There Is Still Hope

There is still Hope today, for God hath raised *Him* from the dead. *Romans 10:9* By the way, the *Him* in that verse of Scripture is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, not Muhammed the false prophet who was a vicious killer, just like his followers today. Muhammed is still dead in the dirt today, and he will always will be, but Christ Jesus is alive this morning and making intercession at the right hand of God. Most people don't know this, but the Qur'an teaches that Jesus never died on a Cross or rose from the dead, but He did. That's makes the Qur'an a lie, but obama (a politician) or osteen (a religionist) won't ever tell you that.

Now remember what Jesus Christ the Lord said, "I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." *Revelation 1:18* Christians celebrate Christ's resurrection all the time, not just on Sunday or on Easter. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but *Christ liveth in me*: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave *Himself* for me. Jesus suffered and bled to death on Calvary's Cross especially for you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively Hope by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. When Christ, who is our Life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with *Him* in glory.

Christ first, self last, that is all.

The Spirit of God Moved

The Spirit of God moved (Genesis 1:2).  You don't have to read the Bible very long to understand the key to you being saved.  If the Holy Spirit doesn't move and cause you to understand your danger, lostness, and sinfulness while you remain in your natural state, there is absolutely no hope for your lost soul.  If the Holy Spirit doesn't move in your sinful thoughts and unregenerate mind, you will remain dead in your sins without hope and without God. 

The work of the Holy Spirit is the first work of grace in a sinner's soul. You must come to your senses about the pure evil of your sinning against God continually day after day.  The effectual work of the Spirit must come to your soul or nothing will ever be eternally done within you. There will be nothing savingly done for you unless the Spirit of God begins to move and work upon your soul. Without the Holy Ghost's influence and quickening, your soul will remain void, with no life of God within it, no faith in Christ, and no true hope for the future. Your soul is emptiness itself without Christ Jesus. This is a very humbling and humiliating truth for human nature to swallow.  

The Spirit of God is like the wind in the sails of a ship: if the wind doesn't blow, the ship doesn't get anywhere; likewise, the Holy Spirit must blow through your heart and mind, or you will never be moved to sincerely trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. *John 3:8*

The very best that mere human morality can ever produce is vanity and nothingness. You must come to the end of yourself. You cannot control your life or your eternal destiny. All human effort which men make by nature, they are only religious confusion. Vices and carnal habits may be discarded, but they will only be replaced by something worse - carnal pride and self-will. Certain sins may be forsaken for a while, only to come back to haunt you. The dog is returned to his own vomit again, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. You can make great effort and do your very best, but that which is born of the flesh is still just sinful flesh. When the flesh does its dead-level best, it is still only flesh. Except a man be born again by the Spirit of God, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

There is no light in the lost soul of man. There is nothing there whatsoever to help the Spirit of God. You cannot prepare the way for the Spirit to come, He doesn't need your assistance at all. In the unregenerate man, there is nothing whatsoever that can help God. Human nature proudly wants to help God out. Stop refusing to become the servant of the eternal Spirit of truth. You are not half dead, but you are wholly "dead in trespasses and sins." And in the dead sinner there is nothing that can help his spiritual resurrection. 

Every soul is dead till the Spirit of God comes to him. You only have death, rottenness, filth, stench, and corruption to offer the Lord. Human nature is like a disease-infested leper house, a corrupt grave, a little hell till Jesus passes by. Only the Holy Spirit can begin a work of grace in you. Jesus dwelt *with* sinners, but the Holy Ghost dwells *in* sinners. This is a miracle of mercy that God's Spirit would inhabit such vile souls as ours.

There is nothing at all in the heart by nature that can please the Holy Spirit, but everything is there that would grieve Him. Only the Spirit of Christ can work repentance for sin in you. Human nature is full of unbelief. The heart is fond of sin, and is inclined to run away from God and do everything that is contrary to Him. Human nature is full of chaos and darkness. In mercy the Spirit of God comes and deals with sinful men. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The work of the Spirit brings eternal life freely and delivers the soul from old habits, old ways, from hell fire, and lifts the soul all the way up to heaven. The work of the Spirit is equally needful and necessary for you whether you sit in a prison cell or on a church pew. Wretched and respectable people must all be born again. The all-important matter is the New Birth - the life of God must be put within you by the Spirit of God Himself. You are completely dead in sin, and only the Holy Ghost with His saving power can quicken and resurrect your soul from its dead state. 

You are a gross sinner bent on your own destruction till the Spirit of God moves in your soul. Great sinners need the great Savior and His great salvation. The man who is greatly in debt will the love the Friend that forgives all his debts freely. Christ Jesus is the Physician, you are the patient, He is certainly able to heal your sick soul, if you will simply yield to Him. Your soul is empty of everything but sin. Sin brings you into a very sad and miserable condition. Look away to the Cross now, trust in Jesus' precious blood alone to save your ungodly soul.

By nature, you are sunk in sin and superstition, you do not wish to be saved from sin, you have no care at all about the Cross and the Gospel. The only power that can save you from sin lies outside yourself. You will never be accepted by God through anything that you are in yourself. You can only be accepted by God in Christ Jesus. You can only become a living child of the living God through simple faith in Jesus' precious blood (Romans 3:23-25). There is in you nothing whatsoever that can recommend you to God. Christ and He alone must save you if you are ever to be saved. Cease from your own works, leave off the whole idea of self-salvation, and fall down at the foot of the Cross, and cry out to Christ for mercy. 

Salvation is of the Lord alone. You can only safely enter Eternity through the Cross. Everything that is of human nature's doing will have to be forsaken, your soul must be clothed in the spotless robe of Christ's Righteousness. You cannot continue to build on the sandy foundation of your human merit, all that you build will surely not stand. You are utterly unable to do anything to help save your soul from sin. Jesus did everything for you long, long ago. You can only build upon what Jesus Christ has already done, He is the true Foundation and Rock of Salvation. The Spirit of God moved (Genesis 1:2).

Plain and Simple

This is the plain and simple truth about the living Savior that makes the believing sinner's heart free and pure.  JESUS, the Son of God, God manifest in the flesh, bled and died to save us from every stain of sin; to save us from our propensity to sin, from our love of sin, from the power of our vile habits, and the snares of Satan.  Faith in His Blood is vital to your forgiveness of sins God in the flesh has come to save us from death eternal, to save us from the wrath to come. God has sent us a perfect Savior. We could never save ourselves, but One has come who can. Oh how I need a great Savior, for I am a great sinner. A little Savior would not have answered my sin problem, for my great sin needed a great Atonement, and my hard heart needed great Grace to soften it.

Now the Man who came down from heaven to earth to save us was God Himself — Jesus of Nazareth — He was nothing less than God — counting it not robbery to be equal with God. He is great in his nature, for as God He is infinite — Omnipotent. He is great also in what He has done. Look to Jesus on the Cross; it is the Son of God pouring out His life for sinners that they may live through His death. There must be great merit in such a sinless blood sacrifice. He who gave Himself there upon the cross, being very God of very God, and certainly man — there can be no limit set to the value of the Atonement which He made for sinners. It is a great Savior that God gives to sinners. And now that Jesus has risen from the dead and lives to save any sinner to the uttermost that will come to Him.

