Every lost man rejected Christ when he was around 15, and then he got into more and more sin, and then at 25, he rejects Christ again, and then his heart gets harder and harder, and then he rejects Christ again at 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50, and then he neglects Christ until he is around 70, and then he dies in his sins, and goes to Hell where he belongs. If you live and die without Jesus Christ and lose your soul, you will lose all you've got. The soul is the ego part of man; it is a man's peculiar individualistic property that distinguishes him from other souls. The loss of your soul is irrecoverable: once your soul is lost and damned, it can never be retrieved. Behold now is the day of salvation. Stop putting off Christ, stop neglecting the only Remedy for your sin problem, the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Sin turns every man into a living devil that hates God and rejects Christ, and hates his own soul. If you're not careful, you'll die unforgiven, without hope and without Christ. The world's sinful pleasures can only be enjoyed for a season, your life is but a vapor; but your soul will continue on forever and ever. Your soul is immortal; and if it is lost and damned, its torment will always abide, and the smoke of your soul will ascend up forever and ever in the lake of fire, and the worm of conscience will never die, and the everlasting fire where you'll dwell will never be quenched. You need the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Jesus must be your Lamb, your personal Sin-Bearer, or you will lose your soul. You can't be saved by doing good or quitting some bad habits, because you are not Perfect. God requires Perfection (sinlessness) for you to enter New Jerusalem.
All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. You may be a fine fellow in man's eyes, but there's something bad wrong with you -- you're a sinner. You're proud and selfish. You have secret sins no one knows about, some mental sin, some social sin, some verbal sin, some outward sin, some inward sin, some secret sin, some business sin, some family sin, some private sin, some religious sin, there's always something wrong with every man. Every man is right in his own eyes, but God knows your secrets and thoughts. There's was only one perfect man that lived here on earth, and that was the man Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5-6). When God Almighty sees the Blood of His Son on your soul, His wrath will pass over you. If there's no blood, you're headed for eternal destruction. Has the Blood of God been applied to your Soul? No blood, no hope. Is your Soul safe? No blood, no eternal life. Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb? No blood, no forgiveness. A Christian believes what God said, and a lost man doesn't - that's it. Have you ever personally received Christ by faith into your body and soul? The worst way to die is in your sins unforgiven.
The preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us who are saved it is the power of God and the wisdom of God. The Lord Jesus Christ was made sin for us, that Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and God hath set Him forth to be the Propitiation for all our sins. When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Now once in the end of the world hath Christ appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Jesus is The Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in JESUS should not perish, but have everlasting life. The full Blood Atonement for human sin has been made, and the utmost ransom is paid in full. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
The Just died for the unjust, that He might bring us to God; the Innocent One bore the crimes of the guilty, that they might be freely forgiven and accepted in Christ. God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Christ Crucified is the key to Heaven - Glory in the Cross alone. Christ His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes we were healed. God hath made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ. Whosoever believeth in God's Son is justified from all sin; and whosoever trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ is in that moment forgiven, justified, adopted, regenerated within, and accepted in the Beloved.
Repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have eternal life. Simple trusting of your soul wholly to Christ, as a Substitute for a sinner. The essence of saving faith is trust, reliance, dependence on Christ's Atoning Blood, His Finished Cross-Work. Cast away every other confidence of every sort, save confidence in Jesus' Precious Blood.

God says you're a sinner, you're going to die, and you can't help save yourself at all. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. You need to get ready for death and Judgment. God has provided the Savior, you must provide the sinner. Take heed to your soul, come and hide under the Shelter of God's Blood at the Cross. You may think you're too good to go to Hell, but according to the Bible, there's no good in you (Romans 3:10,12). You can only die prepared to meet God by simply trusting in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. You must pass from death to life and be converted (changed inwardly) by the Holy Ghost. Salvation is a sinner coming to God as a sinner, repenting of his sins, and by faith placing his trust in the Blood of God's Son for the free forgiveness of his sins. If you receive God's Son (John 1:12), God will receive you, regenerate you, and make you His child forever. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved from the penalty and love of sin. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved.
You have sinned against God *Romans 3:23*, and God must punish your sins, and God has punished your sins in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. God set forth Jesus to be the Propitiation for human sin, and now whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Lean the full weight of your soul on Jesus' finished work. This is the vital point. You must have a personal faith in the personal Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. *Matthew 11:28* Trust in the character, truthfulness, finished work of the Son of God. You don't have to do anything special, or achieve anything, but simply believe in Jesus, the Christ of God, God manifest in the flesh. By faith, receive Jesus spiritually into your heart and soul. Think much on Christ's sinless life, bloody death and resurrection. You must, by faith take Christ into you now by believing on His Blood. Jesus loved you, and gave Himself for you. The great Blood Atonement of Jesus is only received by simple childlike faith. Emmanuel's Atonement is the great central truth of the Gospel, and it is very best food for the soul. Outward morality and correctness of conduct cannot help you at all.
Everlasting life signifies life which shall never end. Life received from Jesus Christ will last as long as the everlasting God. If a man can lose his spiritual life, then that life could not have been EVER-lasting, this is so clear. The man that trusts to Christ's Blood alone to take away his sins has within a life which shall never expire. Jesus said, "Because I live, ye shall live also." By Jesus all that believe are justified from all things. Genuine faith in Jesus' Blood is vital. Born into God's family by the Holy Ghost, born in the image of God, a partaker of His divine nature. Human nature revolts again the simple humbling, saving truth of John 6:47. Let's put the matter straight and plain - Salvation must be by faith, that it may be by grace, that God may get all the glory, but proud human nature will not have it so. Never try to establish a righteousness of your own, because you can't, for you are sinful. Come away from everything you rely upon and trust alone to Jesus Himself.
Christ Jesus, God in human flesh, made Himself of no reputation, He took upon Himself the form of a servant, and as a servant He bled to death in the sinner's place, and now whosoever will trust to His Atonement is justified freely from all things in the sight of God. I shall never be condemned, for Jesus was condemned in my place. Be absolutely certain of your possession of eternal life - simply trust to the Atoning Blood of Jesus - there your faith must be fixed. Faith leads to Forgiveness of sins, Forgiveness of sins leads to Gratitude, Gratitude leads to Purity, Purity leads to Obedience, Obedience leads to glorifying God. Whosoever believeth in Jesus hath EVERlasting life. The key-note of the Gospel is *Freely*. How is a sinner justified in the sight of God? A man can only be justified in the sight of God by faith in the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, I know that I'm a sinner, I believe you died for my sins, and rose from the dead, I don't want to go to Hell when I die. I deserve to go to Hell, but please have mercy on me, and save me through your Atoning Blood. I am so guilty, please be merciful to me a sinner for Jesus' sake. I am coming to you right now the best way I know how and trusting you as my Savior from my sins. Lord Jesus, please save my soul right now, thank you for shedding your Precious Blood for my sins. Please forgive me for rejecting and neglecting you all these years. Lord Jesus, I'm no good, I believe on You now for the Righteousness that God requires.
