Snippets of Truth 6

If you steal your soul from God, you will lose it forever.  In Eternity there are two realms - everlasting life or everlasting fire.  Your soul has a great need for Christ; receive Christ into your soul, and He will meet your soul's needs instantly.  Come unto Jesus, and you will find rest unto your soul.  Lift up your soul to God.  Take the Bible very seriously.  If you die unpardoned and unconverted without Christ Jesus as your Sin-Bearer, you will suffer eternal recompense for the sins you have committed against God all of your life.  Human nature is always ducking and avoiding to answer the question concerning the salvation of the soul.  Man loves second-hand superficial religion.  Take special of your soul, not just your body.  Care much for your soul's eternal interests.

Deny ungodliness, that is, stop living as if God does not exist.  Men reject Christ because they are too busy; they are caught with the daily cares of this life.  They are too learned to believe something so simple as the Gospel of Christ.  They are too proud to receive Christ as a little child; His own received Him not.  They are too evil to receive Christ, because they love sin and darkness rather than light and truth.  Man's guilt has hardened his heart, and darkened his understanding.  The Holy Spirit must move and convince a man of his sins, and help him to foresee his doom, and change his mind towards the Savior, and make him willing to hear the Gospel message and receive Christ Jesus as His personal Sin-Bearer and Savior from the love of sin and the wrath to come.  The wrath of God abides on every Christ rejecter.  It's either works or grace, ceremonies or faith, self or Christ, church or the Cross, baptism or the Blood, sacraments or the Substitute, morality or the Mediator; it's your choice.  You can have free eternal life instantly through faith in the Atoning Blood of God manifest in the flesh, because the Lamb of God paid for your sins with His own life.

Make Christ the only pillar of your hope, and never seek to prop Him up with your own works.  All that God asks of you is just to trust what Jesus did for you on Calvary's Cross.  Your very first business is not to do, but to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ's Precious Blood.  Behold the Lamb of God - Look only to Jesus right now, and your soul shall live.  It's not your repentance that saves you, it is just the Blood of Christ that redeems the soul from sin.  Turn your eyes to the Cross of Christ and find rest for your soul.  Make Christ's finished work your soul's only Shelter from the wrath to come.  Only the Holy Spirit can convince a man of his sins against God, and lead him to seek the Righteousness of God which is Jesus Christ.  Really and at once seek the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart.  The living and loving Savior wants to save your soul from its enslavement to sinning.

Make a full surrender of yourself to Jesus.  Take the Christ of Salvation, not just the Salvation of Christ.  When you make sin little, you also make Christ little.  When you sense the heinousness and weight of your sins, you will see the preciousness of the Savior.  Make Christ all your goodness, for you are no good at all.  Sinners are devoid of everything that is pure and good.  You will find Christ as soon you lose yourself.  The end of yourself is the beginning of Christ.  Your self-righteousness cannot make Christ's Righteousness any better, and your sins cannot weaken it.  All your good works can never make your soul any safer.

Always try to make Christ known.  Make Christ great; hold Him in high esteem.  Make Christ your inward strength, and not yourself.  Get fresh grace and strengthening faith from Jesus every chance you get.  Get all your power for purity and usefulness from Jesus, and Him alone.  Everyday try to make Christ known to somebody around you, through good works and good words.  Devote all you have to Christ, spend and be spent in His service.  Be active for Christ, and you will be full of joy, but not any safer.  Be abundant in good works, and diligent in the service of God.  Our eternal security lies not in anything we do, or do not do.  The only basis for my Salvation is that Christ died for the ungodly.  Make Christ the grand object of your faith and life; seek always and everywhere to glorify Christ and make Him known to those around you.  Make Christ your Banker; deposit your soul into His hands for safekeeping; remember, if you try to hang on to your soul, you will surely lose it.
