Missing Ingredient-4

* Reconciliation to God through the Precious Blood of Emmanuel. 
* Regeneration by the divine working of the Holy Spirit.
* The atoning work of Christ for us; 
the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in us.
* Christ Jesus removes guilt;
the Holy Spirit removes guile.

You can never reconcile your sinful Soul back to God by any of your works or merit, for if you lived out a perfect life all the rest of your days, which you cannot, you could never undo all your transgressions of the past. All of your so-called good works bound up in one bundle could not atone for even one of your sins against The Almighty. You cannot be reconciled to God by any of man's invented religious ceremonies, sacraments or ordinances. If you choose religion, God will not choose you. Listen UP Now, Hearken, Incline your ear: All men and women are lost and condemned, but Christ Jesus, JEHOVAH Incarnate, came into the world to save sinners. He took upon Himself human flesh and lived here 33 years in poverty, obscurity, sorrow, and persecution, until at the last when His hour had come. He bore the burden of human sins in His own body. He became Sin for us, who knew no sin. 

The Father laid upon JESUS the iniquity of us all, and on Golgotha's Cross JESUS suffered what we ought to have suffered. God inflicted His divine Justice upon JESUS, the very Justice we deserved. God poured out upon The Lamb of God the whole weight of His wrath, and now whosoever will come to God by way of the Cross will be rescued from God's justice, recompense and vengeance. Reconciliation to God through the Precious Blood of His dear Son, that is, through the sinless, substitutionary sacrifice of the infinite Son of God. 

There is available now free forgiveness of all your sins through faith in the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mercy, grace, peace, pardon, heaven are all available this moment. The great Substitute for human sin is the Way, for there is no other mode of Reconciliation to God. There must be a transparent admission from you of needing help and directions. 

My soul's poverty fits me for divine alms; my sickness fits me for the Physician; my being nothing fits and prepares me for Christ to be my All-in-All; my emptiness fits me for the fullness of His grace. Be wise now - take to begging at Christ's feet. This is the way to be rich towards God. We prize divine mercy most when we feel the weight and guilt of our sins against God. The Holy Ghost opens our eyes and causes us to be consciously condemned before God. You would never send medicine to a healthy man; you would never send alms to a millionaire; you would offer forgiveness to an innocent man. We must be proven guilty by the Holy Spirit. Come to your senses, Distinctly acknowledge your inward spiritual disease called Sin, only then will you highly value the Physician's divine Medicine. Only the tender quickening operations of the Holy Spirit can awaken you to your sinful condition, and bring you out of your sin coma. The internal work of grace in the soul by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Come apart with JESUS, or you will come apart.

Your self-righteousness must be broken down by the Holy Spirit. JESUS will never clothe you, until you cast away your diseased self-righteous rags. He will never wash you until you Admit your filthiness. He will never Heal you until you confess your illness and yield to Him. Don't try to flatter JESUS with your human goodness and vain religiousness. You will never have true dealings with the Savior until you are poverty-stricken and helpless. You must call on JESUS for divine aid and heavenly relief. A real sinner is a rare thing, for the Holy Spirit has made him so. Come to JESUS like a beggar for alms, and like a lost child seeks a father's help to bring him back home. As an empty hand accepts alms, even so your empty soul must accept Christ's charity. 

From sin hunger and sickness to sacred nutrients and divine nourishment; From bankrupt beggary to the unsearchable riches in Christ; but first, You must go down to the CROSS and dwell with the penniless beggars. Stubborn annoying begging can be heard at the Cross; the best of beggars are the ones most in need. As long as you are in need and necessity, you are welcome at the KING OF KINGS' door, His most excellent Majesty. Seek mercy from the Savior's pierced hands, for men ought always to pray (beg), and not to faint. There's nothing left in my pockets, my clothes are rags, my shoes are full of holes, and as a ragged dirt poor mendicant I bow before the Prince of Life. 

There are three groups of so-called Christians: 1) professing (I believe about Jesus), 2) practicing (I go to church, and do my best to help Jesus save me, and 3) actual-practical (I believe on Jesus, I am sinfulness and nothingness).  Which one are you? Many people believe about Jesus, but very few believe IN and ON Jesus.