All your confidence must be placed in the Crucified Savior. Christ Crucified is the foundation of all our everlasting hopes, for Christ could not have risen from the dead if He had not first died. Turn your confidence to Christ Jesus suffering in the sinner’s stead. “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth,” is a call from Christ upon the Cross. Remember that all your hope must hang upon JESUS who hung upon the cross, and died there for you. God must punish sin, He cannot let sin go unpunished without compromising the purity of His Justice. Therefore, the Law of God must be honored, His justice must be vindicated, His righteousness must be upheld, your crimes must be expiated (atoned for) by suffering and death. Who, then, shall endure the penance or make the reparation? Shall the dread sentence of eternal wrath fall upon all mankind? No; Jesus steps in between God and the sinner, Christ took upon Himself the wrath of God, and His shoulders ran with divine blood.

Do you ask why was a perfect sinless man was crucified upon a criminal's cross. This is the answer: “Jesus was moved with compassion.” “He saved others; Himself he could not save.” Christ was so moved with compassion, that compassion, as it were, did eat Him up. Jesus suffered and died for sinful men, and after He had died and was in the grave for three days, He rose again from the dead. He has now gone into his glory; now He is living at the right hand of the Father.

By nature, and by practice too, we are all guilty, and we all deserve to be cast into hell — the best of us as well as the worst. So, let us all go to the Cross where the Savior carried the great load of our sin upon Himself, and bore the consequences we deserved, that He might set us free from sin forever. Let us look up to Him, and, by faith, view the flowing of His blood from those many wounds that He received for us. Look into that dear face of His — view the image of matchless misery and majesty combined; see His thorn-crowned brow, and all the marks of shame that cruel men put upon Him. Hear Him cry, “My God, my God, why hast you forsaken Me?” and, as we see Him die all alone, Believe in Him. Only Jesus can speak peace and pardon to your guilty spirit. “I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me.” 

Away to the Cross; behold His thorny crown. Flee at once, poor guilty sinner, and by childlike faith cling to the great Atonement which was made by the Lord Jesus Christ upon the tree, and let that your fear of death be ended once for all. Go straight away to the Cross; go directly to Christ Himself for all your salvation. You can't get any credit for your own salvation, Jesus Christ must get all the glory for saving you, or you'll have to go to Hell where you belong. Jesus must do it all, on your best day and on your worst day, you are a crooked rotten wretch. Face it - you're nothing but a nothing - you are altogether unworthy of God's mercy.

How then shall the prisoner at the bar of God's judgment escape? Is there any possibility? At the Cross, God showed how He might be just, and yet be gracious to guilty sinner! The Almighty said, “Sinner, I must and will punish you on account of sin! But I love you; my heart longs to have mercy on you. My justice says ‘smite,’ but My love hold back my hand, and says, ‘spare, spare the sinner!’ Oh! sinner, my heart has devised the plan of salvation; my Son, the pure and perfect shall stand and die in your place, and be accounted guilty, and you, the guilty one, shall stand in my Son’s stead and be accounted Righteous!” 

 The transposition of Christ and the sinner is the way of salvation. Here's the Gospel plain and simple: Christ was spotless; sinners were vile. Christ said, “My Father, treat me as if I were a sinner; treat the sinner as if he were Me. Smite Me as sternly as you please, for I will bear your wrath, so your grace can be extended to the sinner, and your justice may be satisfied completely.” The trusting sinner now stands in Christ’s stead with the Saviour’s garments on, and he is accepted by God only because of what Christ did for him. Do you say that such an exchange as this is unjust? Will you say that God should not have made his Son a substitute for us, and have let us go? Remember - it was purely voluntary on the part of Christ. Christ was willing to stand in our stead; He had to drink the cup of our punishment, and He was quite willing to do it.

God made Jesus to our Substitute. The Bible says in II Corinthians 5:21, God “hath made Jesus to be sin for us;” Christ did stand in the room, place, and stead of every sinner, Christ stood in the sinner’s place, and any sinner that will trust to Christ alone can now stand in Christ’s place justified and innocent in God's sight. Your sins will taken off your soul and put on Christ’s head. Jesus was never was a sinner; he never knew sin. “Sinner, you can become like Christ; and Christ takes the place of the sinner!” The guilty sinner is treated as if he were Christ, and Christ is treated as if he were the sinner. That is what is meant by the Scripture II Corinthians 5:21; "God hath made Jesus to be Sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ.”

But What About Your Soul?

Stop, take a few minutes, and start thinking about your soul! You would be wise to spend one whole day humbly and carefully searching the Scriptures, sincerely seeking the Lord Jesus Christ, and yielding to the Holy Spirit. You are living every day with your soul in jeopardy. This is the all-important business. Stop everything and see to the safety of your soul. You insure everything of earthly value you own, but your poor soul remains uninsured, give heed to the Gospel truth. Folks today are highly concerned about their diet, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, teeth, and hair, but their concern for their poor soul comes in dead last. You have a tendency to sin, and that tendency is your misery and danger. Be kind to your poor soul, personally take it to Jesus Christ and let Him rescue you from sin and Satan. Don't remain a slave to sin and a dupe of religion or Darwinism.

Men today care much about everything but their immortal soul; they care about their complexion, weight loss, cell phone, automobile, and wardrobe; everything and anything but their soul. Be wise - See to your eternal well-being. It is uncertain that you will live another day - life is as frail as a spider's web. You could be in Hell before the sun comes up. It is the highest wisdom to fear God and face the real needs of your soul. Give your soul first place. Settle the business of your soul before you attend to anything else. When your money must be left behind, and your body is dead on a gurney, your soul shall still be living on in Eternity somewhere. Where will you be in 100 years? Think long and hard about that. Christ died for you so you could die and meet God safely. Think about the Savior living, dying, and raising from the dead for you. Remember Calvary and the Lamb of God who bled for your sins there. Remember that!

The only thing that keeps you breathing and thinking is the compassion and mercy of your good Creator. There is but a step between you and everlasting separation from the presence of the good and merciful God - Jesus Christ. Your only hope is to repent towards God, trust the Savior's works, and simply rest in the Savior's blood Atonement. Resolve to seek and trust Jesus now. Stake all your eternity on God's Blood that flowed from Christ's veins. Don't remain dead in your sins and lost in your blind ignorance. Turn from your silly ways, trust God to do something for your soul that you cannot do, flee to the Merciful Mediator, look unto HIM at once, trust your soul to Jesus, you cannot face God all alone, you're a sinner, you need a Shield from the wrath to come. Because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

*Hath Life*

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him (John 3:36). Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life (John 5:24). Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on *ME* hath everlasting life (John 6:47). Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day (John 6:54). And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life (I John 2:25). And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life (I John 5:11-12). And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (I John 5:20).

