God was manifest in the flesh - The King of Glory humbled Himself and became a Jewish man in order to suffer and die for sinners, especially you. Jesus is God, He became a man, He died, He lives, He bids you trust Him, promising that that you shall live forever. Trust Him with your sinful soul now. He is worthy of all your confidence. Sin not against Christ by neglecting Him. Sin not against your own soul by rejecting Him. The curse of sin has completely poisoned and killed your soul. But Christ was made a curse for you, He took upon Himself our sins, though in Him was no sin, yet He was made Sin for us. Trust Christ to be the sin-offering for you, to suffer for you, to bleed for you. All for nothing, a sinner can be saved. Come to Jesus for Everything. He is the way, the open way, the whole way, the free way. Nothing to pay, nothing to do, nothing to be, nothing to bring, no human merit, no preparations - just bring your guilt and misery to the Cross - that is all. Salvation is all of Grace, all the Gift of God to the vilest of the vile.
Jesus is God, He came all the way from Heaven for your sake. He is the God-Man, Immanuel, who was born and died, and bore the wrath of God due to your sins. Do not add any of your driveling merits to the worth of God’s Son. Foul infected rags from a dunghill cannot help you. Your nothingness can never be put side by side with the everlasting precious merits of God’s dear Son. Jesus is the only bread which true faith feeds upon. God over all, blessed forever, redeems sinners. The Word was made flesh and sacrificed for us. A perfect sinless man in union with the eternal God died for me. God really became a Substitute for those who had offended Him. There is no way by which a sinner can escape the guilt of human sin but by the blood of Jesus Christ. The Word was made flesh and came under the law. The Godhead and manhood in one person. He bore the iniquity of us all. He was numbered with the transgressors, and bore the sins of the whole world. He voluntarily became the Substitute, by the transference of sin from the sinner to Christ. Then the sinner ceases to be regarded as a sinner, his guilt is removed forever. The sinner is clear, the whole mass of his sin is not on Him any longer, but on Christ.
Jesus, the Son of God, has taken all my transgressions, He bore all my iniquities, my sins are moved from my soul and laid on Him. Imputation is the only way sin can be taken away from a sinner. The punishment of sin is demanded, God’s vengeance against human sin fell on Jesus Christ. The Savior endured the fullness of divine wrath on account of my sin. If you want to escape your sins, Christ is the only way. Future reformation cannot help removed your sins. Only the marvelous transaction can clear you from sin. The transaction of imputation is required in every man’s soul.
A believer may commit sin, but it is not imputed to Him, so the wrath of God will never come upon the saved sinner. He is free from guilt and wrath and curse. Christ Jesus is the way out of divine wrath. Sin kills us, guilt blasts our vain hopes, and crushes our human pride. Christ is the way to escape the dominion and power of sin. The tyranny and slavery of evil habits and corrupt desires. The imagination of our thoughts is only evil continually. Sin only leads to despair and despondency. I have sinned, but Jesus came to save sinners. You have no power to regenerate yourself. We are not saved by our own righteousness, for Christ died for the ungodly. Only the precious blood of Christ’s atonement can kill sin. Cling to His atoning sacrifice with purpose of heart. The sprinkling of His blood purifies from sinful habits. Flee to the Cross and escape from sin’s guilt, wrath, fear, and power. Christ Jesus is the priceless gem of Heaven. God veiled Himself in human flesh. The Infinite One took upon Him the form of a servant, and was found in fashion as a man. The Incarnate God died for sinners on Calvary’s Cross. Christ is most precious to every sinner who feels his sin. The most guilty heavy laden sinner can be saved now. God Himself dwelt among men and suffered in human flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Function with His Unction.
