SEND THE LIGHT 3

Christ Jesus came into the world to save your Soul first from the love of sin, and also the flames of a burning hell. You're an enemy of God by nature; your sins have not been forgiven by Christ. If you died right now, you would be damned to hell for all Eternity. You have never actually sought and received Christ. You are in your sins and under the wrath of God. The only way a lost sinner can be happy is by thoughtlessness and continual activity. You better stop messing around with your Soul's eternal Safety. If you play the fool, you'll end up in Hell.

The BIBLE is True: you have a Soul that will live on forever somewhere. Therefore, please don't Neglect the Eternal needs of your immortal Soul. Your earthly life is but a Vapor, but Eternity is without end. Your Soul is perishing; you are going to exist somewhere forever in the world to come. You know your own sins. Some have been committed openly among companions and friends; others have been practiced in secret, hidden from every human eye. But nothing is hidden from God. He sees every thought, every word, and every deed. Yet there is hope: Jesus Christ came into the world to save the ungodly. He died for the guilty, the unworthy, and the helpless sinner. When all is said and done, one Question rises above every other: Have your sins been put away by the Precious Blood of GOD manifest in the flesh?

The thought of a holy, all-seeing God often troubles the conscience of man. Many seek to silence that inward voice through pleasure, entertainment, drunkenness, or other distractions. But peace cannot be found by forgetting God; true Peace is found by being reconciled to God by the BLOOD OF JESUS. The thought of a present, watching Deity makes you nervous and uneasy. Looking to Christ will Cure your evil habits of Sin. 

The Gospel of the Bible is simple and glorious: Look unto the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. Look to Christ alone for forgiveness, mercy, and everlasting life. His grace not only pardons sin but also delivers from its power, breaking the chains of evil habits and inwardly transforming the heart.

If you reject God's only remedy for Sin, there remains no other hope for you, for there is no other sacrifice that can take away your Sins. The Lord Jesus Christ is God's one and only Savior. Flee to Him while mercy is freely offered. Trust in JESUS today, and you shall find forgiveness, peace with God, and eternal life.

You're in an awful danger, and the only way of Escape is by coming to Christ for Shelter from the wrath to come. The Lake of Fire is the eternal place where God's wrath burns Sin without mercy, where the lost Soul suffers torment indescribable, weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth; everlasting torment, destruction and perdition; bound in chains of darkness; deep in the the bottomless pit, where the worm dieth not, and fire is not quenched.  

The GOSPEL, the only escape from hell, is very worthy of your most serious and prayerful consideration. You will never be delivered from your Sins any other way but THE CROSS, THE ATONEMENT, THE LAMB OF GOD which taketh away the Sin of the world. Christ died for your sins according to the Scriptures; He was buried, and He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Come then, as a guilty sinner, a penniless mendicant before God.  Bring no supposed goodness, no merits or righteousness of your own to JESUS. Come to Christ ASAP as a sinner, Rest on Him, Depend only on HIM, for JESUS is very willing and ready to freely Pardon your guilty Soul. 

You need to give your Soul's eternal needs careful consideration, or your ignorance and thoughtlessness will damn you. End your excuses, Look to Christ, Trust to HIM. Trust your Soul entirely to JESUS, The Son of God, Who suffered for your sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring you to God, being put to Death, but quickened by the Spirit. 

Turn your eyes away from yourself to JESUS' Finished Blood Atonement, and your Soul will find Peace with God. Hasten to The Lamb of God for Mercy. JESUS took all the blame for your sins, and died in your place, so you could go FREE. What are you going to do with JESUS? Salvation is ALL of Christ indeed, and nothing of you whatsoever.

You've been betrayed by man's religion and deceived by your own sinful nature. You were born in Sin, you have not believed on JESUS' Name and Blood, you are condemned already, as we speak. Your heart must be cured of Sin, or you will be damned. You will never meet God with acceptance the way you are by nature. The only Cure for your Sins is sincere Faith in the suffering Christ. 

If you are presently laboring under a sense of your sins and guilt, go straight to Sin's only Cure. The only Cure for your Sins is found in the bloody wounds of the Lamb of God. The only Cure for your dead Soul is the New Birth from the Spirit of God - Ye must be born again inwardly. The only Remedy for your Sins is the bleeding Substitute, Who suffered in your place, JESUS must be personally Believed on by you, and Received into your heart.

The way of Salvation is simply this: Come and Rest on Christ Himself, Depend wholly on His Precious Blood shed for your sins. Christ, only Christ, is the True Physician of the Soul, and His stripes and wounds are the only Remedy for a sin-sick Soul. The Crucified Creator is the sole and only Hope of an ungodly sinner like you. The sprinkling of a priest's holy water can never wash out the Sin stains ingrained in your depraved heart; religious confirmation can never impart Grace or infuse the divine nature into your Soul; water baptism can never help forgive your Sins; your church's water baptism will get you wetter, but you won't a bit better inwardly in the sight of God. Your dead works can never snatch your Soul from the fires of hell; the Mass cannot Propitiate God or Impute Righteousness upon your Soul. 

Your Trust must be only in JESUS, the sinless JESUS, the smitten JESUS, the bruised and crucified JESUS, the slain Lamb of God. JESUS is the Living God (Emmanuel), and the Substitute for filthy sinners. The only Remedy for your evil case is THE CROSS, flee to The Lamb of God Himself. The only Remedy for your doubts is the sprinkling of the Blood of the Lamb on your troubled heart and fretting brain. Effectual fervent prayer at THE CROSS will take of your heart of evil unbelief. 

