Plain Preaching 4

For the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the Power of God (I Corinthians 1:18, 24).  Every man by nature is in a lost and perishing condition, through their sinning, and their need of a True Righteousness.  Wicked and ungodly men are carried away with their own lusts and blinded by Satan, the god of this world. Free Salvation by the blood of the Crucified Creator boggles the mind of the sin-loving atheist.  Reconciliation to God by the blood and merits of His Son. Here the Good News for lost sinners - Imputed Righteousness, Free Pardon, Full Atonement, and Divine Satisfaction through Jesus offering up Himself as a Sinless Bloody Sacrifice for human sin.  Man can have no part in saving himself - human nature furiously kicks against that.  Free salvation is very disagreeable to human carnal reason.

You must be saved freely by the Merits and Blood of Another Person.  You can't have anything to do with your salvation.  Just as if you needed triple-bypass heart surgery, you can't have anything to do with your surgery.  You must simply yield to the surgeon, and let him do everything for you.  The same is truth with divine Salvation, it is out of your hands altogether - simply yield to the Savior and let Him do everything inwardly for your sin-sick heart. The message of the Cross is despised because it counts human merit as DUNG (Philippians 3:8).  The atheist is so in love with his sin, that he rejects the Crucified and Risen Creator.  All Christ rejecters love their sins.  There is no other way to be saved, there is no other way escape the damnation your sins deserve, but faith in Christ Jesus' atoning blood - God sent His Son into this world to die for your sins.  A sinless man named Jesus of Nazareth loved you to death on Calvary's Cross.

The Lord Jesus Christ said, "VERILY I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a LITTLE CHILD, he shall not enter therein." (Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17)  You must humble yourself to enter into the kingdom of God.  The door to Heaven is very low, but wide open.  You must stoop to enter the door to Glory Land.  Christ Jesus is the DOOR (John 10:9).  Your high opinion of yourself must go.  Your love for preeminence will damn you. You must humble yourself as a little child, (to have low thoughts of yourself, preferring others to yourself, not seeking control over others, putting away malice, prejudice, vanity, envy and pride) and come to Jesus' feet, trusting in HIM with helpless dependence.  If you do not get off your high horse, you will be inevitably doomed and damned.  God set it up so if you're a proud sucker, you'll stumble over pride right off into the Lake of Fire.  Wake up and wise up before its everlasting too late.

Evolution was created so that godless atheists could get 'some' sleep at night.  Evolution is a deadly spiritual morphine that makes atheists not feel their conscience and guilt so acutely, but even though the feeling the gone, the cancer of sin is still devouring them. Darwin has hoodwinked many an atheist with his monkey-man fables.

The religions of this world are vain attempts to get around the true and living Holy God of the Bible - Jesus Christ.  Man-made religions rebel against Biblical truth, and love to believe what they dream up.  Man worships religion, not Jesus Christ.  When Christ Jesus came into this world, He messed up man's religious systems, and they hated Him with a passion.  Man despises morality, purity, and absolute Truth.  Man knows there is a Creator intuitively, but continues to love his sin and darkens his understanding.  Carnal man wants to silence the Truth.    Man wants to be unaccountable and unlimited in his sins.  A Creator makes man accountable for his sins.  Do-gooders go to Hell, and no-gooders go to Heaven.  Don't forget, you're not God.

The universe was tailor made to support life. The evolutionist says that every man evolved from an animal.  Evolution says, Man began as an animal, but now he wants to be his own god. The Bible says, Man was created in the image of God, and now he digresses and lives worse than an animal.  The atheist conceals the Truth, ignores the Creator, and stifles his Conscience. The atheist desires to silence the Truth.  Lost man worships the creation, not the Creator. The natural man hates God's Authority - God's Words.  Man doesn't want to have to answer to anyone for his sins.  Human nature abhors accountability and limitations.  Man rebels against God's holiness.  Man hates God rule, because he wants to be unaccountable and unfettered in his sinning.  Man hates God's holiness, because man is unholy.  Every man is sinful and guilty and without excuse.  Self-righteous man makes up excuses, so he can ignore and avoid Jesus Christ.  Face it - The Creator will one day judge the sinner.  By nature you have nothing to offer the Holy Angry Judge - you need the Crucified and Risen Mediator.

There's a God, and you're not Him.
There's a God, and you're going to face Him.
There's a God, He knows what you're doing.
There's a God, His name is Jesus Christ.
Trust *HIM*, not yourself.
