The sixth sense is common sense - every atheist lacks it. Every thing that an atheist can lay his eyes or hands on was created by someone (house, car, meals, furniture, curtains, lights, roads, mailbox, etc.), but the silly atheist doesn't believe his body, the animals, the bugs, the earth, moon, and stars were created. Atheism believes that nothing created everything, and that there is no moral accountability to your Maker, there is no such thing as sin, and there is no God to answer to. The foolish atheist dares to insult and scoff at his Maker. The atheist denies God because he knows he is in big trouble with Him. Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-up fools. Idolatry is creating a god in your own image, a god that doesn't demand moral accountability or repentance. You have given yourself to sin, degraded yourself, made a god in your own image, and you don't feel morally responsible to the false god you have created. The law was sent to convince you of sin, and make you tremble before your holy Maker.
Many moral, amiable, generous, and even religious people have never really believed ON the Son of God for their soul's eternal salvation. You can be sound in your faith, religious in your conduct and dress, moral in your life, and still be lost in your sins. Deliverance from the tyranny of your sin depends on your reliance upon God, immediately and alone. Reliance upon the Person and Blood of Jesus, giving up everything to Him, and the reception of Christ as your Savior, Lord, and God. Your reliance must be upon the Christ of God that died for sinners. If you will simply trust the Savior, you shall be saved at once from the love of sin and the hell you deserve. Believe only in Jesus now, and you shall have immediate forgiveness of every sin, instantaneous salvation by the power of the Christ of God. Cry to God for mercy and help to repent of your sins, and trust simply and wholly upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is the saved sinner's maxim - Always trusting in Christ. Lay aside all your self-righteousness and your love of sin. Simple faith in a full Atonement for sin made by Christ Crucified. Hearty reliance upon Christ Himself. Christ died for the ungodly, not good people. Stop loving sin, believe the Gospel, cling to God's mercy and promises, rest in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus. Walk by faith with entire confidence towards God. The sinner that believes in Jesus Christ is justified from all things. He that believeth in Christ is not condemned. Our chief dependence must be upon God's blood. Have no confidence on anything else but Jesus Crucified and risen from the dead. Trust to Christ Crucified. Men are too proud to be saved by simple repentant faith in the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Hearty faith in Christ's atoning sacrifice on Calvary's tree for worthless wretches like us. The judgment of God is upon all sinful mankind. You can do nothing to earn your salvation. Men are all self-righteous and want to earn salvation themselves. We want to be in control of our life and destiny. We want todo something to earn the favor of God, so we can get some credit for saving ourselves.
You have sinned, you are guilty, the law of God has bound punishment to your sin with iron shackles. Jesus Christ came into this world and bore the consequences of human sin in His own body on the tree. Believe in Jesus Christ, simple faith in His blood and righteousness, receive Him to be your Substitute and Advocate, bearing the guilt and punishment for your sins, Jesus was unto God a sacrifice instead of you. Christ offered up Himself for your salvation. Your greatest need is the presence, operation, and help of the Holy Ghost. You struggle with your evil, and you don't know what to do with it, so you try to run away and say there's no such thing as Sin. Atheists are slaves to their sin and are afraid to trust a loving God who can wash away their sins through Jesus' most precious blood. Don't place the slightest reliance upon your own righteousness. Nothing can damn a sinner but his own righteousness; and nothing can save a sinner but the Righteousness of Christ. There must be a distinct renouncing of all righteousness of your own. In your own estimation, you are a very excellent person, and in your own eyes, you are well up to mark. But you must own yourself to be defiled and undone, or there is no hope for you.
The man who clings to his own righteousness is like a man who grasps at an anvil to prevent himself from drowning. Your righteousness will damn you if you trust in it at all. You have nothing to trust to, except the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ. Have no other confidence but Christ Himself. You must altogether renounce any trust in your own righteousness. Renounce your own strength and wisdom. Jesus came to rescue guilty sinners that would trust in His Blood alone. Jesus came to make guilty sinners not guilty. Salvation is all undeserved grace. Never trust in your own knowledge, abilities, or understanding. The Gospel divides - one goes towards life and one towards death. Give up self-rule. You say, We are our own, we will do as we like. But simple dependence upon the crucified and living Savior is your only hope. The way of Salvation is by simple pentitent faith in Jesus Christ and His atoning blood. But you must first be emptied of self-reliance by the Holy Spirit and the Sword of the Spirit. When compared to Jesus Christ and God's law, you are wickedly dirty within, Look to Jesus dying and rising from the dead for you. You are a sinner, you can only be saved by grace alone through repentant faith alone in Jesus Christ's shed blood alone. You're very wicked, but Jesus is very good, and He will save you today.