The Gospel is just this – every man is lost in his sins, but God became a man to save every lost man. The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Out of infinite love to His ungodly enemies, the Son of God took upon Himself human flesh, that he might suffere in your place. You see, your sin has to be paid for – someone has to suffer for every sin you’ve ever committed, or ever will commit. Jesus suffered what you ought to have suffered. His blood satisfied the divine justice of God. Jesus suffered a bloody death on Calvary’s Cross for your ungodly soul. The Incarnate Creator bled for me. The King of Glory was buried for me. God stooped from His glory to be mocked and spit upon by sinful lips. Was ever love like this? Yield to His gentle bleeding love. This goodness will win every human ear and heart that feels their sin. The carnal mind has an accursed love for sin. When you reject Jesus Christ, you wrong your own soul. The groans of Golgotha, the tears of Gethsemane, the gore of Golgotha, the gloom of the grave is what was required to pay for sin. Your sins made Jesus bleed. You must be saved by Christ, or else perish. God Himself came down from Heaven and put on human flesh and suffered and died that you might not be damned. The Lord Jesus Christ appeared in human form and put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Jesus left the royalties of Heaven, for there was no other way to put away human sin. Think often of the terrible pains and grief He endured for you.
It is true wisdom to give up every other confidence but Jesus Christ. What are you resting in at this present moment? All other grounds of confidence are utterly worthless. Your works will never open the gates of Heaven. The Christ of God bled for sinners – He is the way. Jesus is the God of bleeding love. The infinitely holy God was numbered with the transgressors. Wonder of wonders – Jesus died for sinners! The Just for the unjust, bearing the punishment due to sinners for guilt. Jesus is God, the Eternal, the Infinite, the ever Blessed. Meditate upon His spotless character, ponder His sufferings which He endured on Calvary, follow Him into the Grave, then from the Grave to Resurrection, then from the Resurrection to His triumphant Ascension up to His eternal throne. Meditate much upon His blessed person, the details of His work, the blessings of Calvary. God, the everlasting Word, was made flesh and dwelt among men. The whole weight of human guilt was laid on Him. In order to put human sin away, Jesus must die, for death was the penalty for guilt. He went up to the Cross and endured agonies unspeakable.
Away with your learned sermons, fine talk, and pretentious philosophies. Evolution is a devilish fine-spun theory to bewilder and decoy educated Christ rejecters. Simple faith in Christ Himself is the way. The plain, poor man’s Gospel. The Incarnate God is all my hope and trust. The babe of Bethlehem, the man of sorrows, the substitutionary Sacrifice for sinners, the risen Lord. God came to earth in human flesh, and loved, lived, and died to redeem sinful mankind. Come now and ask for reconciliation. God in human flesh, bleeding, suffering, dying. His wounds flowed with mercy. Look to them, and your soul shall live. Divine wrath is only appeased by the bloody death of Jesus. His amazing abounding grace removes sins. Sin separated God and men, but the incarnation and the atonement bridged the separation. The simple Gospel of the Son of man. The incarnated God suffered for the guilty, the Just for the unjust, to bring them to God. Love Christ, and you shall hate your sins. Trust Him, and you will no longer trust yourself. Submit yourself to His will, and He will break Satan’s yoke within you. No one else can do it. Jesus loved me and reconciled me. The love of Christ constrains, dominates, and controls us. God reached out to sinners through the atoning blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Atonement propitiates God's wrath and is consistent with His holiness. The world's way is do good, but leave Christ out of it. Trust the works Jesus’ life and death - The Atonement. We deserved eternal death and divine wrath, separated from God, in bondage to sin and kingdom of Satan.
The penal Substitute for me was punished. A Propitiation is One who takes away anger. Jesus was the anger-bearer – He is our Propitiation. By Him we are brought back into fellowship and we reconciled back to God and eternally saved. All of our sins were credited to Christ, all of His Righteousness is instantly and freely credited to us. Jesus was treated as if He lived our life, and we are treated as if we lived His life. Our sins and divine wrath were focused on Christ. Sinning comes naturally to us. Our sins were poured over His purity, wave after wave. He did it willingly. My debt He paid, my death He died, that I could live forever with Him. Jesus took all the blame for your sins. Through His suffering, I am free. We are the enemies who deserved to die. The plague of plagues is Sin. Severed relationship. Sin-plagued mankind required a Mediator. We are to be claimed, controlled, dominated by Christ’s love. Jesus rescues sinners from darkness. You can only be acceptable and fit in God's presence through Christ.
