For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich (II Corinthians 8:9).
You've sinned against God; you know you have, your own conscience condemns you. You've wandered far away from God and wasted many precious years. Years you've spent in vanity and pride caring not the Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified. God is holy and just, and your sin deserves the justice and wrath of God. You’ve rejected Christ, lied, and lusted. God sees your thought life at all times; and your thoughts of foolishness are sin. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Your sins deserve the death penalty – eternal death in Hell. All have sinned; the soul that sinneth, it shall die; the wages of sin is death; but Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Christ died for the ungodly.
But now God hath commanded all men everywhere to repent: Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that God hath raised Him from the dead, even Jesus Christ. Ye must be born again; this is what really matters. There's no race of man on earth that has an advantage with God, no one has an edge, no one can pull strings with God, for all have sinned. You have no advantage over anyone else of gaining entrance to Heaven. Every man needs the Savior. The Gospel is not for those who think they live a good life, or those who have an upstanding reputation, or those who are chaste in the eyes of man. You don't do good works to get into Heaven and be accepted by God. Getting into heaven is not a matter of what you've done, it is a matter of what Christ has done. You can't be saved by being good because you're a sinner, and you can't be un-saved by being bad. Spiritual safety comes by becoming personally and properly related to Christ Himself through the New Birth (John 3:7). Salvation is not found in your blood-line; Salvation is found only in Christ's sinless blood Atonement.
You’re a sinner under the wrath of God condemned to an everlasting Hell. Your good works are no good, you cannot save yourself. But GOD became a Man 2,000 years ago; His name was Jesus Christ. He who was rich became poor, that ye through His poverty might be made rich. The King of glory left His throne to save you. Jesus humbled Himself and became last, very last, and died naked on a cross, so you could be saved from the filth of your sin. Christ Jesus, God manifest in the flesh, was crucified and bled for your sins. Christ became SIN and bore all the penalty of God's wrath, and paid the penalty of Hell for you personally.
If you are weary and worn, if your soul is sick and your heart is sore, if you are tired of wandering in the black night of sin: Remember - it's still God's blood that saves from the love of sin here in time, and the lake of fire in Eternity. Some depend on the works they do, and some count on their religion to get them through, but only the Precious Blood of God's Lamb can save your immortal soul from the lake of fire. Free forgiveness and divine mercy is what you need. Only the King of Kings Himself can grant you eternal life freely - go directly to Him. Run from sin, flee from the wrath of God, drop your good works, cling only to the Cross, hide in the wounds of the Bleeding Lamb, He was crucified for you. Only the King eternal can freely pardon a lost sinner like you.
The Lamb of God was slain by cruel sinners and the ransom for sin has been paid. Your sins made Jesus bleed that day. On Calvary's Cross all the sins of the world, including yours, were laid on Jesus' soul. Christ Jesus wrought free salvation for you. There is a free sin pardon for all and a perfect salvation available to you only if you will come with simple childlike faith in the sin-cleansing blood of the Crucified One. His Blood is more than enough to wash the sin out of your soul. There is no other solution for your sin problem.
You must come to Jesus Christ, and trust *only* in His sinless obedience, precious blood, and resurrection. He will freely pardon and redeem you by His grace. Salvation is as simple as a beggar coming to a King and crying out for something he desperately needs, doesn’t have, and can’t earn. Plead with the gracious crucified and risen King, and ask Him to freely forgive your sins; plead for His mercy through His Precious Blood. Come to God, cry out to Him, and God will reach down and save you by His Free Grace and Dying Love. Trust His dying love, believe His precious promises. Repent ye, and believe the Gospel. Whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely. Whosoever believeth in Him hath everlasting life. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved. Trust in the Precious Blood of Christ today.

A King met a beggar on a lonely road one day.
A strange occurrence took place as you will see.
The beggar fell upon his knees and cried,
"O King, please pardon me, I am unworthy in Thy presence to be."
Then the King looked at the beggar,
And He said, “Friend, you've been set free,
your sins are all forgiven,
and now you're born in Royalty.”
Then the King and the beggar walked off arm in arm, you see,
That King was JESUS, and the beggar was me.
He who was so rich became so poor,
that a beggar rich might be (II Cor 5:21).
The Son of God became the Son of man;
That sinners called the sons of man,
the sons of God might be.
I can't explain it, God's wondrous saving plan.
Do you know the GREAT KING who died for you? Only His Free Grace and Dying Love can save your sinful soul today. You need a free royal pardon by God's Blood. Every sinner must be saved by Blood, that is, God's Blood that flowed from Christ Jesus' veins on Calvary's Cross.
I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and My name is dreadful among the heathen.
The Lord Jesus Christ paid the full price for all my sins on Calvary's Cross. I am so thankful Jesus saved my soul from the love and power and penalty of my sins. I know I'm going to heaven now, won't you come and go with me. I'm so sinful and no good, nevertheless Jesus' precious blood alone has bought my FREE ticket into New Jerusalem. I am a sinner and nothing at all, but Jesus Christ is my All in All. He is my God, my King, my Friend, and my Savior - Christ Jesus is Everything! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hallelujah to the King - I'm so glad He came by this poor beggar's way one day!
