God's Honest Truth (1)

Only the Lord Jesus Christ Himself can make you Fit for heaven. Only the Holy Spirit can make you Right with God deep within. The Complete Truth is found in a Person, not in a religion. Only the Spirit of God can give you a true interest in the Savior's blood. The only thing you can produce on your own, and that belongs solely to you are your Sins against God. Everything else you have is a gift from your Creator. Your immortal soul's eternal destiny will be determined by what you do personally with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh, no matter what you think. 

Jesus is Altogether Lovely; Exalt the Matchless Savior's Beautiful Name. Jesus' Precious Blood makes perfect Peace between the thrice holy God and guilty sinners. The things that God hates, those are the things that atheists enjoy the most. No other name under heaven given among men, but Jesus Christ can save from the love of sin. There's just something about His name. My Creator died for my sins. JESUS bled to death on Calvary's Cross for my helpless soul. 

You are in wandering aimlessly, lost in sin's blackest night, and you cannot make your wrongs right before God. Therefore you need the Merciful Mediator, the Sinless Substitute, the Righteous Advocate. Jesus paid my sin debt in full with Calvary's innocent blood. It's still His Precious Blood that saves from sin and cleanses deep within. Never ever rely on the works you may do. The miracle of divine Love must gently bring you to the Cross. Jesus took my place; that's why I cannot boast of anything I have done whatsoever. Pin your faith on Jesus Christ's blood that was shed for poor sinners. 

Your soul must be saved by faith in the Precious Blood, saved by trusting in God's tender mercies, saved by relying completely on the Atonement. Your greatest need every day you wake up is the Atoning Blood and Pardoning Mercy of JEHOVAH JESUS. Men insanely trust in their own false righteousness, and neglect/despise Christ's Righteousness. The two hinges on which the Door of Salvation swing are the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and nothing else. These are the divine hinges that hold up and open the Door of Salvation. 

What is Christ to you? The very first thing you need to do is trust your soul with Christ alone. Give up that darling sin of yours, that unbelief, that self-righteousness - Let that sin go, before it drags into the jaws of hell. The natural carnal man loves the praise of men, so they will not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Man wants a system of religion and desires a creed which will tolerate his lusts, a religion which will afford them to keep their pride and self-will. Men love the glory of man, they loved to praised by one another, complimented, approved of, and commended. You want to be SOMEBODY, to be exalted and thought highly of by men. Human nature has a love affair with human vain glory. Faith gives all glory to God, and NONE to self or man. 

The Gospel will not allow you to strut, that is why you reject it. Men want a religion which is all an outward show, nothing with real eternal meaning and substance is tolerated. Men want to be liked and not criticized by their fellow wordlings. You crave people approving of you. The addiction of human approval is a damnable thing. There must be a change of heart deep within you, that is, a real radical vital entire change that comes from the Spirit of God. If you go your own way, you will surely perish. If you remain a worldling, you will wind up in hell's eternal torment. 

You are risking your soul's eternal safety and welfare. Your lusts are not worth going to hell over. You are running the risk of eternal damnation for a day of sinful pride and pleasure. Have pity on your poor soul. Your will is inclined to evil; your heart is prone to sin. Human nature wants to be moderately religious while still enjoying sinning against God. They want a shallow belief about Jesus, that doesn't penetrate the very heart and root of their love for sin and influences their private life. Men love a religion for the crowd, not for the heart.
