The Glad Tidings of God's Plenteous Redemption
Today, I declare unto you Glad Tidings once again, for I love to blaze abroad the matter of the Crucified and Risen Creator, the Incarnate God offering up Himself as the ATONEMENT, and bleeding for hopeless sinners. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF is the Glorious Theme of the Gospel's Message of Mercy. Whosoever believeth that JESUS is the Christ is born of God. He that believeth on JESUS is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he believed not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. God hath given us eternal life, and this Life is in His Son. This is the Gospel Seed, and it must be planted by the Spirit of God in the heart of man.
Fix all your hope in the Crucified and Risen Incarnate Creator, Jesus Christ The Righteous. The Finished Atonement of Christ is all my Confidence and Protection. I am reconciled to God by Simple Faith in the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God. Whosoever will, let him take the water of Life freely. Trust to JESUS, and none beside Him, and your Soul will be Free. God's grace is freely given to bankrupt sinners. If you reject Christ, your damnation is just. Your guilty Soul needs the Risen Savior. Trust in the Substitution and Atoning Blood Sacrifice of Christ Jesus the Lord. Trust HIM to take away all your sins and blot them out forever with GOD'S BLOOD. Trust JESUS entirely to take your Soul and save you personally, and you are forgiven this moment, this very instant.
The CROSS and the Sinner's Desperate State
Come to THE CROSS, come Now to the Lamb of God, come with your filthy Soul to the Savior's Atoning Blood. You're an Enemy to God and a lover of sins. Trust Christ to save you from the love of sin. To Believe is to Trust JESUS alone, to trust His suffering and bloody death to pay for your Sins. Receive JESUS' Atonement and rely upon Him alone for your Eternal Salvation. Never trust yourself one bit. Jesus still saves helpless, hopeless sinners.
Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, made a full, satisfactory Substitutionary Atonement for every sinner on earth today. Jesus bled and died on THE CROSS as The Substitute for sinners; He is the Soul's Water of Life and Bread of Life in one Wonderful Person. The Gospel is hard for you because you are proud; it is hard for you to simply trust Christ because you are self-righteous and a lover of sin. You want to have a finger in your own salvation in some way or other. The Spirit of God must take away all your power, strength, merit, boasting, and glorying in self. Trust Christ's Blood and Righteousness Now, with all thine heart.
Reconciliation to God by the Blood of God, by the Substitutionary Sacrifice of the infinite Son of God, is the only Way to Eternal Life. There is Free Forgiveness of your Sins available to you Now through Faith in GOD'S BLOOD that was shed by the Son of God on Golgotha's Cross. There is Mercy, Grace, Pardon, and Heaven for any sinner who Believes in JESUS, the Great Substitute for SIN. JESUS' brow, hands, feet, back, and side streamed with GOD'S Priceless BLOOD. Put all your Confidence in the Propitiation that God Himself has provided in the person of Jesus Christ.
The LAMB'S Finished Work and Free Forgiveness
God was in Christ, God in human flesh, came to planet Earth which He created to reconcile sinners and justify the ungodly Freely. God made and Finished the Atonement for human sin in the person of Jesus Christ. Look to THE CROSS and see the Lamb of God bleeding and dying in your place, for your sins. God's way of Salvation is simply this: JESUS has done everything for you; Now you must Receive HIM and His ATONEMENT which as Finished for you.
By your love to your own Soul, by heaven and hell, by the bleeding wounds of JESUS, and by the living words of God, I beseech you now, be ye Reconciled to God, Receive Christ into your being, and Trust His BLOOD alone. View the Bleeding Savior and begin to hate your sins. The Incarnate Creator bled out His very life and soul for you. The first act of obedience to God must be to Trust JESUS wholly, simply, heartily, and Alone. Recline/Repose your Soul on JESUS and you are saved this very moment. For there is One Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
This is the Gospel according to the Holy Scriptures: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved from the wrath to come on Sin. The Gospel calls guilty men to come into personal contact with Christ Jesus by Faith in His Precious Blood. The whole object and intent of the Gospel is to bring sinners back to God in Christ Jesus, and to put down every interposing obstacle that religion and education try to stand up.
Condemnation and the Futility of Self-Effort
You have broken God's Law and are justly condemned on account of your rebellion and enmity against God. But God in His infinite and tender Mercy, desiring to save sinners, delivered up His dear Son to stand and die the death penalty in your place. JESUS became the Substitute and suffered in your place, and for you the debt of eternal punishment due to God was paid in full by JESUS upon the Cross of Calvary. All sinners who believe in JESUS alone are justified from all crimes they've committed against God, and cleared before the bar of God's divine justice forever.
