You’ve sinned and violated God’s laws and spurned His love and shed blood. You’re always sinning in thought, word, and deed, and if you die in your sins, you shall die an eternal death for it. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. There is but a step between you and death; and even if your life is prolonged for a little season, it will soon be over. You will die physically before long – it is inescapable, but the second death is eternal death in Hell, separation from God forever and ever. Human sin is a devilish thing, which God’s justice must punish.
Your lies, lusts, greediness, and envy transgress God’s law daily. Outside of Christ, your sin is on your soul right now and the wrath of God abides on you – and unless you repent, you must die in your sins and perish forever. Be sure your sin will find you out – God will bring every secret work of yours into judgment, whether it be good or whether it be evil. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His Righteousness - Jesus Christ.

God has made a way for every sinner to escape the damnation of Hell. There is a way for sins to be forgiven, only one way – Substitution – that is the way! And there is only One Substitute for an ungodly sinner: The Lamb of God that was sent from Heaven. God became a human being in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, and suffered for sinners what they ought to have suffered. Christ Jesus came into the world to seek and save lost sinners just like you. He is the one and only Substitute for your guilt. Jesus Christ, the God-Man, lived a sinless life and glorified the Law of God.
The Lord of glory kept the Law of God perfectly for you; that Law of God that you have broken all your life. Christ Jesus went to the Cross of Calvary, and offered up Himself as a sinless blood sacrifice in your place. “The blood of Jesus Christ God’s Son cleanseth us from all sin.” God laid your sins on Jesus, and He suffered for them and bled to death for you. Jesus Christ bore your sins in His own body and suffered the wrath of God that you have coming to you. Christ died for the ungodly, not the good and respectable. Be wise - acknowledge that your good works are good-for-nothing.

This is the most beautiful thing you’ll ever hear: One day 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem’s manger, God became a Jewish man, Christ Jesus was His name. Christ also hath once suffered for sins. He was bruised, beaten, and then spilt His most precious blood for your sins. Jesus sweat in Gethsemane until His soul was so full of agony that His blood ran from the pores of His skin. His head, His hair, His garments were all bloody there. He wrestled and His soul was burdened, and “sorrowful even unto death.” Jesus was suffering the wrath of God for sins. He rose from His place of prayer and went forth to meet His doom.
Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples. They hurried the Savior away to Annas, to Caiaphas, to Pilate, to Herod, then back again to Pilate, without any breathing time, without any relief. Pontius Pilate falsely condemned Him. On His precious head was placed a crown of thorns that you deserved. The lips of the angry mob cursed Him and cried out in their scorn as He bore the Cross through the streets of Jerusalem. They accused Him of sedition. They accused Him of blasphemy. They could find no true witnesses against Him. He was accused and slandered and spit upon.
They condemned the innocent One, they mocked Him, laughed at Him, jeered at His majesty, and tormented His heart. They tore His back with scourges till His bones were showing. Then, they set Him in an old chair as though it were a throne. They crowned Him with thorns. They cast an old purple robe on His blood raw shoulders. They mocked and derided Him, as though He were a fake king. For a scepter, they gave Him a reed. For honor, they gave Him spit. For the kiss of reverence, they gave Him lips of mockery and blasphemy. Instead of bowing before Him as their King, they blindfolded Him, and smote Him in the face. The Roman soldier's spit ran down His blessed face. He was despised and afflicted because of your sins.

Then Jesus is led forth to Calvary’s cross. He is nailed to the Cross by cruel and wicked hands. The crude mob heckled and taunted Him as He suffers. His soul was suffering the wrath of God. The wrath of the Almighty against our sins covered His soul. He cried out, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me.” His griefs, sorrows, sufferings, and woes were unfathomable. At last, He cries, “It is finished!” He then bows His head, and gives up the ghost. He suffered all that we ought to have suffered. He finished the Atonement and payment for human sin. He satisfied God's wrath for us. Jesus is our Atonement. He obeyed every jot and tittle of the Law of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ has made an “end of the Law for righteousness” – not half-way, but all the way, not near to the boundary, but to its end. Jesus didn’t merely sip from the cup of God’s wrath, He had drained it to the very dregs, He turned the cup of wrath bottom upwards, His soul swallowed all it contained, there was not a single drop left. Then He cried out, “It is Finished!” He has drunk the whole wrath of God for us. The sufferings are finished. The debt is paid. Divine Justice is satisfied. The Law is honored and magnified. True Righteousness is established for our Justification. The complete Atonement for human sin is made - "It is Finished!" The Propitiation for sinners is entirely done.

