Missing Ingredient-6

You are currently serving one prince or the other: The prince of the power of the air (Satan), or the Prince of Life (The Lord Jesus Christ). In your natural unregenerate state, you can serve no one but Satan, because you are imprisoned in the kingdom of darkness. Your greatest need is the Savior's Precious Blood on your conscience, soul, and heart. You need the Holy Spirit Himself to renew your inward nature which craves sins and loves this world and the lusts thereof. Are you sheltered beneath the reconciling Precious Blood of Calvary at this moment? The conversion of a soul is the mysterious divine work of the Spirit of God. If a man awakens out of a physical coma, it is a miracle; but if a man awakens out of his spiritual Coma, it is a divine miracle for sure. 

Human efforts are all in vain. Are you willing to be completely saved by Christ Jesus, without any goodness of your own? A work of God's divine grace must be performed in your heart called Regeneration. Religiousness is a pointless road to nowhere. The contrite ones are conscious of their guilt before God. The conviction of sin must come home to your soul through the mighty working of the Spirit of God. The only way to get to Christ Jesus is to feel your sinfulness and sense your emptiness. Only then will you begin to truly realize the value of the Precious Blood and need of Salvation. 

Christ Jesus tasted death for every man, and The Holy Spirit convinces every man of his sins, the gospel's truths, and then leads them to the Savior. And when sinners trust to Jesus, the Holy Spirit gives them new hearts and right spirits, and brings forth fruit in them. The monster sins that will eternally condemn you to a devil's hell is the neglect and rejection of the Son of God. The Spirit of Truth convinces the worldling of sin, because they do not believe on Jesus. 

I am doing my best with this gospel message to attract, persuade, advise, and forewarn your indifferent, careless soul. Please consider your latter end today. All your hope of salvation must lie in Jesus Christ and His Precious Blood. Salvation is a work which only the Holy Spirit can accomplish within you. Salvation must come from above, not from a religious sect. Salvation requires the divine miracle of Grace. The conviction of sin from the Spirit of God makes a person feel to be less than nothing, and unworthy to lift their eyes to heaven. The natural man sticks to the sentiments and rituals of his religious profession, loyal to a creed of customs, and remains utterly oblivious to true salvation and communion with God. Christ died for the ungodly. 

You are without spiritual strength until God gives you His strength. Let your faith rest completely upon Jesus Christ as God Incarnate shedding His Precious Blood for your sins. You are bad throughout, a sinner down to your bone marrow, down deep inside where you love sins and darkness. You refuse to go to Christ Jesus as a beggar in rags and receive all freely from the King's loving hands. You are so bankrupt that you cannot believe or repent apart from the Holy Spirit's divine help. 

Could you picture Jesus when He was here on Earth going around Palestine selling His cures? Saying to blind Bartimaeus, "How much do you have left in your alms cups to give me for your eyesight?" Or to say to Martha and Mary, "You ladies need to pass the offering plate, give me what you can, and I will raise your brother, Lazarus, from the dead." Yet you try to barter and bargain with Jesus with your self-righteousness. JESUS' huge loving heart is dishonored by your self-righteous bribes. Eternal Salvation is only given without price to helpless beggars at the Cross. All for nothing, or nothing at all. 

Jesus takes the crown from His scarred brow and places it on your head, only when you receive Him by faith. Not by merit or reward, only by Mercy. The sinner must appeal to Mercy, and Jesus will give you His riches through His royal divine power. The Righteous Savior considers the cause of the poor sinner, but the wicked religionist regardeth not to know it. Simply honor Christ Jesus by coming to Him as a destitute sinner with nothing to give or offer Him but your multitude of sins. Regeneration is highly essential in your case. Only the Holy Spirit can make your soul alive unto God. False religions come and go, but Christ Jesus is the same yesterday, today and Forever. Trust Jesus with your soul, not yourself or your religion.