God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and now whosoever believeth in the Lord Jesus Christ HATH Everlasting Life. Christ saves all sinners who trust Him alone; if you Trust HIM, you are spared from the vengeance of God. Hear the Gospel, receive and believe the Gospel as God's Testimony, record, report, and message of Mercy to sinners. Trust your Soul to JESUS completely; you must personally Believe on Christ Jesus Himself. JESUS paid all the Penalty due to your sins; Trust His Finished ATONEMENT alone, not your self-righteousness. Hear the Glad Tidings of The Gospel: Trust what JESUS has accomplished and finished for you, not what you have done or will do.
Water baptism will never wash away one of your internal sins; baptism is only a picture of your sins being washed away, but water baptism can never perform the Remission of Sins for you. A religious professional (priest, pastor, elder) cannot do anything to help your Soul. Sin deserves eternal death and punishment; you are a sinner, therefore you deserve eternal death. Unless somebody else takes the punishment for you, you must inevitably face judgment and wrath upon your sins. As long as you continue to neglect Christ, you are an eternal tragedy waiting to happen. Christ has died on behalf of all sinners, especially you. At THE CROSS, JESUS died the death you deserve for sinning against God.
The Deception of Religion and the Diagnosis of Sin
Religion and technology cannot help you. Political change and better education cannot take away your sins. A better educated badness can never take away the leopard's spots on your Soul. Sophisticated religion only mocks your wretched, thirsty Soul's sad cry. You're feeding on the husks and chaff that this present evil world decoys you with every day. Vague religious generalities are only a dead end right off into Hell.
You're kind of like that fellow who is feeling bad; he knows he has some sort of problem festering inside him, but he's afraid to go to the doctor on account of what he might find out from that blood work. You refuse to read about your obvious symptoms which are in THE BIBLE, and you refuse to submit to the Holy Spirit's blood work, and you will not go to see the doctor for some real help for your real sins. If you keep it up, you're going to die in your sins.
The main problem you have all the time is your sins; you are very wrong and completely dead on the inside; you just don't know it YET. The Holy Spirit must change you from the inside out by His Supernatural Regeneration and Transformation. Be still, Be nothing, and know that JESUS IS GOD. Your grocery cart's wheels make lots of racket and they won't go straight; you're crooked and crippled on the inside.
The Only Justifier of the Ungodly
JESUS of Nazareth, the Perfect God-man, died for sinners, but God raised Him from the dead. God is Just; every sin must be punished eternally by someone, and that's why JESUS suffered, bled, and died. JEHOVAH is Gracious and Merciful to sinners, and He will freely give you the Forgiveness of Sins and Life Eternal because God laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all.
Religion on the outside is a blinding and damning curse, for it tries to substitute ritual for Reality. Religion makes you feel proud of yourself; human nature loves to win merit badges and brownie points. Blatant sinners and religious sinners must be saved the same way at THE CROSS. Stop all your useless religious activity—JESUS has done all the work required for your Salvation. JESUS paid the whole Price for your Ransom. There's nothing left for you to do; there's nothing you can add to JESUS' BLOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. You cannot earn any spiritual brownie points with God. The religious traditionalist and professional will always lead you to be self-righteous; they're all the same in the sight of God.
Your circumstances are desperate: Focus your Faith on GOD'S BLOOD Now. GOD'S BLOOD must atone for all your sins, and you must Receive Christ's Righteousness by Faith. God's Blood can completely deliver your Soul from the guilt and punishment of sins. Divine Forgiveness comes only from Christ Himself; any other way is an abominable blasphemy. You must be positively absolved from all your crimes through the Sinless Blood of the Lamb of God.
Your merits are good for nothing; you can get no benefit from them. Your own self-efforts are useless. Simply come to your wit's end, humbly come to JESUS, and believe on His BLOOD. Human merit is a very dangerous LIE. It's an awful thing to have a homeless body, but to have a homeless Soul is an eternal tragedy. Human nature would love to do something to earn Christ, but Only Christ can make you good enough for God's heaven.
Come to Jesus in Your Rags
No matter how shabby and ragged you are, never mind—come to JESUS now; there is a royal garment waiting for you just inside the strait gate. Weary and sin-laden Soul, Come to JESUS in your rags, filth, and wickedness, and JESUS will give your Soul His Rest and Peace; please don't delay another day. A lost sinner is the only title to Salvation. To be Saved means to be Rescued and Spared from the Eternal Damnation of Hell that your sins justly deserve from God.