If you desire to pray to God, you may pray. If you do not wish to pray, no one can force you—you have been given a free will. But do not speak lightly to God. If you pray, pray sincerely and from your heart. Come before Him honestly. Acknowledge your guilt as a sinner and confess that you deserve His judgment. Tell Him that you do not want to perish, but that you desire His mercy and forgiveness. Plead with God to save you for Jesus Christ's sake. Apart from Christ, there is no hope of salvation, for all who die in their sins must face the judgment of God and the Lake of Fire. But the good news is that Jesus died for sinners, especially you. He bore your sins upon the cross, shed His precious blood, and rose again so that your guilty soul might be forgiven and receive everlasting life. Jesus Christ is willing to save all who come to Him in faith. Do not delay; Come to Him now. Trust to HIM with all your heart, and receive the free gift of eternal life.

You are headed for a dreadful Judgment, that you cannot make it through without JESUS. You must trust God's Righteousness, or you will wind up in the Lake of Fire. Trust simply and only upon the Blood and Merits of the Lord Jesus Christ. May your Trust and Hope be fixed on nothing more, and nothing less, than JESUS' Finished Blood Atonement and Perfect Righteousness. Rely only on what Christ has done for sinners on THE CROSS, and you'll be OK.

SEND THE LIGHT 2

Conversion is a complete turning of the Soul by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is being turned from self-righteousness to the Righteousness of Christ, from self-dependence to Christ-dependence, from carelessness to godly concern, from the love of the world to the pursuit of heaven, and from the practice of sin to a life of holiness.

True conversion involves faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and repentance—a turning away from sin, self-righteousness, and every false refuge, and a turning unto God. It is not merely a change of opinion or outward behavior, but a supernatural work of the Spirit of God in the heart.

In conversion, God creates within a person a clean heart, renews the spirit, and transforms the mind. The converted soul is brought to see the exceeding sinfulness of sin, to grieve over offenses committed against God and others, and to desire reconciliation with both. It is the gracious work of God whereby a sinner is made a new creature in Christ and begins to walk in newness of life.

Ye must be Born Again: Forsake your old ways, and be turned from Sin by the Holy Spirit. Regeneration is the Holy Spirit implanting His divine nature into your heart by His divine power. All true Conversion and Regeneration is solely the work of the Spirit of God. Put your trust in Christ alone, forsake your old way of life, and become a new creature in Christ, or you must perish in your sins. Ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, for JESUS' sake. No outward works or outward form of worship will ever help save your immortal Soul. 

Faith in GOD'S BLOOD completely, entirely, perfectly, and forever saves the Soul to the Uttermost - All the way. Therefore, never place the slightest confidence in yourself, your works, your feelings and experiences, your religion, your righteousness, or your efforts. Rest wholly upon Christ alone. When God delivered Israel from Egypt with a mighty hand, He declared, "When I see the blood, I will pass over you." The safety of the Israelites was not found in their feelings, their sincerity, or their works, but in the blood of the lamb applied according to God's command. So it is with you sinner today. God does not ask, "How good are you?" or "What have you done?" The great question is: Have you trusted in the Blood of His Son? The Lord Jesus Christ is the true PASSOVER LAMB OF GOD Who shed GOD'S BLOOD, He offered up Himself as a Sacrifice for sinners upon the Cross. Through His atoning sacrifice of Himself, JESUS made full satisfaction for sin and opened the way of salvation to all who believe in HIM. 

The Blood of Christ is sufficient for the vilest sinner and powerful enough to cleanse from all sin. Those who trust in Him are justified, forgiven, accepted, and delivered from the wrath to come. The most important question you will ever answer is this: What will you do with Jesus who is called Christ? Will you reject Him, neglect Him, or Receive HIM by Faith as your personal Lord and Savior?

Sin is a God-killing thing; Sin doesn't want God around; Sin wants God dead. Every violation of God's Law is high treason committed by you. Your sins are a stabbing at God's deity. Sin says, "Let there be no God." Sin makes this world a Hell above ground. Every sin is a crucifixion of Christ, a mockery, scourging, and nailing of Christ. Every sin is an insult against the good and kind God. As you continue in Sin, you live in daily revolt against your Maker. You curse at God, despise Christ, ignore and deny the Holy Spirit. You reject the Father's great Salvation found only in His Son, which JESUS willingly came into this world to work out for you by laying down His sinless Life for you. JESUS is the kind, good, and blessed Savior Who shed His sinless Blood for your wicked sins. 

Did you know this? JESUS shed GOD'S OWN BLOOD on THE CROSS, so your sins could be FREELY forgiven. Please don't prefer your sins to the Savior. There's no profit in sinning against God; don't surrender your life and soul to the devil for he is a hard taskmaster. If you trust Christ today, all your iniquities shall be blotted out eternally, and your past shall not be remembered, you present safe, and your future eternally secure. Don't choose eternal Doom. Repent of what you have done in the dark. Do not go back to your sins after reading this. You can be entirely forgiven through Christ's Precious Blood Atonement. The very moment you stop trusting in yourself, and trust only to JESUS, your many sins will be all gone, and gone forever. But until then, your future is a black and dismal Doom without JESUS. 

You must hate your Sins, or God will hate you. You must turn or Burn in Hell. Leave your sins and go to THE CROSS, or hold on to your sins and go to Hell where you really belong; it must be one or the other. There must be a final Divorce between you and your sins, or there can be no marriage to Christ. Loathe your Sins, hate your ungodliness and lusts. If you choose to keep your sins, you shall be damned. Leave your sins behind, lay hold of JESUS, put all your Trust in HIM. Let JESUS wash your Soul cleaning in GOD'S BLOOD, Let JESUS wrap your Soul in His RIGHTEOUSNESS, the only fire-proof garment out in Eternity. 

