Salt and Light 6

Americans today are more worried about what is "legal" than what is moral, pure and right. Mark it down, Americans that scream about human rights are normally the same ones that believe in the abortion of babies that takes away their right to be a human being. Abortion, sodomy, sex change, same-sex marriage, drug addiction, debauchery - The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget God. *Psalm 9:17*  Keep on saying NO to your sins and immorality, and say YES to JESUS and purity.  O my God, help my motive to be for Jesus' sake.

There is no other Hope for the United States of America than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and simple faith in His precious atoning blood. *Romans 5:9* Human evil, divine justice, bleeding love, and free forgiveness all converged at one place called Calvary's Cross where God manifest in the flesh bore in His own body all of human sin; where He suffered the divine justice due to our sins; where He loved us to death with His own blood; and where now He offers us the free forgiveness of sins through simple faith in His atoning blood.

Have you ever just loved someone on purpose who was your enemy and didn't give a flip about you? That's what the Lord Jesus Christ (God in human flesh) did for you and me when He laid down life on the Cross. He loved us to death, He bore our sins in His own body, He even became Sin itself (II Corinthians 5:21), He suffered the wrath of God, and He shed His Sinless, Precious Blood on Calvary's tree to fully pay the infinite penalty due to our sins.

Tune out the worldly clatter and turn down the religious chatter, and let your mind and soul focus in on this one Essential matter - The Free Forgiveness of Sins through faith in the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. There's no time like the present to ensure that *your sins* are forgiven by Christ Himself before your immortal soul exits out of this world into Eternity. Christ died for the ungodly. *Romans 5:6*

Faith is divine strength which allows our empty hands to lay hold on Jesus for eternal life.  Faith is the divine ability that is given to us by the Holy Spirit to follow, obey and please the Lord Jesus Christ with your daily thought life, speech and behavior.

Human evil, divine justice, bleeding love, and free forgiveness all converged at Calvary's Cross when God manifest in the flesh bore in His own body all of human sin, He suffered the divine justice due to our sins, He loved us to death with His own blood, and now offers us free forgiveness through simple faith in His atoning blood.

Now remember, there is no stain on the future.  God is so good; He keeps all the pages of the tomorrows of our lives clean. It's up to us to keep a good record on a daily basis.  Keep your record straight; you can do it by the grace of God.

A man whose heart is not right cannot see right. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. A man who is a thief thinks everybody will steal from him. A man who is crooked thinks everybody else is crooked.  Whenever you find an unreasonable and profane man, there is something stinging him on the inside. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. The presence and grace of God is what you really need in this life.  The Bible is a book made up of what God said, what the devil said, and what man said. If God said it, it is true. If the devil said it, it is a lie.

Everyone is looking for a leaning post. The man that trusts God is always all right. Even if that man is dying, he is all right. If you are trusting the Lord Jesus Christ, and you are going God's way, and you’ll be all right. You can only conquer your sins through the Holy Spirit's strength and grace. Genuine faith in God gives you courage to live right, and be true to God.

God is the only Person who can bring you happiness and contentment. Birds were made for the air, fish were made for the water, souls were made for Christ. Sinners try every day to be happy without Christ in their sins, but they can’t.  Joy is something you stumble upon on the path of God’s will for your life. First you need a right relationship with God. If you are a discontented, restless soul tossed to and fro and driven by the storms of circumstances, you need peace with God through the blood of Jesus Christ. If you go to Hell, you’ll be out of place down there, because you didn't have to go there.

If you live godly, you’ll suffer persecution. Happy are the undefiled who walk in the law of the Lord. You can’t be a Christian, until you are a Christian. You can’t be a Christian without Christ.  You’re not a good husband so you can get a wife, you already have a wife. You’re a good husband, because you love your wife. A Christian is not someone that does good to get Salvation, you get Salvation so you can then do good. You can't earn, pay for, or steal salvation. Nothing short of Jesus Christ will ever satisfy divine justice. If you are troubled about one of your bad habits, then you know it offends God. We are not worthy to have God as our Father. God help us to live like we ought to live. God give us help to be and do for Jesus' sake.

Be sure to trust Jesus first. If you’re honest and sincere and fed up with your sins, you can find Jesus. Seek Him with the whole heart. After you are born again, obey the parts of the Bible you do understand. Seek to know the will of God with a sincere heart. Seek the divine nature, and desire the sincere milk of the word. Be all out for God with all your heart. Have a sincere desire to do God's will, ask around and find out what pleases and displeases Him. Ask the Lord Jesus to help you think and live right. Don’t worry about something you don’t know, do what you do know. Do what’s clear to you. Don’t try to sell yourself on what you want to do.

Go out and reach the common people with the simplicity of the Gospel by simply trusting, loving and knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. Come Now to the Cross for Rest. The bummiest bum that ever slept on the street goes to heaven the same way as a king that sits on a throne. If you are discouraged today, you need to get nearer to Jesus Christ. *Philippians 4:4* If you have Christ, you’ll go to Heaven; if you don’t have Him, you’re going to Hell. Jesus is the Narrow way that leads to Heaven and New Jerusalem. The way to the Cross is a clearly marked road.