Come and Receive God's Free Mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ. The moment a sinner believes and trusts in the Crucified God for free Pardon, at once that sinner receives full Salvation for JESUS' SAKE. A filthy sinner one moment, a pardoned Soul the next. Eternal Salvation is granted and infused in an instant by the Regenerating power of the Spirit of God. The saved Soul is thoroughly Justified and Complete in Christ. Christ Crucified is the sinner's only Hope in this life and in the world to come. Your Soul can only be fully absolved by Calvary's Sinless LAMB OF GOD.
Lord Jesus, I am vile to the core; please give me real Faith in You. Christ died for sinners; I am a sinner to the bone marrow. Lord Jesus, please sprinkle your Precious Blood on my Soul. The Lamb of God came into the world to die for the ungodly and save the vile sinner, not the good and excellent. Trust JESUS' Mercy, Love, and Blood to be your Soul's Everlasting Redemption. Your sins keep your lost Soul in bondage, darkness, and despair. Whosoever will cast all his good works overboard and come to JESUS with Nothing shall be saved forevermore. Come to JESUS, Believe His Voice, Trust His Mercy, Rely on His Blood.
Confession, Repentance, and God's Righteousness
The Full, Free, Eternal Remission of Sin comes only through the Sinless Mediator's Bloody Sacrifice of Himself; He is the Man Christ Jesus. Confess your sins to God, and forsake them for JESUS' SAKE. There is eternal forgiveness with God in Christ, for He delighteth in Mercy. Go directly to God through JESUS in secret; own your sin of Unbelief, for it is a great and wicked sin. Confess you are guilty; do not try to make out that you are good at all. Be willing to be Saved by Simple Faith, by Free Grace through the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ—that is God's Way. Trust Christ to save your Soul, and He will do it, to the praise of the glory of His grace.
Can you say anything good about yourself? There is not an atom of goodness anywhere in your being. Everything about you only deserves God's wrath. Your sins thoroughly deserve eternal punishment in the lake of fire. Good, hard-working people die in their sins and go to hell every day, trying their best to help JESUS to save their Soul. You have no righteousness of your own, and have no means of working a righteousness that will make you acceptable to God; apart from Free Grace, you're condemned and your Soul will be damned for sure.
This is the Way of Righteousness: Highly Value the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, which is upon All that Believe on Jesus. God's Righteousness completely covers and protects your Soul, and makes you Acceptable to God eternally. If you finally realize you are sinful and conscious of your guilt before God, JESUS CHRIST can make you Righteous on the spot, by the Righteousness of Another, by the worthiness of Another, who has FINISHED a perfect Righteousness for you. Only the Spirit of God can make this Gospel Truth plain and convince you of it.
Do not make light of JESUS and go off into Eternity in your sins. This is the Glory of God: JEHOVAH justifies the ungodly and saves sinners by the perfect, finished BLOOD ATONEMENT of The Lamb of God. Drawn by the Father, Enlightened and Persuaded by the Holy Spirit, Ransomed and Redeemed by the Son of God Himself, the only true way of Salvation for sinful men is the hearing of Faith, not by your dead evil works. You cannot overcome sins by your own strength; you are completely without strength; The Holy Bible says so. Only JESUS Himself can save you from Penalty, Power, and Practice of Sin.
The Sure Medicine for Human Sin
JESUS is Incarnate Grace and Truth. Rush to the Cross for the only Sure Medicine for human sin—GOD'S BLOOD. Only an insane madman would reject Christ and go to hell for no reason. If you have nothing to pay, The Lamb of God will frankly forgive all your sins. JESUS destroyed the works of the devil and darkness when He triumphed over them as He suffered and died for sinners on THE TREE. Only Christ's Precious Blood can destroy your enmity against God the Father.
Self-righteous pride says, "I am a little better than most men, and not as bad as some I know. I do this, and I may do that, but I do not do the other." This is evil human nature boasting, excusing, and alibiing for its evil self. The Son of God must destroy all of your self-righteousness. The Spirit of God must wither up your imaginary goodness. You're a Fool and a Liar to even mention your own righteousness. You have no righteousness of your own. Your own righteousness is the evil work of the devil. Your righteousness when compared to CHRIST is less than nothing. Verily every man at his best state is Altogether Vanity. The foulest vices bubble up from your heart, and the foulest thoughts run through your mind daily.