Down with you, away with your evil self-righteousness. Lie flat on your face before the Lamb of God, seek the Mercies of God through His Precious Blood. Turn your heart and look to the Crucified Creator, put your heart's Trust in HIM who was slain for the ungodly sinner. Your Soul must Ransomed, Redeemed, Pardoned freely by the Savior's Innocent Blood and Converted/Regenerated by the Holy Ghost/Spirit of Christ. Trust in the Ransom of GOD'S BLOOD. The only way to get rid of your doubts and unbelief is to simply fall into Christ's arms, trusting only in His Blood and Righteousness; He will keep your Soul very safe under His protective wings. 

Never forget this Central Gospel Truth: It is only GOD'S BLOOD that saves the Soul, not your religion's water or your dead evil works. Free Salvation by GOD's BLOOD, and nothing else. Get it right: The only way of Salvation is by Faith in GOD'S BLOOD. Without shedding of Blood, there is no remission of sins. If you sense your guilt, cast your Soul on Christ at once. All of your very best works will not bring your Soul one millimeter closer to God. Only GOD'S BLOOD can Reconcile your Soul back to God. If you're really Guilty, this is what you're looking for, if you've been bitten by Sin, the sure Remedy for your Soul is to Look to the Lamb of God, He offered up Himself for your Sins on THE CROSS. JESUS took your sins upon Himself, and died in your place as the Substitute for sinners. 

Stop looking in vain: Your sins' Remedy is found in GOD'S BLOOD, and nowhere else. Look unto the Crucified and Risen God, and be ye saved to the uttermost. Don't play the Fool, and laugh at your sins' only Remedy, and die and go to Hell. Sinning is waste of your life, you are currently in the kingdom of darkness, a child of Satan, taken captive in your sins, drifting down the black river to eternal destruction. The one and only Remedy for Sins as evil as yours are is CHRIST CRUCIFIED, THE ATONEMENT, THE CROSS, THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF GOD. Whosoever believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ hath Everlasting Life. GOD's BLOOD is the only Medicine in the hand of the Great Physician for sin-sick Souls. You are diseased by Sin within, you are perishing as the clock ticks, and Christ Himself is your only HOPE. If you die in sins and unbelief, you must face eternal damnation. God be Merciful to me a sinner, for JESUS' SAKE.

*THE RELIGION-ITE*

The self-righteous religionite would gladly do almost anything to earn eternal life - Anything except coming to JESUS CHRIST as a guilty sinner, and receiving HIM by Faith into their own heart. But according to the Gospel of the Grace of God, a sinner cannot contribute one speck of human goodness or feeling to his own salvation. Fallen sinful man would rather trust in his own efforts than bow before the Savior in helpless dependence. Yet the Gospel of the Grace of God declares that salvation is not earned, purchased, assisted, or completed by human merit. The sinner contributes nothing to his Justification except the sins that made his Justification most necessary.

The confused religionist places his confidence in convictions, ceremonies, experiences, duties, ordinances, and countless religious "its." He looks to things he has done, things he has felt and experienced, places he has visited, and rituals he has performed. Anything but Christ Jesus alone. Religion is human effort to become acceptable to God; Religion is man's attempt to reach God without God's power and help. Religion is sinful man's vain attempt to reconcile himself back to God by his own way and works. Religion is man's attempt to get out of receiving Christ and giving Him the glory. Religion is self-righteous man trying to cover up his sins from God in his own way. Religion is human effort trying to get rid of his crimes from the God the Judge of all the Earth. 

Religion is man's attempt to make himself acceptable to God through his own efforts. It is the sinner's endeavor to reach God without the power, grace, and provision of God Himself through the RIGHTEOUSNESS AND BLOOD ATONEMENT of Emmanuel (God with us). Religion is sinful humanity seeking reconciliation with its Creator by its own methods, merits, ceremonies, and works rather than through the Finished Blood Atonement of Christ.

At its heart, religion is self-righteous man attempting to avoid complete dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ and the glory due to Him alone. It is the effort of guilty sinners to cover their sins with fig leaves of their own making instead of receiving the RIGHTEOUSNESS that God freely provides through Christ Jesus. Religion is man's futile attempt to erase his guilt before the holy Judge of all the Earth through personal performance, moral reform, rituals, or religious observances. Yet no human work can remove a single sin, justify a guilty soul, or bring peace with God. Salvation is not achieved by what man does for God, but by what God has done for sinners through the Substitutionary Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Human nature loves second-hand superficial religion by proxy, so dearly. The natural man loves a religion which consists in a great measure of outward forms, emotions, traditions, visible observances, and feelings. The lost worldlings delights in any external religion that is shrouded in mystery - A religion system that it cannot fully comprehend, one they can hardly understand and never figure out, and one that impresses the senses and flatters the flesh. The lost man is fond of an outward formal worship (solemn or emotional) and religious pageantry, sacred objects. 

The carnal mind that cannot endure heart worship or believe the simple Gospel. They must have a clergy man of some sort dressed up in his religious garb; they must have an earthly human priest, smoking thuribles, fancy garb, magnificent architecture, gilded altars, exquisite oratory, holy days, sacred places, sprinklings, ornate garments, impressive cathedrals, strict observances, right forms, crucifixes, chancel, relics, organs, pomp, rosaries, candles, elegance, holy wafers, holy water, holy wine, holy oil, and every variety of outward religious nonsense.  They must have something with a crucifix on it to make them feel like they're closer to God. 

The lost religionite loves a human priest to think and pray for him, and do his religion on his behalf. Vain man has invented mechanical forms and dead modes of religion in order to get away from the Necessity of really and personally receiving Christ into your own heart. The religionist loves dead worship, and goes through the motions, listens to a homily, go to the mass, takes the sacrament, without any real thought personal Trust in the SAVIOR.