JESUS was the Holy Sacrifice required for your sins. His Divine Blood Sacrifice alone pleased the justice and vengeance of God. The weight of your sin bowed Him down on Calvary's tree. Your sins were the nails in His hands and feet. The unbelief of your rebellious heart was the spear in His side. Christ cried out in anguish as He bled there for you. The wrath of Almighty God was poured out that day on the Sinless Lamb of God, God's dear Son. God the Father turned His face away and forsook Jesus that day because of your sins. Christ was made to be Sin for you, and suffered untold agony in your place. He was God's Sacrifice of Love for you personally. Then He was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Ye must be born again.
Don’t try and put your last touches on the finished work of Christ. Your fingers are defiled with sin and your self-righteous efforts insult and anger the Lord. Jesus Christ is the apple of God’s eye. For a sinner to try to put his finishing touches on Christ’s Atonement is a stab in the eye of God. Poor sinner, what do say to this? Will you now rest on Christ's Blood Atonement? God is satisfied with His Son’s atoning Sacrifice, are you? God thinks Jesus’ Sacrifice is enough, do you? You can only be saved by faith in Christ, and in Christ alone. Not your own works, or feelings, or experience. Christ wants no preparation from you. Simply cast yourself down on Christ's promise, blood, and merits. Submit to Christ now and let Him save you by free grace and pure mercy. Look to Jesus now whose Blood can cleanse and save your soul. Cast yourself down in the dust before Him, and once for all have done with your wretched self. Rely not on anything you can do, or think, or say, or know; rest alone on Jesus only, and your soul is saved forever.
Dear Sinner Friend, you may be thinking, “My sins are too many”? His Atonement is miraculous and can cover all your sins. Do you say, “My heart is too hard”? Jesus can soften it with His Blood. Do you cry, “I am so unworthy”? Jesus loves the unworthy. Do you feel, “I am so vile and sinful?” It is the sinful who Jesus came to save. Down in the dust, sinner; down, down with yourself and up with Christ, who suffered for your sins on Calvary’s cross. Turn your eyes there, see Jesus only. He suffers, He bleeds, He dies. He is buried; He rises again. He ascends on high. Trust Him, and you are safe. Give up all other trusts, and rely on Jesus alone, and you shall pass from death unto life (John 5:24). Simply and wholly rest and trust in Jesus Christ Himself.
If you take Christ, He’ll take you. Natural human goodness, good morals, and trying to clean up your act can never help save you. You have transgressed God’s Law – you need the Substitute. Don’t toy with your sin – repent and trust Christ’s Precious Blood before it’s too late. You must have the Substitute before you die – nothing else will do. Jesus is God, but He is man, He is the Substitute for real sinners; He is willing to receive all who trust Him. He will save you right now, if you will simply rely on *Him*. Now, you can never be saved from your sins until you first come to the Cross, and see Jesus Christ dying there for you, as your Substitute. You must trust Him alone — the moment you do, all your sins are laid on Him, you are eternally saved and clear of the penalty for your sin. The sinner who rejects the Bleeding Substitute who died upon the Cross will bring eternal ruin and damnation to his soul. Please don’t reject the Bleeding Substitute, for if you do, you must perish in your sins without hope.
You can only come to know Christ personally through trusting, that is, simply believing like a little child. Simply rest on Christ’s Blood Atonement alone. Stake your soul's eternal safety on His Finished Work; leave your sins with Him for time and eternity. God’s way of salvation is for you to rest and rely on Christ alone. There is a way for your sins to be forgiven - Christ's Blood is the way. Fix your faith on His blood now. Christ offered Himself to God as your Substitute: through faith you receive Him: and from that moment on forever, God accepts you. Believe on the Finished Cross-work of Christ alone for yourself. The Blood of God will certainly save you if you place a simple childlike trust in the sinner's Substitute. Plead God’s Precious Blood Now and you are delivered from your sins' penalty! You have God’s word on it. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved. God be merciful to me a sinner for Jesus’ sake.