Today, most churches are run by CEOs and counselors and politicians, not pastors and preachers. Polls, blogs, internet, TV run the way America thinks. America is a shallow and entertainment-driven society. Jesus is the penalty Substitute, the vicarious penal Substitute. God’s anger is upon sin at all times. Propitiator – the wrath bearer, substitute, curse bearer. From hostility to harmony, from enmity to peace. All human beings need to be reconciled back to God. All men by nature are slaves to sin. God made Jesus to be Sin on our behalf. Jesus was treated as if He had lived our life, our sins were legally charged to Jesus. From hostility to harmony. The only cure for the sin plague is the Precious Blood of the Incarnate God. Heaven’s great LORD became incarnate as a man, He stooped to redeem lost humanity from the ruin of the fall. Simply have done with reliance upon yourself, have done with confidence in all but Jesus, rest alone in what He has done. On the Incarnate God fix all your hope.
The substitutionary sacrifice, the complete Atonement of Christ is all my confidence. I am reconciled to God by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Receive the living Gospel within your soul. Adore the incarnate Creator, trust in Him. Take the Incarnate Wisdom to be your King, and sit as a little child at His feet to learn with all your heart. Human nature will have it that you must do something to be saved, it must try and fret and worry. The right way is to end your doing and fretting by sitting down content with Jesus’ doing, satisfied with His Righteousness, and rest on the merit of His Precious Blood. Accept everything from Jesus’ hand gratis. Be poor in spirit and sit at Jesus’ feet. Ask nothing but what He makes you, have nothing but what He gives you. Ask nothing but what God promises, trust in nothing but what Jesus has done for you. Desire nothing but what He has prepared. Sit at Jesus’ feet in humble submission.
Jesus touches us with the hand of humanity, but He touches the Almighty the hand of Deity. He is man, He feels your needs. He is God, He is able to supply them. Think of His name, Jesus, Savior. Think of His work. He is come to seek and save that which was lost. Think of what He has done, He shed His blood. Think of what He is doing. He is pleading before the throne of God for sinners. Giving repentance and remission of sins. Christ Jesus is attractive to sinners who need Him. The very center of the divine heart. God spared not His Son, but He spares the sinner, He poured out His wrath upon His Son, and made Him the Substitute for sinners, that He might lavish love upon the guilty who deserved His anger. False systems of religion teach people to DO, DO, DO for their salvation. The Invisible Creator is made manifest in the flesh for our sakes. Jesus came from Heaven to earth to redeem sinners. God over all, Blessed forever, lived here for 33 years with the sons of men, bearing the infirmities of our flesh, sharing our sorrows, His feet weary walking the roads of Palestine, suffering hunger and thirst and labor, His knees bent to the earth in prayer, His eyes weeping, He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.
Love Christ, and you shall hate your sins. God was manifest in the flesh, and if you desire to see God, you must see Him in Christ Jesus. The simple truth that God became man and suffered in man’s stead, and God has promised that whosoever believeth in Jesus shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Henceforth you cannot serve sin. Christ has made an accepted Atonement for all our sin. By the blood of Jesus you are under bonds to hate evil. You cannot return to and indulge in the sins which your Savior bore the wrath of God. Gaze upon the bleeding wounds of Jesus. No more wanton dalliance with transgression. Iniquity is the root, transgression is the fruit of inward sin. You sin must die, and only the Cross crucifies sin. Tell everyone about Jesus, tell them about the Son of God made flesh, tell them about Substitution, speak out the Gospel Message plainly. Jesus is all my salvation and desire. I rest on Jesus only, without a mixture of any other hope, I love Him supremely, and desire to honor and obey Him in life until death. Poor puny man has no merit. God Incarnate took upon Himself human sin, and out of divine love condescended to be numbered with the transgressors, and to suffer for sin that was not His own. Sin is as black as night and hideous as Hell. There is power to save in the atoning blood of the Incarnate God. The Incarnate God crucified for human sin, the Mediator covered with bloody sweat, the Redeemer wounded and slain. God dwelt in human flesh died in order that human guilt might be put away. Christ for me, Christ is all.