The carnal mind cannot endure the simplicity of the Gospel. It cannot tolerate the necessity of coming directly to God through Jesus Christ. Instead, it seeks earthly mediators, religious specialists/proxies, and elaborate systems designed to stand between the soul and God. Sinful man would rather have another person think, pray, and worship on his behalf than personally humble himself before the Lord Jesus Christ. Sin deceives and destroys the Soul that loves Sin and works Iniquity.

To escape the necessity of truly receiving Christ Himself into the heart, lost religionists have invented countless forms of mechanical religion. They attend services, listen to sermons, observe sacraments, repeat prayers and vain repetitions, and perform their religious duties, all while remaining strangers to real saving Faith in Christ Jesus. They go through the many religious motions without ever personally trusting on/receiving the Savior.

The natural man loves complicated ceremonies and human mediaries, because they allow him to remain religious in the sight of man without being SAVED in the sight of God. They like the priest/minister to stand up before them like some superior being, and deal with God for them. Lost men want a man-made religion, that does not interfere with their sinning throughout the week. He desires a religion that leaves his heart unchanged and his sins undisturbed. Human nature prefers a faith it can begin, maintain, and complete by its own strength. The unregenerate man delights in religious creeds, traditions, denominational loyalties, while neglecting the very Words of Eternal Life straight from the Living God. They have no INWARD LIFE deep within them, that comes from above, but they are most zealous for outward observances/ceremonies. 

The Conviction-ite loves a vain worship of show and garb and endless religious regulations. Men must have a religion they can see, hear, feel, and taste. The Religionite lives a vain outward show; he will not eat anything but fish on Fridays, but he forgets God through the week, cheats his customer or neighbor on Saturday, and then commit acts of injustice in his daily business, and filthy deeds in secret. Friendly Reminder: Your most secret thoughts and deeds are all known to the All-Seeing God (Proverbs 15:3) The religionite is very careful about church attendance and religious ceremonies, but very careless and thoughtless about his Soul and Christ saving Him from the wrath to come. They display religion publicly while cherishing sin privately. They may observe religious regulations, attend sacred services, and maintain a respectable appearance, yet harbor dishonesty, pride, lust, envy, and unbelief within. Yet the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good (Proverbs 15:3).

The carnal mind (the flesh) loves a religion that permit him to lust, cheat, and swear as he pleases while preserving respectability. The religionist loves the glories of a ceremony, the splendor of the mass, and gorgeously appareled priests. Men will kneel down many times, and for a pretense make long prayer, perform public Acts of devotion to be seen and heard of men, yet REFUSE the secret worship of a broken and contrite spirit before God. Human religion refuses to enter the closet, close the door, and in secret, bow at an unseen altar and worship the invisible God in spirit and in Truth through Jesus Christ. Human nature forgets God, neglects Christ Himself, and disregards the Holy Spirit all day, all week, all month, all year long. He neglects God throughout the week and imagines that occasional religious observances compensate for his daily rebellion. The natural man has a self-destructive thirst for the sewage of Sin and Vice, and refuses godly sincerity and inward purity. The Cain-ite seeks acceptance with God through his own efforts. He wants a religion that he can achieve and control. He wants a righteousness that get by his own works and efforts. Religionists want their priest/minister to deal with things pertaining to Eternity and for them to remain abstract and distant rather than personal and Urgent. He outright refuses to go to God personally through Christ Jesus. Your Sins are not an abstraction, but your Sins will ruin your life, harden your heart, and if you're not careful, your Sins will soon doom and damn your Soul Eternally. 

Human nature clings stubbornly to man-made ceremonies, and depends upon itself. The carnal mind can never tolerate a personal God, the plain naked Truth of the Gospel, and Simple Faith in the Savior's Finished Blood Atonement for lost sinners. Men hate to change their religion, and refuse to abandon their false beliefs, because they DO NOT want to be changed inwardly. Human nature thinks it's pretty good, and that it can earn its own forgiveness and acceptance with God. If you still love your sins privately, you have a religion you'd better get rid of. Natural religion resides in the head, but never reaches the heart. The religionite loves a surface religion with no Grace and Purity deep within the inward parts of his heart. He imagines himself to be good enough to earn God's favor, while Scripture declares, that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Natural religion produces much self-righteous activity without LIFE, form without POWER, and profession without POSSESSION OF CHRIST. It creates religious people who know about God, but do not know God personally/inwardly; they have a false "form of godliness", but deny the POWER thereof.

The Ittite will tell you this: "You know, you must live IT to get to Heaven." Yet he can never clearly define what "IT" actually is. His superficial faith rests upon an undefined standard of personal performance. The Ittite worships an "IT" of his own devising, and he winds up in hell with his "IT" for all Eternity.  He trusts in a vague system of self-improvement rather than in the Finished Work (ATONEMENT) of Christ. Such religiousness is built upon unpredictable human effort and sustained by human energy (carnal show and excitement) —a flimsy house of cards that cannot withstand the judgment of God.  

