Your Sins, Your Soul 3

Your sins will ruin and damn your soul if you keep on loving them. If you are distressed over your sins, you are very welcome at Calvary today.  Your sins are great, but Christ is much greater.  His Precious Blood takes away every stain of guilt instantly and eternally.  Come now to the compassionate High Priest, and trust your case into His dear hands.  His hands were pierced on account of your sinning against God. Trust all your transgressions with the Lamb of God.  Trust only to Him - He came into the world to save sinners.  Fall on your face, and be nothing before Jesus.  Accept God's Righteousness, adore His bleeding Son, trust in His infinite compassion.  You control your own destiny - if you receive and trust to Christ Jesus, you will go to Heaven; if you reject Christ and continue to love your sins, you will go to Hell.  If you want to go to Heaven, trust the atoning blood of God manifest in the flesh; if you want to go to Hell, just trust anything else.

If you really want the Truth, you can find Him in the Bible; start by looking in Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 19; He is always there.  Only the grace and mercy of God can convert your soul.  The Gospel is so divinely simple - listen closely to these blessed Gospel facts - You are a sinner, guilty and condemned by breaking God's Law, loving sin, and rejecting God's Son; but God was incarnated in Christ Jesus; He lived on Earth a life of holiness, love, and compassion.  He died upon the Cross because of our sins; He bore our sins in His own body, and was condemned in our place; then He was buried; and on the third day, He rose again from the dead; and then 40 days later, He ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God on high, where He now lives forevermore to make intercession and saves sinners to the uttermost.  The most damning lie over the ages is -- that if you do your best and help Jesus out, you might go to Heaven when you die.  Sinning against God is a slow form of eternal suicide.  Your whole life hurts until you come to Jesus for Rest.  *Matthew 11:28*

Christ died for the ungodly; He saves sinners from the love of sin.  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.  To believe means to trust and receive Christ now, never trust yourself.  Contrition, a sense of guilt, and a dread of God's anger leads the soul to lay hold on Everlasting Life in Christ Jesus. Rest your faith squarely on the Mediator's great Substitution for sinners.  At the Cross, God extends His lovingkindness and forgiveness  to the most undeserving sinners.  When you neglect or reject Christ, you are running a great and fearful risk of losing your soul forever. Believe on Christ, stake everything upon Him now.  It is Christ that died.

Sin is so terrible and evil, that is why Jesus Himself had to did for it.  It will be a dreadful thing if you wake up in Hell one day where hope will never come to you again.  You were born wrong, and you've been up to no good.  Ye must be born again.  Every man's conscience knows there is a Judgment and dreadful Hell awaiting and reserved for unforgiven sinners.  Break off your sinful connections; quit your evil companions.  Seek mercy through Christ Jesus.  Quit your love for sin, or quit all hope.  Jesus will blot out all the past black record of sins that are against you.  Trust only to Christ the Great Forgiver of sinners.  Christ Jesus is really able to forgive your sins freely.  Human nature savors not the things that be of God, but rather the things that be of men.  Evil human nature hankers after idols; it will worship and desire anything but Christ Jesus.  The atheist chooses to love his sins instead of Christ and winds up in Hell where he belongs.

Your soul is very valuable, because it is immortal.  Your body is only temporal, it will deteriorate and die before long.  Death is man's greatest impersonal enemy.  Money and education and the doctors cannot keep death away from you.  The greatest surprise of life is the brevity of life; it passes so fast.  What do you care most about, your child's clothes or your child?  Your child of course.  Man takes care of their body and forgets their soul.  Your body is the house, and your soul is the tenant of that house.  You must check out of the house sooner or later.  If you think your mid-life crisis was something, wait till you encounter your end-of-life crisis, and you die in your sins are wind up in the lake of fire for rejecting Jesus Christ.  All sin-loving Christ rejecters go straight to Hell when they die.

You cannot be unborn, and you cannot undo your sins.  You are going to live somewhere forever.  Your sins have separated you from God.  Ye must be born again within by the Holy Spirit.  The Lord Jesus Christ is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. What have you done about your soul?  What if you lost your soul?  You can't win in this world, and you can't take anything with you.  The Precious Blood of Christ was the priceless Ransom that was paid to free your soul from sin.  You are juggling your soul with the vain things of this world.  Don't drop your soul and lose it.  Stop procrastinating, stop putting off dealing with Jesus Christ Himself. A decisive decision now for Jesus is needful.  Eternal life and the forgiveness of sins is an absolute Gift from God to us for Jesus' sake.

Trust your soul on God's Blood and Promises.  Take care of your soul, trust Jesus with your soul, or you will lose your soul. Trust God in human flesh implicitly with your life and soul, Jesus Christ who bled to death upon Calvary's Cross, and who rose from the dead, Jesus who paid down the Ransom for your soul, trust Him right now.  Trust Christ for yourself, take Him, receive Him into your hungry and thirsty soul, just like you would take food and water into your body.  God through the blood of Jesus Christ is able to blot out all of your sins in a moment, and then there will be nothing in His book against you, your sins will cease to be.  Acknowledge your sinfulness, poverty, filthiness, guiltiness, and nakedness; seek Christ Jesus earnestly; ask Him for a new heart and a right spirit within.

There is evil in you by nature; you were born that way; and now you must be born again. *Romans 3:23; Jeremiah 17:9; John 3:7*  Accept the great Atoning Sacrifice of Calvary, believe that your sins were laid on Him.  Sin is the transgression of the divine law of God. *I John 3:4*  Trust to Jesus, and your sins will not damn you.  If you come to Christ, your sins shall be all put away forever.  Your unbelief and love for sin keep you away from Christ; and your love for sin will destroy you.  The thought of foolishness is sin.  A proud heart, a high look, and the plowing of the wicked is sin.  Your bragging and boasting about what you have done is sin.  Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Your righteousness does not measure up, for you have missed the mark by sinning against God over and over and over.  Trust to Christ's Atoning Blood alone, your soul's safety depends on it.  You really, really need Christ's forgiveness.  Take your soul to Christ right away for His safekeeping.  It is a sin for you to think you can do anything without God's help.  Go to Christ the great Attorney, and sue for a divorce between your soul and sin, between your soul and self-righteousness.  The first essential thing to be done is for you to come to Christ and to leave all other trusts.

Christ really died for me, I have trusted in Him, and He has put away my sins forever and ever.  Jesus is my Truth, my Life, and my Way.  The infinitely holy and just Maker does not count my sins against me for Jesus' sake, but instead He held them against His Son on the Cross.  May the smart that sin brings wean you from transgressing against God.  We all need to quickly forgive others, for God in Christ Jesus has graciously and frankly forgiven all our sins. The devil says, "Take what is yours; you deserve the best."  The devil will tempt you, taunt you for your faith, and try to hurt you.

Remember your sins, learn humility, make much of the Cross, the Blood, the Gospel.  The most honorable thing to do - get up, and risk reputation, income, life, and everything for Jesus Christ's sake.  Avoid careless walking, walk circumspectly.  Charity and purity for Jesus' sake is good way.  Ability without humility is a disability.  Simple honesty and purity baffles crafty, cunning, sin-loving men. Be sincere in all your dealings with God and men.  Let your faith be thorough and true.  Truly believe and repent.  Depend continually upon the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the words of God to make and keep you faithful from day to day.  Win souls, fight your sins, do practical work for God.
