins, for those darling secret sins of yours will drag you down into the pit of hell where you belong. Your own conscience tells you that you are guilty before God when you lie, steal, and lust. Your soul is covered with sin, and only Christ's Precious Blood take it away, only He can cleanse and forgive you. There is no hope for a poor sinner apart from the Cross of Jesus. Take care that you heartily plead the blood and mercy of Jesus Christ. A prayerless and thankless soul is a Christ-less soul. Your lost soul is teeming with sin. Simply trust Christ, simply trust HIM with your soul now.

Only the sinless bloody Sacrifice of the Lamb of God can satisfy the demands of God's divine law and justice. You must not trust in your doings at all, leave off your doing altogether, there must be a complete denial of all your doings. Stop trusting in yourself today. God be merciful to me a sinner, please save my soul for His dear sake who shed His own blood for my guilty soul. Cry out to God for mercy, plead with Christ for His free pardon of sin. Plead the precious blood Atonement of Christ for guilty sinners. God gives rich, free, unmerited mercy to underserving sinners who call upon Jesus' name.

Place all your confidence in the grace of God in Christ. God will never reject the sincere cry for the Blood of His dear Son. Come to the Cross as a rebellious and guilty sinner having no merit. Simply receive, believe, take and enjoy Christ Himself now. Plead for strength to do God's will. Plead the Sinless Savior's blood now. Use no other argument when you plead with God but the name and blood of His dear Son. Your soul is starving and in a case of destitution, a wretch undone, your need is your best plea. *Every day*, you are just the person who needs a Savior, confess your need, plead for mercy at the foot of the Cross.