You have had many mercies in this life, your Creator has been in them all. The air you breathe, the food you eat, the clothes that are on your back, the home you live and sleep in, your friends and family that help you, God's mercies have preserved you to this very day. This same good God you hate for some insane reason. Cursed is the man that hungers and thirsts after unrighteousness. Your very consciousness of your sins daily proves that you are guilty before God.

Hell bent, Christ rejecting, Gospel hating, Holy Ghost resisting sinners will inevitably end up in hell and lose their soul if they are not careful. Without Christ you are in extreme danger and currently exposed to the wrath of God. Your sins have greatly offended your Maker. Your wicked thoughts and habits control you. Every one of your sins must be punished. You definitely need a Substitute to take your sins' due punishment. Your sins will soon carry you down to Hell. But now, you are simply invited to come to Jesus Christ just as you are and find mercy with God through Christ's sinless blood Atonement. Only HIS BLOOD can save you from the wrath to come.

Hungry mouths and thirsty lips are always welcome at the feet of Jesus. Don't go on in your sins any longer. The greater damnation is reserved for impenitent men who hear the truth of the Gospel, willfully reject it, and remain lost and continue to love their sins. Look to the eternal needs of your soul. The more afraid of yourself you are the better. Your first object in this life should be your soul's salvation. Sin-distracted soul, you are asked to do nothing or be nothing. Cease from self, begin in Christ. Leave off trusting in your doing, come and trust in the man Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5-6) who did it all for your sinful soul. Depend on nothing but what Christ has done for your soul. Cast your soul's confidence on Christ's Blood and Merits, and you are now eternally and freely forgiven for Jesus' sake. Hang all your salvation on Christ's Finished Work.

Repent and be converted in the name of Jesus Christ. Cast the whole burden of your sins, doubts, fears, and anxieties wholly on HIM. To live in Christ, you must first die to yourself. Flee to Christ Himself for refuge. He will not reject you. Put your dark doubts away. Stop resting your soul on chances and darwinism. Christ is able to save any sinner, especially poor rebels; doubt Him not. Come on to Jesus; all sinners far and wide are welcome at the Cross today: have mercy on your poor lost soul, God help you to come to the Lamb of God for free forgiveness of sins and rest on the Rock of His eternal love and blood. You are teetering on the brink of the grave and Eternity. It must be mercy, great mercy, that must save your sinful soul. Trust only in the sinner's Substitute - yield yourself to Him, trust to His finished work alone, and life eternal is yours. Trust to Jesus for the free and eternal salvation only He can give. Fix all your confidence and reliance on HIM who was crucified and raised from the dead to save sinners. Plead only the merits of Jesus' precious blood. Your human effort will land you in hell. Never lose your simple trust in the Crucified Creator, only by the blood of the Lamb can you overcome the power of sin. Rely alone on Jesus Christ now.

The opportunity to be saved from sin is knocking at your door. You will *never* be CONTENT until you seek and find the living Savior. If you want to go to Heaven, trust Jesus Christ's shed blood; if you want to go to Hell, just trust something else, anything else, it doesn't matter, one road to Hell is just as good as another. Never depend on yourself or darwin. None of your works are required, no preparations, no self-righteousness, no doings of yours are needed. Your first business is to trust in Christ Himself. Cast aside all your doings, and depend simply, wholly, and entirely upon Christ's doings and dying and resurrection. Your merits are good for nothing, you can get no benefit by them. Your own works are useless, they reek in the nostrils of a holy God. Your sinfulness is your only claim to salvation. Acknowledge yourself to be a lost sinner, and Christ will save you. You must be saved simply and freely by divine Charity and heavenly Mercy. Simply accept free pardon of sin through His wounds and stripes. Give up your evil practices, abhor your own righteousness. You must simply depend on nothing but the Precious Blood of Christ. He that believeth on the Son of God hath everlasting life. Seek Christ, plead His Precious Blood.

The Bible JESUS

For ye know the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. *II Corinthians 8:9*

We know how the Lord Jesus Christ loved us, because He gave Himself for us and loved us with all the energy of His being.  He gave much, because He loved much.  He gave until He felt the pinch, He gave all He had, and then He gave much more, His own life for His enemies.  Christ Jesus felt poverty because He had to become a man.  The Infinite Creator humbled Himself and dwelt here on Earth in human flesh, so that I could be rescued from my sinfulness.  The very God who hung the stars in a million galaxies, that same God hung on Calvary's Cross for me.  The Lamb of God whom angels adored and before whom all of Heaven bowed in awe was born in a cattle shed where oxen fed.  He was robed with Righteousness and Light in glory, but He laid all that aside, and put on the rags of humanity.  The Prince of glory became a Jewish peasant, so that I could be redeemed from all my iniquities.  Emmanuel, God with us, stooped way down when He visited Bethlehem 2,000 years ago as an infant.  It was by His deep poverty that I have become eternally rich in Christ.  The Godhead and mankind became one in Christ Jesus; He was God Incarnate.

The Lord Jesus lived a life of poverty and obscurity for many years in Nazareth.  From morning until night for years, He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.  Jesus spoke of His poverty when He said, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.” He never had a bank account or any real estate.  Jesus suffered hunger, thirst, weariness, want, and misery - all types of poverty.  Jesus became absolutely poor in all points, even unto death, so that He could make me rich spiritually.

Jesus took the Father's just wrath against my sins - He drank the bitter cup of wrath, so I could drink the sweet cup of Salvation.  Judas betrayed Jesus, then they bound Him, and led Him away captive to the judgment halls of Annas, Caiaphas, Herod and Pilate.  He was insulted, mocked and abused.  He was the Helper of the helpless, but they were cruel and unkind to Him.  He was tender and compassionate to everyone He met, but they brutalized and murdered Him.  They falsely accused and slandered Him, and sought to take away His sinless life.  Pilate could never find any fault in Him, but he handed Jesus over to the mob.  God the Father laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all.  He was numbered with the transgressors.  His name was drug through the mud.  He endured the consequences due to my sins.

Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sins; How shall my tongue describe Him, Where shall its praise begin?  The soldiers and priests ridiculed Him; they ridiculed His royalty by putting a reed scepter in His innocent hand, by putting an old purple coat over His dear shoulders, and by placing a crown of thorns His precious head. Jesus was completely innocent, but He became guilty for me.  They blindfolded Him and slapped Him around.  They spit in His face, and treated Him like a criminal.  He was put to shame for my soul's sake.  The Most High God was humiliated on account of me.  They took Him and scourged His back until He was covered with stripes and covered in blood. All the brutal beatings that I deserved have fallen upon Jesus, my Substitute; and now, not one drop of divine wrath can fall upon me, and my sinful record is forever cleared before God.  Because of Jesus' Precious Blood, not one speck, spot, or stain of sin remains on my soul today.

