Nothing am I Lord, absolutely nothing, but you are my All in All. Lord Jesus, I am emptiness (fill me), nakedness (clothe me), starving (feed me), weakness (strengthen me). Simple faith in the Crucified and Risen Mediator will save your immortal soul from the love of sin. Whosoever believeth in Him is saved on the spot, whosoever trusts Christ has eternal life. Pardon and salvation belong to every soul that hangs his hope upon the Cross of Christ. Renounce your proud conceit. Seek personal purity with all your heart by faith in Jesus Christ. Simple reliance on the Lamb of God. Rest in His power, believe in His strength. Ye must be born again.

Cling to Jesus in simple confidence. Human doing is a deadly thing that ends up in the Lake of Fire. The reception of Jesus Christ into the heart by Simple Faith crucifies the flesh. Your sin is the murderer of Jesus Christ. Our spirit should recoil with horror at the thought of sin. Think much of the atoning blood of God. Constant watchfulness, holy fear, devout prayer, and simple faith in Jesus' blood and righteousness cultivates the fallow ground of our hearts. Jesus save me now. Deliver my poor soul from the love of sin. Genuine repentance, real conversion, and simple faith in Jesus Christ. Put all your confidence in God alone. Simple faith leads to the purification of sin.

Personal private purity, sincere and simple trusting and looking to Jesus gives real joy.

Free Grace, Substitution, Atonement by Blood, Justification by Faith. All my hope hangs on HIM. Give yourself up to Jesus at once to be saved only by His redeeming grace. By a simple faith repose in Christ. We must continue still to walk by the simple faith which rests only upon God - this is the true spirit of a Christian. A creature should trust its Creator. Receive the Gospel with humility, honesty, and simple faith. With a simple faith come and cast yourself upon the Incarnate God who died on Calvary. Jesus living, dying, rising, ascending, sitting at right hand of God, and coming again in His glory. There is matchless power about a simple, humble reliance upon Christ alone. Simple reliance upon the Finished Work of Jesus Christ is the Only Way to New Jerusalem. Jesus Himself is the "A" and the "Z" in the alphabet of grace.

Simple dependence upon Immanuel brings sure salvation. Simple worship at Christ's pierced feet brings real peace of mind. Simple trust in the living Lord Jesus Christ. True reliance upon the hand of the Lord. God accepts and blesses us when we trust in Christ's Perfect Finished Work. Absolute dependence upon God for eternal salvation. Knock with Childlike dependence at the great Father's door (Jesus Christ). The root of the matter is simple reliance upon Christ's shed blood for real and present salvation. Infallible Scripture and an Almighty Savior - simple faith in Him brings peace within. Cry to God for mercy. Simple reliance on God's grace. Unbelief dishonors the faithfulness of God. Depend on and rest in Jesus by a simple faith. A simple look at the Crucified One puts your sins away forever. Lean upon Christ by full reliance. Sinful thoughts lead to sinful habits. Human religion tries to merit favor before God. Lord, please save me from loving my sin.

God is the Creator and He does as He pleases without in anyway consulting with you. He dispenses His grace and favor entirely according to His perfect will. Fallen sinful men have no claims upon the Almighty, you are destitute of any merit, and you can do nothing whatsoever to win God's favor. You are a spiritual pauper, entirely dependent upon Divine Charity. God is controlled by nothing but His own "good pleasure." You're not in charge, you can't do what you want to do to be saved from sin, and you cannot help justify yourself. You want to show yourself worthy of God's salvation, so He will receive you, but that's not the way salvation works. You can't do enough good, God will never take you based on your goodness. Your very best works are likened to filthy rags and dung in the sight of God. Your sins are likened to vomit in the Scriptures. God only saves dirty, bad, vile sinners, because God is so good. Jesus will rescue you, but you can't help rescue yourself. You wish to go your own way, to please yourself, and gratify your lusts. You want to be comfortable in your private wickedness, and you resent Jesus Christ who searches the heart, pierces the conscience, and rebukes your personal evil. The Gospel brings and requires inward purity, not external performances. You can't impress God at all, because you're no good. The Gospel demands repentance (turn from loving your sins) and the denial of self, that is - Stop loving your sin, and trusting in yourself.

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Step out and trust Jesus Christ instead of your own righteousness. The essence of the Gospel is simple faith in Jesus Himself. Christ Jesus is the sinner's only hope. Only trust Him and enjoy eternal life. Simply trust the merits and Atonement made by Jesus' life and death, and you shall be saved, your sins shall be freely forgiven, your evil nature shall be changed, and you will instantly become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Look only to His perfect atoning sacrifice, Jesus stood in your place, He bore your sins in His own body on the Cross, and if you will trust HIm, He will put your sins away forever. Humble reliance in the mercy and free grace of God. The Gospel doesn't ask you to help save yourself. The Gospel asks you to let Jesus save you freely without any human merit. The essence of faith is trust, reliance, and dependence on the free mercy of God in Christ Jesus. Have no confidence save on Christ's Almighty arm, our full reliance must be placed there only.

Pin your full trust on Jesus Christ's shed blood. Christ died for sinners, you're a sinner, so He died for you. You must be saved by Blood, saved by faith in God's blood, saved by trusting in God's mercy, rescued by relying on Christ's Great Atonement. Believe in God's promises, trust in God's mercy. Your greatest need is His atoning Blood and pardoning Mercy. Men naturally trust in their own sham righteousness, and despise Christ's real righteousness. The hinge on which your salvation turns - is the blood of Christ trusted in or not? What is Christ to you? The very first thing you should do is trust Christ Jesus alone.

Faith Is confidence towards God. Have no confidence in your flesh (your evil self). Confidence towards God means perfect rest. Faith is God-confidence, not self-confidence. Unquestioning confidence in God's goodness, truthfulness, and faithfulness. Sweet confidence in Christ's merit. Unwavering confidence in God's promise. Childlike confidence in the Crucified God. Hang all your confidence on Christ's words. Restful confidence in Jesus. All your hope, trust, and confidence must be fixed upon Jesus. If you are laboring under a sense of sin, seek forgiveness only through simple faith in Jesus' blood, cease not from importunity. Cast yourself into the arms of Jesus, the Crucified Creator. A simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. If you are convicted by sin, and driven to desperation, depend alone upon Christ's Righteousness. Trust nothing of your own.