The self-righteous religionite has little room in his thoughts for the Sinner's Savior, the Justifier of the ungodly, Who laid down His life for sinners, is nothing to them. The religionite imagines salvation is primarily for the respectable, the morally upright, and outwardly religious; not harlots, drunkards, inmates, thieves, adulterers, and fornicators. The respectable religionite who keeps his denomination's set of rules imagines he has no need to lay hold on THE CROSS covered in GOD'S OWN BLOOD. The religionist loves surpliced choirs, colorful banners, glorious processions, pompous ceremonies, enchanting music, and bewitching incense. The religionite supposes his own righteousness can be mixed with Christ's spotless RIGHTEOUSNESS to help save him from his innumerable sins and secure his acceptance before God. Lust destroys millions, but self-righteousness destroys billions of souls. You desperately need the Righteousness of Another, that will pass the Inspection of the great Judge of all the Earth at the last day. Poor sinner, never imagine can assist Christ in saving your sinful Soul. Beware of trying to mix your works with Christ's Finished WORK (ATONEMENT), the Full Price of Redemption. Nothing of yours will ever be added to Christ's Atoning Sacrifice of HIMSELF.

Every day God sees all the things you do, and ALL the things you fail to do. You need GRACE indeed, for you are Guilty indeed; You need MERCY indeed, for you are Filthy indeed. JESUS was perfectly GOOD, and you are NOT. JESUS lived sinlessly for 33 years, but you can't go 33 seconds without sinning against God in thought, word, or deed. Eternal Goodness (RIGHTEOUSNESS) can only be credited freely to your Soul's account based on what JESUS did FOR YOU, not on what you have done, or ever will do. Christ's Righteousness alone satisfies ALL the demands of divine justice. Humble yourself, and admit to God, that you're no good at all. 

It's about time for you to face THE FACTS: Look honestly in the mirror of The Holy Bible, Look unto Jesus Christ Himself directly into His face, and see yourself in truth, compare your thoughts, motives, words, and deeds of the past to the Holy Law of God and to the sinless Life of Christ. JESUS did GOOD for you, and He will give you His GOODNESS, if you will repent and abandon all confidence in your goodness righteousness: TRUST Only to CHRIST. You must be saved freely just like the old janitor lady nobody notices, or the young school boy who can't read or write yet. 

Jesus did for sinners what sinners could never do for themselves. JESUS lived the sinless life you have failed to live; HE died the horrible death, that you deserved to die, and rose again victorious from the dead over sin and death. God freely offers CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS to all sinners, whosoever will repent of their own way, and trust in Christ Alone shall have Eternal Life.

For other foundation can no man lay, than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ the RIGHTEOUS. Your good works are good for nothing. Whosoever believeth in JESUS is not condemned, but whosoever believeth not on JESUS is condemned already. JESUS is able also to save them to the uttermost who come unto God by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them. Trust Jesus Only, and HE will save your Soul completely, immediately, and eternally.

SEND THE LIGHT 1

Human nature says, "If I go to Heaven, I will go my own way, I will take my chances with my faith tradition, I will deny myself, I will do my own inner work on myself, I will do my penance, and help out my neighbor, I will perform the outward ceremonies of my religion. Tell me something to do, I will do it, and I will be proud to do it, so that I can at the last win favor with God on my own terms. Are all my good works to go for nothing? Do you mean to tell me that all my religion is wrong and in vain, and that my mother and grandmother may be in hell?" I don't like this Gospel; I don't understand it; it is too humbling, too simple, too easy, too free, for me. " The Holy Bible says, You are less than nothing. The Holy Bible says, if you ever get to Heaven, you must go through THE WAY (John 14:6), that is, through what Christ did on THE CROSS for sinners, through Faith in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of CHRIST Himself. 

Nothing but the Holy Spirit Himself can ever bring a lost man to strip himself of all his self-righteousness, and only the Spirit of God's still small VOICE can persuade the sinner to rest and repose simply and wholly upon Christ Jesus the Savior. The lost soul who is rich in his own goodness WILL NOT come to Christ; he will not be saved the same way as a harlot or criminal. With all your self-goodness and self-help, you're still no better off right now than the whore that worked all last night on Bourbon and Canal Street. Your soul's Conversion and heart's Salvation must be ALL OF GOD, inwardly - this is the humbling Truth of the Gospel. Salvation must be ALL OF CHRIST, ALL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; the Gospel humbles the self-righteous sinner into the dust. Human nature has a desperate tendency to be proud, self-willed, and forget God every day. O what an ETERNAL MESS you will be in, if you keep on rejecting Christ, and die in your Sins.

The Gospel of the Grace of God is the Good News of Substitution: JESUS CHRIST, the Son of God became a man with flesh and blood, but His Blood was God's Blood, JESUS was conceived of the Holy Ghost. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, that He might take the Punishment sinners ought to have suffered. JESUS bore Sin in His own body, and He bore the Wrath of God which sinners deserved. JESUS took the guilt sinners committed upon Himself, and now any sinner who puts his Trust in that Substitution can escape the eternal punishment of his sins. For God's divine justice cannot demand payment twice, first at the Lamb of God's hands, and then again at the sinner's hands. JESUS was the only Substitute in human history for human sin and guilt. Receive JESUS Himself as your Substitute, your Salvation, your Hope. 

Mother Nature is the world's goddess of creation. Lady Luck is the world's goddess of gambling. Mother Mary is the world's goddess of religion. Self-righteous human nature strives to will its own salvation by its own imaginations and doings. Human nature refuses to face the three FACTS: The WORDS of God, The BLOOD of God, and the SPIRIT of God. The lost man who trusts in his own righteousness completely or partly will wind up perishing eternally in his vain boastings and evil doings. You're too proud to be saved by Divine Charity; to come to Christ as a sinner, and only Trust HIM to spare your Soul, to have done with saving yourself, and let JESUS do it ALL. Not in yourself whatsoever, but in JESUS is All your HELP found. 