At the last, they led Jesus away to a place called Calvary where they crucified criminals.  They nailed Him to the Cross that day to die in my place.  He became Sin for me, He was made a Curse for me, so my sins could be taken away forever freely.  The soldiers stripped Him down naked and then gambled for His garments.  Jesus hung there naked, so I could be clothed in God's Righteousness.  God the Father forsook Jesus on the Cross when He became Sin, and now God will never forsake me.  Wonderful grace of Jesus, reaching to all the lost, by His grace I have been freely pardoned, and saved to the uttermost; my chains have been torn asunder, giving me Liberty, His mercy has reached even me.

The Lord of glory suffered there in agony on the Cross for hours and hours, and finally, He cried, "It is finished!", and then He gave up the ghost and bowed His head in death.  My sins and eternal death died in Him; and now I have found eternal life in His bloody death, and Heaven in His Cross.  He was condemned, but now I am Justified; He died, but now I live with no fear of death; He was emptied, but now I am filled with the Holy Spirit. Wonderful Grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled, by His transforming power, He has made me God's dear child, He has purchased peace and heaven, for all Eternity.  O what a Savior!

Monkey Business

Evolution is a bunch of monkey business that is believed and taught by lost professors across America today.  There's a lot of money ($$$) to be made in teaching evolution - the love of money is the root of all evil.  Evolution:  an absurd devilish idea and that says that by mere chance you came from the GOO, to the ZOO, to YOU - but then, oops, it takes you off into Hell where you really belong for sinning against and rejecting a good and kind Creator (Matthew 5:45). Atheists blindly swallow down Dr. Darwin's poisonous kool-aid and deadly prescription like they have good sense.  All evolutionists are deluded because they continually yield to their sinful nature.  Evolution is just another wile and device that Satan concocted to deceive and take simple sin-loving souls to Hell with him.

Evolution is not a fact - it is a blind guess from a blind sinner named Charlie Darwin.  Darwin was not a real scientist, he only had a theology degree.  Darwin loved sin so he made up his own religion - Evolution - the worship of ME.  There is no real evidence in the fields of real science to support the idea of Evolution.  No sane person believes that he came from a baboon.  You have to be mentally sin-sick to believe in evolution. Doubting evolution is like doubting that Peter Pan ever existed.  The universe is here today, because the ONLY WISE Almighty God has intelligently designed and sustained it.  Natural selection is never evolution.  Everything always gets worse and deteriorates, nothing ever gets better, including human nature.  Human nature is always bent to immorality and insanely runs off into the Darkness. Common design means there is a Common Designer.  Sedimentary layers only show layers of dirt and rock, not that you came from a monkey.  Mutations never improve anything, they only cause bad things to happen.  Evolution is just downright dopy.

Atheists are willingly and continually ignorant of the Truth, only because they love and cling to their sinful self.  Idolatry (vain worship of self) will surely take the stubborn atheist off into Hell.  The  atheist has his understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in him, because of the blindness of his heart.  But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.  The Creator maketh HIS sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and He sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Your Sins are real, and you need a real Savior who died to take away your real Guilt, your sins must be forgiven freely through Christ's finished work, so God will can be glorified to the MAX.

*Trust the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh - lose your sins.
*Trust Charles Darwin or Richard Dawkins - lose your soul.

YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.

Depart from Evil

Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to Depart from evil is understanding. In the Bible, when you consider, honor, regard, respect, and love God, and loathe and flee from sin, you are becoming wise. Sin is contrary to the holy nature and pure will of God, and sin is very bad in its effects and consequences. The way of transgressors is hard.

The genuine fruit and result of the fear of the Lord is when you are careful not to commit a sin which grieves the heart of God. Abstain from all appearance of evil - flee youthful lusts - keep thyself pure. It is an awful thing to be enslaved t any lust or sin. Sin reigns and has great power over every lost atheist; sin causes them to do and think and say that which is evil; and hinders them from the right thing.

A wise man is one who senses God's goodness towards him, and then shuns and avoids everything that may lead him to sin. Sin is the opposite of the grace and fear of God. When you forget God and mess around with sin, you're a fool. The fear of God (the desire to please God out of grateful love) comes from the grace of God, it is purely a gift to a sinner. God sees you and knows you, nothing passes by His eye, He sees everything all the time. This truth is terribly frightening to the atheist (Proverbs 15:3).

Our society today is populated with a bumper crop of failures. In America, fools are more organized and educated than ever before. The country is filled to the brim with educated moral failures. Why? Because when some things change, some things never change - that is - knowledge may advance, but the fatal condition of the human heart does not. There are 3,000 books published in the world every day; the world is ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of The Truth (II Timothy 3:7; John 14:6; John 17:17). You can graduate at the top of your class, and still FAIL in life. You're going to need more than an IQ or a college degree at the White Throne Judgment.

Fools despise wisdom and instruction. The fool's mind is closed to God, his conscience is seared by the hot iron of Sin, and his heart is fully devoted to Self. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are HID in Jesus Christ Himself. You must come to *HIM* for true wisdom and knowledge. A fool is someone who is UNABLE to make the right decision for the right reason at the right time in the right spirit for the right result - the glory of God. Fools don't believe God exists or desire a right relationship with Him. The fool grows older, but not wiser.

EVERY DAY in American 1,000 unwed teenage girls become mothers; 1,100 teenage girls have abortions; 4,219 teenagers contract an STD; 1,000 teens take their first drink; 500 teenagers take their first fix; 2,200 teens drop out of school; six of them commit suicide. The atheist says they just need better education, job opportunities, or social programs. But these things are only more expensive Kleenex-es for man's deadly moral pneumonias. The only answer is the divine infusion of wisdom from God through the Scriptures into the mind and heart of every man and woman. Prudence is to think critically, to deepen your thinking, don't be simple and gullible and just go along with the godless crowd. Seek and Seize wise counsel.

The fear of God means to have a joyful delight in the word of God (Psa 112:1; 119:103). The fear of the Lord is a passionate desire to apply the word of God to your everyday life (Psalm 128:1; Proverbs 14:2). The fear of the Almighty is to place your full confidence in His precious promises (Psa 147:11). Constantly expose yourself to the reading, study, preaching, and teaching of the word of God. Integrity is very scarce today, because there is no true fear of the Lord - that is, departure from public and private evil. The fear of the Lord is a right relationship with the written word (John 17:17) and the living Word (John 1:1). The fear of Lord (a wise and clean walk) is also cultivated by prayer and by eagerly following after the Lord's way and will. Wise counsel also instills the fear of the Lord in us. The fear of the living God (Jesus Christ) is the true prescription for a successful life. True wisdom comes from the ONLY WISE God (Romans 16:27; Jude 1:25; I Timothy 1:17). The holy Scriptures are able to make you wise (II Timothy 3:15). A wise person is not the smartest person who knows the most about the Scriptures, but the wise man is one who trembles and is the most submissive to the Scriptures. Learn from the mistakes of others and avoid it. Wisdom is discernment from right and wrong, and to behave wisely - live right, treat people right, and deal with fairness.  Live wisely, die safely - a person is not wise because he knows everything, but because he longs to learn more at the feet of Jesus Christ; a person is not considered wise because they know what to say, but because they know how to listen; a person is not considered wise because he has all the answers, but because he obeys all that he knows from the Scriptures.  You don't just need to know more, you need to know God and obey Him more and more.

