You have already sinned, so you are condemned already. Sin is like toothpaste: once its out of the tube, there's no getting it back in. Once you've sinned, there's you nothing you can do about it, but plead Guilty, and then plead for Mercy through the Atoning Blood of Jesus Christ. Doing your best in the future will never remove or cancel your past sins. All religious moralists are enemies of the Cross. Only in Christ can we meet the requirements of the Law.
Human nature makes much of man and nothing of God. Men think they are somebody, and that they can merit something of God, but this is delusion. Think and make much of the pardoning blood of Jesus, make everything of Jesus, for Christ is All. God will only be merciful to you, because of the great Atoning Blood of the Lamb of God. Simply trust Jesus as a little child trusts to its mother and has no fear. Simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the way of Salvation. Confide in the bleeding Substitute for guilty men. Only trust to what Christ has done for us, and what the Holy Spirit works in us.
Faith in Jesus' Precious Blood always leads to a secret mourning for sin, a humble faith in Jesus' finished work, a genuine change of life, a secret communion with the Holy Ghost, an earnest attempt to live a changed life for Jesus' sake, a realization of our nothingness in the sight of God, private effectual prayer, a sincere desire for the Scriptures, an inward conflict with sins, a love for preaching and teaching of the Bible, an eager desire for more grace, and a simple childlike love to Jesus.

The Gospel is just this: God has mercy upon the guilty and undeserving, not to those that do their best. Pardon for the guilty by faith in His Blood; acceptance for a sinner by a Righteousness that is not his own. Dwell on this thought - Jesus who was God over all, blessed for ever *Romans 9:5*, the Maker of the worlds *Hebrews 1:2*, gave Himself to bleed and die for unworthy rebels like you and me. JEHOVAH made the sinless soul of His dear Son an offering for human sin, so that the guilty might by freely cleared by Grace alone. Pardoning mercy and cleansing grace is intended only for the guilty and polluted. A sinner can only come to God by way of the Atonement. Jesus Himself is the Atonement. *Romans 5:11*
I shall always plead the Atonement made by God's Pardoning Blood. The Sin-Bearer suffered so bitterly to make an Atonement for my sins. The sacrificial bloody death of the Son of God for sinners is my only claim to God's mercy. The Satisfaction made by Christ was for my sins. Precious Blood, eternal redemption, matchless atonement, substitutionary sacrifice. Him hath God raised from the dead. Persuade guilty men to come to the Savior, tell them of the great mercy of God, the preciousness of Jesus' Blood, and the power of the great Atoning Sacrifice of Calvary to take away human guilt.
Christ took the sinner's place, bore the sinner's sin, suffered in the sinner's place, and vindicated the divine justice of God. My sins against God must be punished, and they were punished in Christ's bloody death on Calvary. Jesus is the only hope of guilty men. Accept for yourself the great Atonement by an act of personal faith. Keep to the Gospel of the Grace of God. The Savior lived here on Earth a life of holy obedience, and then He died, the Just for the unjust, to bring to me God. Salvation is not of human merit, for there is no such thing. Pardoning mercy, renewing grace. Rely on the power of pardoning blood of JEHOVAH JESUS. Trust to the Substitute for guilty rebels.
If you want to get rid of your guilt and sin, God's only way of forgiving sinners is by laying your sins on Jesus the great Sin-Bearer. Think of sins forgiven, Righteousness imputed, and divine nature imparted. The Offended one dies to set the offender free. Sin necessitates punishment and death. Jesus' pardoning blood is our one theme. Come to the Cross and enjoy the sweetness of Jesus' pardoning grace. The sin-pardoning God is Christ Jesus. Trust only to Calvary's Pardoning Blood. Make Jesus' Blood and Righteousness your only plea.

Whosoever believeth in Jesus shall be immediately forgiven, immediately renewed in heart by the Holy Spirit, and made a new creature in Christ. Christ died, He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost. It was for sins and sinners that Jesus died on Calvary's tree. He His own self bare our sins in His body on the tree. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him. Jesus put away my sins by making full Atonement to divine justice. Jesus was punished in my place, and so ended my debts to God. God cannot punish the sinner for whom Christ was punished. God cannot exact the same debt twice, first of the Substitute, and then of the sinner. Substitutionary Sacrifice is the finest of the wheat. A real Atonement is the best food for my soul. Jesus' sacrificial death was for me. I rely only upon the pardoning blood of Calvary. The Atonement is my clear way to Glory. Salvation by works exalts man; Salvation by Christ's finished work exalts the Lamb of God.
The greatest source of Faith is the contemplation of the Cross of Christ. The Atonement by the Blood of Jesus is the heart of Christian truth. Trust to Christ's pardoning blood, rest in His Righteousness. Deal honestly with God, confess your sins to Him. Accept His work upon the Cross as the Atonement for your sins, His Righteousness as your acceptance before God. Look to the tree of doom where Jesus suffered. Jesus was taken to the tree, our sins were laid on Him, He died for His enemies. He was made to be Sin for us, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Him. Jesus offered the one and only Atonement for human sin with His own pardoning Blood. There is no other Sin-Bearer, no other Atonement, no other Satisfaction.
The definition of the Atonement - He His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree. I believe in the Atonement Himself. The Atonement saves from despair and from the love of evil. If you reject the Atonement, you will die in your sins and perish forever in the lake of fire. You don't have a soul; you are a Soul. You have a body, and will soon have to exit that body and go out into Eternity. Salvation by faith in His Blood. Free Pardon by Precious Blood. There is salvation, salvation by a glorious Savior, unto holiness, by redemption, a perfect salvation provide to us by Jesus Himself. Salvation by grace implies that men are guilty. Salvation by Substitution of the Incarnate God. This is as plain as the nose on your face. Good morals cannot save you. Salvation is only by faith in the pardoning blood of Jesus.
Substitution is the heart, life, and soul of the Gospel. Salvation by human merit is delusion. I am a sinner saved by Blood, all glory be to Him who died for me. Mercy seeks after the guilty. All men are guilty before God, dead in sin. To believe is to trust Jesus, His suffering, His Atonement, trusting to Him for Salvation. Let the pardoning Incarnate God save you from the wrath to come and the love of sin. Go directly to Jesus Himself at once. Let Jesus save you, that is all.
