Plain Preaching 3

Every atheist and religionist is the poor Victim of wrong information, and it is a total tragedy.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a solemn and serious thing - it is solid Truth.  Darkness, doom, damnation, and despair is your inevitable future without Jesus Christ.  You are a poor, polluted, perverse and guilty sinner; alienated from the life of God, and exposed to the wrath of God and eternal condemnation, and deserving eternal death. You are living carelessly and corruptly, neglecting God's Son. You have rebelled against your Creator in a deliberate and resolute fashion.  You are unprepared to die. You are lost in sin, your condition is hopeless, you are trapped in your self. Your feet are running toward hell at an alarming pace.  Your conscience faithfully alarms and worries you.

Lost sinner, come to your senses now - Believe the grand old truth of eternal redemption by the blood of Jesus, God’s atoning blood.  Bow low and adore the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  You are now an evil undone sinner in need of the Incarnate God who died for sinners.  Every unregenerate, unconverted sinner is in great imminent danger of losing his soul forever.  I will never flatter you with empty smooth religious words.

Guilty blood is now flowing through your veins; but Innocent Blood flowed through Jesus' veins.  Christ loved you and gave Himself for you.  Jesus was the Innocent Victim for your sins.  Jesus was and is really God in human flesh, He was really and totally sinless.  Jesus kept the strict and perfect divine Law perfectly. Even His enemies could find no fault in HIM.  Absolute perfection was God's requirement.  Jesus knew no sin, He did no sin, He was in all pointed tempted like as we are, yet without Sin. Only the Holy Spirit can alert you and open your eyes to the evil and danger of your sins. Jesus’ work on Calvary is the only possible way of salvation.  Almighty God is only pleased and satisfied with Christ's blood and merits.  Your soul is stained and saturated with your iniquities; only Christ's Righteousness can protect you from the Justice of God.

Darwin's smooth prescription of evolution, and the religionist’s deadly remedy of salvation by human merit is not true – they are all hellish lies that came from the mind of Satan to damn your soul.  Be wise - Make the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ your soul's sole hope today. Come now - trust and worship at Jesus' blessed feet.  If you die unprepared, unconverted, and unsaved, there remains nothing but a fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation for you. The Atonement did away with any need for human merit.  Eternal punishment must fall upon your sins.  If you die in your sins neglecting Christ’s cure, you will have to suffer that punishment. The Atonement cannot be repeated or added to by human efforts. The Blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse and absolve your guilty soul from ALL SIN.  Humbly plead Jesus' precious name and blood.  The God of all grace poured out His own life's blood on Calvary's Cross for your guilty soul's sake.  This eternal life-giving blood is the only means of escaping the fury and wrath of an offended God. The only thing that can take away human sin is God's Blood. Close now with the Blood of Jesus Christ by the grace of God through simple childlike faith in *HIM*.  See John 6:47.

The fact of the matter is, the love of sin darkens the eyes of every atheist.  The allowance of known sin in your life darkens the mental eye.  Men cannot see truth, because they love falsehood (evolution).  The Gospel cannot be seen, because it is too pure for the atheist's loose living and lewd thoughts. Christ’s holy example is too severe for the atheist; Christ's Spirit is too pure for lovers of carnal pleasure. When a man rejects the Gospel, they also tolerate laxity of morals, and give into and go after the ways of this evil world.  Sin pricks the sensitive eyeballs of the mind!  “How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another?”  The fear of man's frown or laughter keeps atheists from Christ. The love of worldly honor prevents many atheists from believing in Jesus Christ. As long as a man admires himself, he will never adore Christ the living God. When sinful habits, like a handful of mud, seal up the eyes, the man becomes an agnostic, a doubter, an infidel, an atheist.  To have a clear spiritual eye, a man must have a clean heart within.  The pure in heart shall see God:  the pure in heart see God’s truth and God's Son, they appreciate Him and delight in HIM. Only the Holy Spirit can wash the filth of sin out of your eyes, so you can walk in the Light, as God is in the Light.

Christ Jesus said, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth ME shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on ME should not abide in darkness."  Whenever you enter a room that is dark, you must turn on a light in order to function in that room.  A mind without Christ is like that dark room without any light.  A human mind cannot function properly without divine Light entering into it.  Christ the Lord is the LIGHT of life, and only He can give a sinner LIGHT and LIFE.  The people which sat in darkness saw great Light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death Light is sprung up.  The only Light in this dark world of sin today is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  You can stop searching now.  Jesus came into this world to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide their feet into the way of peace. Every atheist is abiding in the pitch-black darkness of his sin, and every time he hears the name of Christ, he runs further and further into his darkness.  This is complete suicidal insanity.  Every atheist hates the light, just like an owl or bat does.  What communion hath light with darkness?  Jesus is tenderly calling you out of your darkness into His marvelous light.  God is light, and in HIM is no darkness at all.

Jesus said, "Without ME ye can do NOTHING."  If you live your whole life without receiving and knowing and following Jesus Christ, you may think you accomplished a lot, but it will be whole lot of NOTHING.  Your whole life will be wasted, and your soul will be lost forever.  Sin is very deceitful, and so are sinners who don't know Christ. The entrance of God's words giveth LIGHT.   Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. Don't blow out the little bit of light that is in your mind, don't keep violating your conscience, and rejecting Christ.  And the Light shineth in darkness (the human mind); and the darkness comprehended it not.  And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world (God manifest in the flesh), and men loved darkness rather than Light (The Lamb of God), because their deeds were evil.