The fool is arrogantly unaccountable, the way of a fool is right in his own eyes. The fool has all the answers he needs in Darwin and Marx, and they are unaccountable. The fool is unruly and unteachable, he will not regard reproof, he just won't learn, he can't imagine himself being mistaken. A fool repeats his folly, his problem is not mental, it is spiritual. The fool is also uncontainable. He denies the existence of God, so his foolishness will not depart from him. The fools is hardened by his own sin and rebellion and becomes hopeless. The fear of the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the beginning (that is - the first, best, pith, root, foundation) of wisdom. The foundation of all true knowledge is a true relationship of awe, respect, intimacy, and worship of the faithful and true Creator God. The only way to get ready for life and death is a real relationship with the Creator God who died for your sins.

God sees everything, He knows everything, He lives everywhere. Christ Jesus, God manifest in the flesh, was born of a Jewish virgin in a small town called Bethlehem Judah. He worked as a carpenter, but He never owned a home. He was misunderstood by His family, and hated by His enemies. He walks on water, and controls the weather. He was condemned to death without a fair trial, bore all human sin, crucified for sinners, and then was raised from the dead by the power of God. His Salvation from sin is free for the asking. You were hand-made by the Creator in your mother's womb. The eye of God has always been upon you from your mother's womb even until now.

You have sinned against God's divine Law secretly and openly, and you must suffer the consequences of all your sins, unless you find the *Sinless Substitute* to suffer and die in your place, and endure the wrath due to all your sins. Sin is deadly, hell is real, death is inevitable, your days are numbered. Sin has deceived you, and brought you into a desperate situation, and now your soul is in extreme danger and exposed to the wrath of God, and you will surely be doomed without the Crucified and Risen Savior. Sin always leads to misery, and the Spirit of God always leads you to mercy in Christ's Blood. Come to Christ's Blood now, and be rescued from your sin's danger immediately.

Atheism means "No God"

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.  The secret desire of the atheist is that God would cease to exist; he wants to enjoy his sin without any mitigation or hindrance.  If the heart of God were within the reach of the atheist, it would be stabbed every moment.  The atheist has a heart that would kill God if he could. The atheist refuses to acknowledge that he will be judge for his sins and give account of his filthy life to His Maker who died for his sins.  The atheist loves evil and hates good.  Every atheist is morally and mentally a fool, a fool in the heart, as well as in the head.  The atheist is an absolute fool in morals as well as in philosophy.  The atheist's life is a rapid, riotous, raving, ruining course that ends up in the lake of fire.

"No God" means no rules, no law, no order, no restraint to lust, and no limits to vile passions.  This is the atheist's hope and desire.  What a madhouse the world would be if atheistic lawless principles were followed by everyone.  Atheism is dangerous, irrational, and despicable.  Every man by nature, more or less is a denier of God and a neglecter of Jesus Christ.  Practical atheism is the common religion of the human race - forget your Creator, and worship your self.  Your conscience is a means to curb, restrain and check sin, the conscience tries to control and rebuke your corrupt nature.  Wealth and wickedness are deadly companions.  The atheist trusts in his riches, not the Redeemer; in his might, not his Maker; his boast and glory is in himself.

Atheists in America won't be satisfied until there are no Christians, no Bibles, no churches, no mention of God at all left anywhere in America.  Atheists are God-haters and Christ-rejecters.  But you will never see atheists go after Islam and the Koran, like they do the Bible and Christ.  The reason is, the atheist doesn't want his head cut off or to be shot by one of Muhammed's disciples.  The atheists don't go after Muhammed and the Quran because they are lies right out of Hell, just like the atheists and their evolution doctrine.

The atheist is putrid in his thoughts and rotten to the core, his moral nature is decayed with his own immorality, his heart is polluted with iniquity, his mind is soured and sickened with sins.  Atheism is an offensive and heinous sin to the Creator.

Bad beliefs lead to bad lives.  The denial and forgetfulness of Christ Himself is the root source of all unrighteousness and crime which we see in the world today.  The "No God" spirit of atheism produces nothing but the most vile actions and inevitable chaos.  God looks down from heaven upon every man every moment of the day.  There is no place where you can hide from your Maker's steadfast gaze.  He see all the nations, all men, all hearts, and all motives.  The Bible is the only thing that clear the head and cleanse the heart of an atheist.  The atheist is rebelliously running in a diametrically opposite direction from God's divine law.  The unregenerate atheist is in direct defiance to the person of Jesus Christ.  They are altogether become filthy.  The atheist has no true wisdom, for the fear of the Lord is the *beginning* of wisdom, that is, the desire and action to please the Lord by departing from evil that grieves His heart. An atheist is his own worst enemy, he ruins himself here in time and will soon damn himself in Eternity and commit spiritual suicide.

God was manifest in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ.  He was altogether good; He did no sin; He went about continually doing good, and they took Him and nailed Him to a Cross, they mocked Him and spit upon Him.

* Atheism + Humanism = Everlasting Contempt
* Wealth + Wickedness = Wasted Life, Lost Soul
* Denying God + Neglecting Christ = Misery and Eternal Destruction

Prepare to Enter Eternity

The reason any lost sinner drinks liquor or pops a pill is so he can stop thinking.  That's all there is to it.  They just can't stand bear to think certain thoughts.  They have to get their mind off their sordid past and their bleak future.  Conscience makes cowards of us all.  It's the memories of your past sins that un-nerve you.  God sees and remembers everything.  The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. Every one of us shall give account of himself to God.  Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Thou God seest me!

The wisest thing any sinner ever done was to get the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ between him and Divine Justice by placing personal, saving faith in the Lamb of God Himself.  God hath remembered your iniquities; He has a long memory.  You've never done anything that God didn't keep track of, and someday the Judge of all the earth (Jesus Christ Himself) will call you to account for it.  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.  God sees and God remembers.  Sinners don't like to be reminded about these kind of things, but it's true. Man forgets, but God remembers.

The Only way that God will ever forget your sins is if they are under the blood of Jesus Christ. God hath appointed a day, in the which *He will judge the world* in Righteousness by that Man [Jesus Christ] whom God hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised *Him* from the dead.  Remember now thy Creator who died for your sins and rose from the dead. Religious folks don't know where they are going when they die.  Lost men love sin and mock God, and they want you to die in your sins just as stupid and ignorant as they are.  The name of the wicked shall rot.  Your sins deserve eternal capital punishment, Jesus Christ personally suffered capital punishment for each of your private and public sins.