Christ Jesus does not seek for any qualification, morality, or righteousness in you, for you have none. You may be good, moral, generous, honest in your own eyes; there may be a few good traits about your character that render you 'good' to your relatives and friends, but by Nature, but in God's sight, you're not one bit better than the vilest of the vile. Only the LORD JESUS CHRIST can Rescue your Soul from such a terrible doom that now awaits you out in Eternity. You should be trembling at the evil of your sins, and the goodness of God towards you up to this very moment. 

Lost, ruined, helpless sinner, exposed to God's wrath right now - Find SHELTER in Christ at once. Trusting in GOD'S BLOOD that flowed from Christ's veins, without anything else, freely justifies the guilty Soul. But human nature says: "I've always gone to church on Easter and Christmas; I don't owe anyone anything; I pay my bills; I am moral and upright in my community; I have observed all the sacraments; I only eat fish on Fridays; I fast during Lent; I give to charities; I do the best I can." The damnation of the openly ungodly is very sure, but so is yours, if your prefer your own righteousness over the Righteousness of God, Who is JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS. You WILL NOT take God's free Salvation by Faith in GOD'S BLOOD, so you will surely perish in willful PRIDE. Human merit and Christ's MERIT: the two can never be mixed together. 

Your poor soul is suffering now under the disease and curse of SIN; you desperately need the Divine Aid of the Great Physician from above. Most of All, You need GRACE, FAITH, and BLOOD directly from GOD. Confess your guilt to God; humble yourself before JESUS CHRIST; Fear God and His Divine Justice; Appeal to God's Mercy through the Precious Blood of Emmanuel. The Gospel is very humbling, but it is Very Saving as well. The Gospel empties you, but JESUS fills you; The Gospel strips you, but JESUS clothes you. The Gospel reveals your filthiness, but JESUS cleanses you with HIS OWN BLOOD. 

FAITH sent from God above kills human PRIDE, but it heals the sin-sick Soul. If your Soul is ever Saved, you must be saved Freely, for the GIFT of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ THE LORD. You must be Saved by the Love and Blood of God, not by any of your own doings. Salvation is All of GRACE from first to last; JESUS loved, lived, bled, died, rose again from the dead, for your soul's Salvation. God's Salvation and Justification is All of Grace, and your Damnation and Condemnation is All of your Sins. Come to JESUS for Everything; HE is the WAY, the whole WAY, nothing but the WAY. JESUS is the FREE WAY, nothing to pay, nothing to do, All of Grace, the Gift of God for the ungodly. All for Nothing, or nothing at all. You're getting closer to Death and the Judgment by the minute. Are you Ready for your Doomsday?

The SAVIOR is God manifest in the flesh; He came down from Heaven and became a poor Jewish man for your sake; JESUS was virgin born, and at the last, He bore your Sins in His body on THE CROSS; He bore the full wrath of God in your place, He bled and died for you, He loved you to Death. Salvation is All of Rich Grace and Pure Free Mercy: Full Atonement by GOD'S BLOOD; Reconciliation through the Lamb of God's Substitutionary Sacrifice of Himself to put away your Sins; Free Redemption through the Innocent BLOOD of the Incarnate Creator. Simply trust in Christ Alone, and you shall be given instantaneous, perfect, free, everlasting Pardon and Peace with God. Salvation is The Free Gift from the Gracious God to undeserving sinners who Trust in JESUS' BLOOD alone. All freely given, real Pardon for real sins, Everlasting Life, you may have at once. The Gospel freely provides the full CHRIST to empty sinners, Present Pardon on Earth, and Eternal Glory in Heaven. Pardon is freely given only at JESUS' feet for the worst and vilest, and is being given out right now. The wisest thing you'll ever do is Willingly Yield your Soul and Sins up to JESUS; Submit to HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; Trustingly Receive JESUS deep inside you; then Do Right, for JESUS' SAKE.

THE REAL QUESTION

Out in Eternity, When the Judgment is Set, and the books are opened in the Day of Wrath and Revelation of the Righteous Judgment of God; When God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ; When every secret thing and idle word is brought into Judgment before God; When you stand all alone before your Holy Creator, and are summoned to give account of your entire thought life, and to receive the just recompense and due reward of your evil deeds; When you personally meet your MAKER face to face, and stand in shame and everlasting contempt before THE ALMIGHTY; Who will then Bear your guilt, Plead your Case before The Judge of all the Earth, and Answer to The Lord God Almighty for all your Sins: YOU, or THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?

*SOUND WORDS 9*

But Now Once in the end of the world, hath JESUS appeared to put away Sin by the Sacrifice of HIMSELF. He offered up Himself; He loved you, and gave Himself for you; Behold the LAMB OF GOD which taketh away the sin of the world. Now Be Wise: Trust in nothing, or no one, but JESUS CHRIST Now. The way of Salvation lies in simply looking to JESUS CHRIST. Come to JESUS and Live; if you stay away from Him, you will die in your sins and perish in perdition and suffer the wrath to come eternally. Only JESUS can free your captive Soul from the snares and power of Sin. The way of Salvation is simply this, Trust Christ, and you are Saved, right where you are, just as you are, Rely upon Him, never in yourself. With no other Dependence, Rest on HIM wholly Now. Human nature is very fond of Sin, and not willing to give it up, and so self-righteous that it doesn't think it needs to be saved from Sin's curse. There is a Hell in the world to come, and you will surely go there, if you are not Regenerated and Converted by the Holy Spirit inwardly. Ye Must Be Born Again of the Spirit inwardly, or there is no hope for you in the hereafter. Without the inward work of the Holy Spirit, no Soul can enter the KINGdom of God.