Be wise now, Prepare to meet your Maker in Judgment.  Without Jesus Christ, all your secrets will be judged, everything about you that you’ve ever thought, said, or done will be brought up at the Judgment and condemn you to the lake of fire forever and ever.  You need to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior so you will be ready to die. Only Jesus Christ Himself can make you ready to meet God in a fit condition.  Only simple faith in Christ’s Precious Blood can get you safely past the White Throne Judgment.

You must trust God manifest in the flesh, the living Savior who died in your place as a Sinless Substitute, who bore your sins and became “SIN” for you in you place, and rose again the third days according to the Scriptures.  You must take “HIM” to be your Atonement, the payment for all your sins.  You must have God’s Righteousness to escape the wrath to come, and God’s Righteousness is a “MAN”, and His name is above every name, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  Nothing else will do.  You could be the finest man in your town, but your self-goodness can never save your soul from the Judgment.  Human righteousness can’t prepare you to meet God. You must come to Jesus Christ as lost, undone, wretched sinner, knowing you cannot help save yourself at all.  You must completely trust Him to do the job.  Without “HIM” you’ll never make it.

Right now, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be SAVED!”  Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.  To believe in Jesus Christ — is to repent of your love of sin and self-righteousness and rest your lost soul upon Jesus Christ's Blood and Righteousness alone for immediate and eternal salvation.  He was put to death on Calvary's Cross, because your sins were laid upon Him — to believe in Him simply with a childlike confidence is the only way of salvation.  Your soul must be saved from the wrath to come by the living Incarnate God who died especially for you on the Cross.

Divine Forbearance

All men think that all men are mortal and guilty but themselves. The punishment which is due to sin men think is surely impending upon others, but men scarcely believe that punishment will ever fall upon themselves. The thought of personal guilt, judgment, and condemnation is very inconvenient. Vain men think they are safe. They believe they alone will go unpunished. They think there will be no Great White Throne for them to face, no Judge, no lake of fire. You think lightly of the goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering of your Maker. You accumulate the comforts and luxuries of this life. You have wit, prudence, diligence, thrift, and success in this world. You enjoy good health and a sharp mind. You have a good spouse and have children.

Many envy all that you have. Sickness doesn't visit your household, and still you don't love the God who has given you all these things. You have received much divine Kindness but yielded no return. You could be living in poverty and illness. A slight turn in business could leave you bankrupt. You could be tossing to and fro upon the bed of sickness, you could be in hospital about to lose a limb or organ. God has given you health and freedom from pain. You could have been in an asylum living in insanity. A thousand ills have been kept from you, you have enjoyed the goodness of the Most High God.  God has spared you many days and years; He has spared your spouse and children.  God has raised you up from the bed of sickness, He has filled your pantry, belly and closet, and yet you still disobey Him.

You live in Christian and Scriptural light, yet you still follow after evil. There are Bibles and churches everywhere. You despise God's mercy. You have a conscience, when you do wrong, you know it and are troubled by it. You have yielded to temptations and your guilt has given you sleepless nights. You have felt the miserable feeling of shame and unrest that sinning bring. You try to stifle the inward alarm (your conscience), and you have resisted the Spirit of God. Your road to Hell is very difficult, but you mean to follow it all costs, and go over the barrier and wall right into Hell.

God's forbearance is still being patient with you. You have offended God and He still withholds the punishment that is due to you. You have been invited to mercy, but have refused it, and yet God continues to stretch out His pierced hands to you, and invite you to come to the Cross. Patient endurance of offenses and insults have been manifested by God. You continue on in your sin with suicidal determination. You are desperately set on self-inflicted misery and your soul's own ruin and nothing can save you. You are given over to perdition, for you will not be warned. You long after vice and love filthiness. The poison of sin spreads and burns in your veins. But God is still showing forbearance with you. You have grievously done despite to God's word, and laughed at those that worship the Lord Jesus Christ. You are nearing the brink of death but you still stubbornly reject Christ. God's mercy gives you a reprieve every day. The Savior now sits upon the Throne of Grace, but He will soon sit upon the White Throne of Judgment. Hasten to the Throne of Grace now and seek His free grace and undying love.

God is the Great King and you have publicly insulted Him days without number. Your sins provoke God and defies Him to His face. There is a limit to God's longsuffering. Why do you treat the Good God so cruelly? For which of His deeds do you hate and provoke Him? Every day God cause the sun to rise and gives you eyes to see it; He sends His rain upon the ground to bring forth bread for you to eat, and He gives you life to eat it. Is this why you revolt against Him? Every day your life is gladdened with the tender kindness of God. Your sin is terribly offensive to God every day, but He still shows kindness, love, and forbearance. Your base ingratitude toward God is amazing.

You have forgotten God altogether, this is a great wrong.  You would never keep a dog if it never followed and obeyed, but snarled at you continually.  You have been of no service to your Maker, not even a thought of serving Him has crossed your mind.  He has spared you all these years, and His forbearance has never occurred to you.  You've never given a half an hour of thought of your relation to God.  You never consider your conduct towards Him.  It is too much trouble for you to even think of your Creator.  You imagine that because judgment is delayed that it will never come at all.  You joke and play on the brink of death and hell.  God's forbearance will not last forever.

God knows your secret thoughts.  You think you have a long time and flatter yourself that you have plenty of life to think about eternal things.  You continue to live on in jeopardy in risk of eternal doom.  Decide for God, for Christ, for heaven.  You have offended God and know it is an evil thing to do so.  You willfully reject Christ.  None are so blind who will not see, and hate the light.  The atheist has eyes, but refuses to see.  God's patience with you is meant to lead you to repentance, that you might turn from sin to God.  Every year you are out of Christ you sin more deeply and provoke the Lord more terribly.  When your child rebels, you give them a few minutes to repent.  God has given you years to repent, but you remain careless and disobedient.

Every morning when an atheist wakes up still impenitent, and finds himself still out of hell, the sunlight seems to say, “I shine on you yet another day, as that in this day you may repent.” When your bed receives you at night I think it seems to say, “I will give you another night’s rest, that you may live to turn from your sins and trust in Jesus Christ.” Every plateful of food that comes to your table says, “I will support your body so you still may have space for repentance.” Every time you open the Bible's pages it says, “We speak with you that you may look to Christ and live.” Every time you hear a Gospel sermon, it pleads with you to turn unto the Maker and live.  Repentance is radical change in your view of things, and in your estimate of eternal matters; Repentance is a change in your purposes, a change in your thoughts and in your private and public conduct.  Divine Forbearance will soon run out; Look to Christ Jesus and His Precious Blood today and live.

Two Kinds of Wisdom

There are two kinds of wisdom today:  The wisdom from beneath that is found in earthly religions, public schools, colleges, universities, and the news media - this is called earthly, sensual, devilish wisdom in the Scriptures (James 3:15).  The world by earthly wisdom knows not God.

But the wisdom that is from above is FIRST PURE, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil (your own sinful habits). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:  a good understanding have all they that do His commandments. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil (that is, your own sins). If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But wisdom is justified of all her children. (James 3:17, Proverbs 16:6; Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 8:13; James 1:5; Luke 7:35).

God's wisdom FIRST leads a man to be pure, and to depart from his evil (that is, your own sinful thoughts, words, and habits).  If the wisdom you have is not leading you to be more pure and please God in thought, word and deed, then you have an "earthly" wisdom that is devilish.  You may be clever, but you're not clean.  Only the Blood of Christ can make a sinner clean, not his works.  Every sinner must be saved by Blood, and Islam doesn't provide the sinner any blood or Substitute to atone for his sins.

Blessed are the PURE in heart, for they shall see God.  Your heart (inward nature) can only be purified by placing simple God-given faith in Jesus Christ's precious blood (I Peter 1:19,22).  True wisdom will always first lead you to be pure in mind, heart, and body (II Corinthians 7:1).  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.  Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to God's word. Jesus said, Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Christ or Darwin?

Evolutionists are likened to blind dogs wandering around on the interstate in the pitch black dark, howling about Darwin, almost getting hit by death continually, and only the tender mercies of God keep them in safety and life.  Evolutionists believe in Darwin.  Born Again Christians believe in Christ Jesus.  Be very careful who you believe in.  The Lord Jesus Christ will soon do with you what you have done with Him.

Life is short, Death is sure, Sin the curse, Christ's Precious Blood is the Cure.  Trust Christ, lose your sins; trust Darwin, lose your soul.  You live to gratify your own lusts, delight in defying God's laws, and reject His dear Son.  Sin has ruinous consequences. Acknowledge your sinfulness, own your guiltiness, God can see it all.  Don't try to patch a false righteousness of your own. Jesus Christ is never precious to anyone but real sinners.  Come along to Calvary, the vilest sinners are welcome to the Bleeding Creator.  Jesus gave Himself for your sins, not your merits.  You must first sense your emptiness.  You are thoroughly unworthy and deserve to go straight to hell.  Your past wickedness abundantly vindicates the eternal sentence of the Great Judge.

God knows all the sins of men. Every sin is committed in the very presence of God. Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy Sight. Sins are committed in the sight of God, from whose eyes nothing is hidden. The Lord can never forget your sins, all the sins of your past are before Him now. But He is still slow to anger, and waits to be gracious to you. The Lord God is great in power. If He willed it, you would be swept into Hell today. Your flippant tongue and lustful heart hates God, but He is still patiently bears with you.

Things that men call little sins are great and grievous evils to the Holy One of Israel. O do not the abominable thing which God hates, that is, don't reject God's Son's love and blood. God's Spirit is grieved with every idle word and every impure thought of yours. You have indulged in your sins and abused God's mercy.  Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Call now upon Jesus' name for mercy.  Lord God have mercy upon a miserable sinner like me for Jesus' sake.

You have a conscience. When you do wrong, you know it, and are troubled by it, you continue to violate your conscience until you defile and sear your conscience. You have yielded to temptations and your guilt has given you sleepless nights. You have felt the miserable feeling of shame and unrest that sinning brings. You try to stifle the inward alarm of conscience, and you have resisted the Spirit of God.

Rejecting Christ is THE mortal sin, the soul-damning sin of sins. Your road to Hell has been very difficult, but you mean to follow it all costs, and go over the barrier and wall of God's warnings right off into Hell. The way of transgressors is so hard. Evolution is a damnable delusion, and darwinism leads every atheist into his own final and fatal self-destruction.

If you were in God's place, could you bear to be treated as you have treated Him and His Son all these years? Would you be so patience with someone who blasphemed you and your son so cruelly?

Why risk losing everything?  Trust your soul to Jesus Christ before its everlasting too late.  Stop abusing God's goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering.  Repent of your sins, Look away from yourself and Believe ON the Crucified and Risen Savior now, and then begin to abhor and struggle against your inward evil and vile passions.  Christ is All. Begin to fight the good fight of faith against your sins.  Pray and ask God for more and more of His grace to resist your sinful inclinations and propensities.

The Innocent Lamb

Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. God takes away human sin through the Atonement of Christ. Make Christ your soul's one Rock of refuge from the wrath to come. Believe with all your heart that Jesus is the Christ of God. Trust yourself to Him. Jesus shed His Precious Blood and made a complete Atonement for every man and woman. The innocent Blood is free and full of virtue, free to every soul that believeth on Jesus. Turn away from your own works and doings. Turn your eyes to His full Atonement, to the utmost Ransom paid in full. I take His Precious Blood to be my only hope.

Take Jesus personally to be your Sin-Bearer. Jesus stood in the gap between God and sinful men, and made a perfect Atonement for human sin. Take Christ to be your Atonement, your Justifier, your Salvation, your Substitute, your All in All. We are completely reliant on Him, and have nothing of our own to trust to. Resting only upon the merits of the Innocent Lamb of God. Holy, Holy, Holy is the cry of the Gospel. Jesus took the sinner's sin upon Himself, suffered and bled for sin. Thoughts of Jesus Christ and His agonies bring me to penitence, confidence, and purify me from sin. I cast myself upon Him for mercy. I trust Him. Hatred of my sins, and love of Holiness begins at Calvary.

The new nature that God gives us through the New Birth feeds upon truth, grace, love, promises, pardon, covenant, blood, atonement, incarnation, acceptance, forgiveness, justification, holiness. Go directly to Christ for free forgiveness. Incarnation - Atonement. Human nature is always puzzled while trying to work out its own way of salvation. The moment a sinner trusts to Jesus Christ's Precious Blood, his sins cease to be. All my sins are gone, paid in full. I am no longer guilty in the sight of God. I stand acquitted through the Atonement, and justified through His Righteousness.

The doctrine of the Atonement is this -- Christ Jesus bore our sins in His own body on the tree, and has put away our sins by the Sacrifice of Himself. The complete Ransom is paid. A full and satisfactory Atonement is finished by the Lamb of God. Christ has suffered the Law's fullest and severest penalty. Lord Jesus, please take my case, and arbitrate for me, I accept your perfect Atonement. The carnal mind is afraid of God, because it loves evil and darkness. I trust in Jesus' Precious Blood. God, please receive me for Jesus' sake.

Inwardly digest these words - "The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin." Blood is always precious, but Jesus' blood is most precious because it cleanses and frees sinners from the guilt and pollution of sin. Jesus' Blood washes away all sin; His Blood makes your soul good as new. He yielded His life's blood, took upon Himself the form of a servant, He was scourged, spit upon, bruised, torn, nailed, pierced, slain for us unworthy sinners. Nothing but the blood of God could make Atonement for human guilt. Think of this - Great sin, Great Atonement, Great Love, Great Gratitude, the Great Savior, great hatred of sin, great privilege.

The Precious Blood must be trusted without any mixture. Jesus completed and finished the work, and you are complete in Him. Are you living a selfish, thankless, useless, Christ-less life? The great Atonement was offered by the Incarnate God. Idolatry is creating your own image of God to meet your wicked lifestyle. The Blood alone puts away sin, and permits sinful man to come to God. There is no hope of pardon for the sins of any man, except through the punishment and the blood of Jesus Christ alone. The Precious Blood is the great At-one-ment . Jesus took your place.