You don't have to do 39 things to be saved; Stop trying to get yourself ready for Christ, for that is the Law, and not the Gospel. The Gospel says, Trust JESUS CHRIST Now, Rely only on His Blood and Works. All of your works are dead and tainted with sin, and unable to justify you before your Holy Creator. Believe God's words, Believe that your Maker cannot lie, Trust only to His Son: Whosoever believeth on the Son of God hath Everlasting Life. Trust only in GOD's PRECIOUS BLOOD, that flowed from JESUS' wounds on THE CROSS, with all thine heart, at once. Cease from Sin and Self; Depend upon JESUS' sinless merits; Take Him at His word; Rest upon His Promise to give Eternal Life freely; Rely upon the Atoning Blood Sacrifice of Himself for you; Rest in His Perfect Righteousness. The Gospel in a Nutshell: Renounce your false righteousness, and Receive Christ's True RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Come to JESUS ASAP, and Receive Him inwardly by simple Faith in His Person and Blood. When you come to JESUS, you don't have to bring anything with you, except your Sins. Just come to THE CROSS, and Take Christ Freely. These five words are the death-knell of all self-salvation by human effort: YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN! Remember Now: It is not what you are, but it's Who Christ Jesus IS, and What He has DONE/FINISHED, that saves your sinful Soul. Never look at yourself, only and always LOOK to the Wounds and Blood of JESUS. There is Life Eternal only in GOD'S PRECIOUS BLOOD. (Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 1:19) Always remember, never forget: your best works are all dross and dung. None but JESUS Himself can save a lost sinner. May the Holy Spirit send the glorious Light of the Gospel into your benighted Soul, and make you truly aware of your dreadful state. If you want to truly despair, just look within the darkness of yourself, but if you want Hope, Look to the Son of God Who laid down His life, so His ungodly enemies may not perish in their sins.

To BELIEVE is to TRUST. And what must you TRUST? You must trust that God is Holy and He must punish every Sin, so He sent JESUS to pay the awful Price for your sins against God. JESUS is God manifest in the flesh, that is, JEHOVAH became a poor Jewish man; He lived a sinless life and always pleased the Father, and then at the last, the Father laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all, JESUS suffered in the sinner's place bearing our sins in His own body on the TREE, and now whosoever believes in HIM shall be forgiven freely, because God the Father punished Christ instead of sinners at Calvary. THE LAMB OF GOD became Sin itself, He became a CURSE, He bore our sins and God's wrath, as He was bleeding and dying on THE CROSS for you. If you rebel and do not Receive Jesus Christ, you shall surely receive the due reward of your deeds?

Christ's Substitution was for you, and He will save you, if you just let Him. Yield to THE LAMB OF GOD, Submit to His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and it will be WELL with your Soul. To come to JESUS is the one and only way of Salvation. For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Who gave HIMSELF a RANSOM for ALL, that includes you. Coming to Christ means first to turn away and forsake all confidence in yourself and in others, and trusting alone in JESUS' FINISHED BLOOD ATONEMENT for human sins. 

Divorce yourself from the love of sin and self, and go to JESUS now. Come right away from trusting in yourself, utterly abhor all hope of Salvation from yourself. Come to JESUS with your mind, your will, your heart, and just Rest in Him, simply Depend upon what JESUS has done. JESUS saves all sinners from their eternal death penalty, that put their simple Trust on HIM. The one Needful thing is not your doings, but you coming to Christ personally, and trusting only to HIM, this must take the lead. Personally Look sincerely to JESUS by Faith until He enters your heart, and changes and cleanses you deep within. It is useless to attempt to help save yourself. Rest the whole weight of your Soul upon Christ; throw yourself completely on JESUS.  If you trust CHRIST, no eternal death penalty will fall on you. Your sin debt will be paid by Christ's Innocent Blood, and God cannot punish you, for God is Just and Righteous, and He cannot demand from you what JESUS has already endured on the Cross for your sake. 

Simple helpless Dependence upon God's dear Son. The way of Salvation is very plain, so easy, simple and clear, and very near at hand. Whosoever believes in JESUS is Justified from all things, by Faith in GOD's PRECIOUS BLOOD. Acquaint yourself with the Gospel, read the Scriptures, see who Christ IS, see what Christ has done for you. Come Personally to the LAMB OF GOD Who shed GOD'S OWN BLOOD to save your immortal Soul from the wrath to come. 

Trust only in the Crucified and Risen Creator. True Saving Faith is simply trusting and looking to Christ for Everything. Saving Faith is your Receiving Christ into your Emptiness. Come to JESUS and Receive Him Now, do not procrastinate, come to Him immediately, just where you are, just as you are. The whole Way of Salvation is to Trust only to GOD'S PRECIOUS BLOOD shed by the LAMB OF GOD, Christ Jesus Himself. That being done by you personally, you are Born Again and Safe Forever. But Now Once in the end of the world, hath JESUS appeared to put away Sin by the Sacrifice of HIMSELF. He offered up Himself; He loved you, and gave Himself for you; Behold the LAMB OF GOD which taketh away the sin of the world. 

*SOUNDS WORDS 8*

JEHOVAH JESUS is God manifest in the flesh; He shed GOD'S PRECIOUS BLOOD to make ATONEMENT for human sins. Christ's Atonement is the death-blow to all self-righteousness. Take a few moments, and listen with your whole heart to the GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD. You better get it RIGHT, here and Now, for Once your Soul enters ETERNITY unprepared/unforgiven, there's no coming back into TIME for your doomed Soul.

Human nature rises up and rebels against the restraints of the divine Law. BUT when the COMMANDMENT comes home to your Soul, by the working of the Holy Spirit, your Sins are revived, and sinful human nature is excited to rebellion, against the demands and strict boundaries of the divine Law. Even your filthy imaginations are sinful and condemn you in the sight of God. So evil is human nature, that is conceives at once the desire to commit an act, simply because it is forbidden. Human nature always desires what it may not have, longs to be able to do the forbidden. Human sin rebels against the holy, just, good Laws of the God of heaven. 

Your poor homeless Soul needs a SAFE dwelling place. There is only one Safe House for the Sinner who feels his inward Misery. Do you need a Homeless SHELTER for your Soul? (Psalm 61:3) The Rent there is Free; JESUS will love your Soul Freely; Without money and without price. Free Rent is something less than proud human nature is willing to accept. Salvation received from JESUS is without money and without price. Lost Human nature can't handle the TRUTH, and THE CROSS is grotesque and incomprehensible to the carnal mind, because deep down it loves darkness rather than THE LIGHT, Christ Jesus Himself. Human nature wants to help pay its own rent with its counterfeit pennies. Human nature loves to attempt to do something to rescue itself. You have magnified yourself against the Lord Jesus Christ by rejecting and neglecting HIM. You cannot have Shelter then, for it is only for Free, this Shelter is for those Souls that Have Nothing to Pay. And remember, there is no other Shelter in the entire universe where your Soul can dwell Safely Eternally. 

You must enter this Safe House freely for all Eternity with nothing to pay for it. Will you take JESUS and dwell in HIM freely throughout all Eternity? I beseech you, Please come inside where it is Safe from the storm of eternal death. This House is fully furnished from top to bottom with all your Soul may need or want: Christ Himself, Rest, Peace, Bread, Cleansing, Gold, Brotherly Love. The Key to this House is Faith in God's Blood. There is a Heavenly Garment of RIGHTEOUSNESS inside to cover your naked Soul. Even though you are Guilty and Condemned, JESUS will make you fully accepted to dwell inside. You are absolutely no good, but JESUS can make you GOOD, wash you, clothe you, adopt you, redeem you, for JESUS' SAKE. 

Rest your everlasting hope upon the bloody death and resurrection of the Son of God from the dead. Believe in thine heart that Jesus Christ bled, died, and rose again from the dead for you. Place your entire Dependence upon the merit of His Blood certified by the fact of His raising from the dead. Dependence upon Christ alone is your only escape from Hell. Make your Soul's resting place the person of Christ Jesus. Run for Cover; Come to Jesus and Receive Him into thine heart. My only Dependence is upon Almighty God Incarnate, Jesus Christ; By Whom all things were created, and by Whom all things consist. 

Lay down your self-righteous weapons; Lean very hard with all the weight of your Soul and Sins. Have much Dependence upon God manifest in the flesh, Receive Him personally deep into your being, and ask Him to Regenerate/Convert you inwardly. Resting on JESUS' ATONEMENT alone, Depending on His living Person wholly. Trust JESUS implicitly and sincerely, Receive Him Now, and you are Reconciled to God by His Precious Blood at once. Yield to the Gospel of Christ, Believe, that is, TRUST on the shed blood of the Man who died on the Cross of Calvary to make Atonement for your sins, and now He ever liveth to make intercession. 

Down with human religion and rituals, down with your pretensions to good works which are only dross and dung. Away with your accursed and idolatrous dependence upon yourself. Christ has already finished Salvation's work. JESUS Finished Salvation altogether on THE CROSS (John 19:30).  Hold not up your filthy rags in competition with Christ's spotless RIGHTEOUSNESS. All by Himself, Christ has borne the Curse of your Sins for you; he doesn't need your help. Bring not your pitiful works, for your doings are riddled with filth. Be honest with yourself, you're no good: God knows who you really are inwardly and in private, when no one else was around watching. 

Never try to mingle your dead works and selfish efforts with God's Precious Blood. Lay down all that is your own, and come and take what is Christ's. Put away now everything that you have thought of being or doing. You can never win Acceptance with God by any of your doings. Come and Rest in Christ's Blood Atonement, and your Soul is saved/spared from the wrath to come, and all your sins are forgiven forever at once. The night cometh, so come to JESUS now, while there is still time. Stop putting JESUS off; your Sins must taken care of before your Soul enters Eternity, the world to come. As sure as Winter comes to the Earth, so Death will come to you, be wise, come before Winter. There are no acts or maneuvers of yours by which Death can be deferred or prevented, or by which Judgment can be postponed or altogether adjourned. 

Don't think in your vain mind that all men are mortal, but yourself. Very soon, your eyes will grow dim, your ears will become dull, your limbs will grow old and stiff, your pulse will become unstable, and your brain feeble, and at the last, your corpse shall stop breathing, blinking, and beating. Think yourself nothing, because you are nothing, you only live day by day by God's Help. Come to JESUS as a sinner, so vile and full of Sins. Christ died for Sinners, I am a Sinner, LORD JESUS, please sprinkle my Precious Blood on my filthy Soul, I am Vile, please wash me throughly from my Sins, all I want is you JESUS, please rule over me and give me your PEACE. The worse you are the better: only go directly to JESUS as a poor, naked, filthy, bankrupt, wretched, empty, vile, guilty, lost, dead Sinner. There is nothing required in you to come to JESUS, except your desperate need of the Savior. The Gospel is only for those sinners who realize there need of the Savior. Reject your sinful self, and Receive Christ into thine heart Now. 

All sinners should be onboard; this is the final boarding call for all sinners departing on Flight 777 to New Jerusalem. All remaining sinners should proceed immediately to the strait Gate; the Door will be closing shortly.

After you have personally received Christ in your own heart; then come forth publicly, confess your full Trust in JESUS' Blood Atonement, be baptized publicly to thank JESUS out of loving gratitude to Him, acknowledge and yield yourself to be JESUS' servant and disciple.