Oh sinner friend, for you His Precious Blood was shed. Fears, doubts, sins, unbelief are put away by the blood of the Crucified One. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can present you blameless, holy, faultless, unreprovable in the presence of God's glory. Mercy is provided through the Great Substitute. The God of Love is pleased to offer and promise free pardon to all sinners who will simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. *II Corinthians 13:11*

Depend only on the agonies, griefs, sufferings, and Blood of the Divine Redeemer. Remember now, in order that sin might be put away, it was necessary that God Himself should put on human flesh, and bear the penalty of human sin, and He could only bear it by becoming a man. He endured the spitting, shame and smiting. Watch His wounds, count the blood drops, see the vileness, wickedness, and heinousness of your sins. See in Jesus Christ your iniquity being punished, put away, God reconciled, and your soul eternally saved. Jesus is my only ground of confidence for pardon. Rest in the precious Atonement which Jesus has made for human sin. Gospel promises, free grace, full Atonement.

Never slight the Precious Blood of Christ. God's thoughts are not your thoughts. Believe that Jesus Christ has made a full Atonement, rest yourself wholly on Him, rest your whole weight on Christ. Men cannot bear the doctrine of Atonement and Substitution. Human nature gnashes its teeth at the thought of the Lamb of God bearing the sin of guilty men. The Atonement satisfied the divine justice of God, and appeased the wrath of God. Trust only the pardoning atoning Blood of God's Son.

The story of the Cross - Full Atonement made by God's appointed Sacrifice, resting upon God's appointed Sacrifice, accepting God's way of salvation. The innocent Lamb of God bled for guilty sinners, and offered on the tree an Atonement for human sin. Your soul with the Savior's garments on, is made as holy as the Holy One. All my sin is gone. I stand in God's sight not as a sinner, but as perfect in Christ Jesus. I have not one sin in God's book against me. I am fully absolved through faith in the Blood of the Lamb. Resting only upon Christ's bloody Atonement made on Calvary.

He Giveth More Grace

A sinner's greatest need is the free favor, the love, the grace of Jesus Christ. The love of God demonstrated through Christ Jesus is Grace. The Lord Jesus Christ is God's love in its active and visible form, love descending from Heaven to Earth, love putting on human flesh, love paying the great ransom price for human sin, love raising from the dead and then ascending into heaven up to the Throne of God, love sitting and waiting and pleading at God's right hand, love soon to come again with power and glory.

The grace of God is found only in the divine person of Jesus Christ Himself - His grace is rich, boundless, unsearchable, immutable, divine, and eternal. By grace ye are saved. He giveth grace unto the lowly.  Jesus Christ is God and man in one person - He bled out His very life to rescue you from the wrath of God your sins richly deserve. Christ is the Redeemer - He redeems from the guilt, power, bondage, love, and slavery of sin. He saves poor undeserving sinners with an everlasting salvation.

Believe in Christ's grace, trust His grace, by faith in His Blood close with Jesus now, trust yourself entirely to Him, commit your soul to His keeping, He loved you and gave Himself for you, rely upon Christ's free grace to save your immortal soul. Then live by Him, in Him, and to Him. Make Jesus all your trust and confidence. For God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. There is a life eternal, and that life is the Man Christ Jesus. The grace of Christ will forgive all your sins freely, give you a peaceful conscience, a cleansed walk, access to God, gratitude, self-denial, consecration, and intense and fervent love for Christ Himself.

Do God No Harm

Are you more concerned about offending the Most High God or some man?  The Bible says, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit." The more you are concerned about grieving God, the more peace there will be in your life. The root of your sins lies in their opposition to God. We have all violated and injured the Law of God.  To injure your fellow man's reputation through gossip is sin. Murmurings, complainings, criticisms and finding fault is all sin. Sin has completely ruined you within. You have an empty and aching and broken heart within. A confessing, broken-hearted, acknowledgement of your offenses against God is repentance. You are living a vain and dangerous life without Jesus Christ. You have been impudent indeed while JEHOVAH looked on you with His holy gaze. None but the true child of God cares for the eye, ear, and heart of God. Grace in the soul produces a fearful guilt upon every evil act and thought.

Now remember that the God you have offended is always present when the trespass is committed. No argument can be produced against God's divine justice. The Judge has witnessed every crime you have committed (Proverbs 15:3). You are indisputably and unquestionably guilty. Inbred sin in your very nature condemns you, you are the Sinner. The fountain of your soul is polluted. You naturally lean toward the forbidden. The tap roots of sin run deep in you. Lament your lost estate. God desires not merely outward virtue, but absolute inward purity. You need a true Righteousness which you cannot produce.  *Romans 10:3-4* The true suppliant desires his soul be washed thoroughly from the filth of his sins. You are very far from satisfying demands God's divine Law. Reality, sincerity, true holiness, heart fidelity, these are the true demands of God. You are dirty minded and filthy mouthed while God was watching.

God looks into your mind, heart, soul all the time. The LORD estimates men by their inner nature, and not by an outward profession. In the hidden part God shall make you to know wisdom. Don't just fear Hell, but fear your sins that are going to take you there. Your innermost nature can only be taught by the LORD. Your poor, foolish, dissolute soul must be ordered aright. Lord, please erase my sins forever for Jesus' sake. Through the divine Propitiation make my sins vanish away. Remove the vile pollution of my sinful nature. Blot out all my iniquities. Lord, make me a new man within. Renew my old fallen self, change my foul nature.

None but Christ Jesus Himself can save you from your love and appetite for your sins. You are smarting under the guilt of your sin. Rely confidently on the finished Blood Sacrifice of Calvary and Jesus' infinite mercy. Suppliant look only to the Cross where JEHOVAH JESUS bore your sins in His own body on the tree.  Faith in the Sinless Propitiation of the Son of God, Free Pardon of sin, inward purity, true peace with God through His blood - this is the way.

Simply have done with reliance upon yourself, have done with confidence in anything but Jesus, and rest alone with undivided confidence in Christ Jesus and in what He has done for sinners like you. Have done with the outward, rejoice only in the inward working of the Spirit of God. Have done with your doings, and take and trust only Christ's doings. Surrender your lost soul to the Savior now. Only Jesus can make you fit for heaven. Christ is All or nothing. Nothing save Jesus Himself would I know. Have done with self-salvation and self-righteousness and your vain working, and come on to the Cross trusting to the Lamb of God (John 1:29). Have done with seeking to save yourself, accept Jesus alone as your Redeemer. Your salvation must be all in Christ, and not in you at all. God will only save you as a guilty sinner who only deserves to be damned.

Evolution and religion is a vain presumption and idiotic delirium. Seek the Savior's blood and merits. Beg the Holy Spirit to draw you to Jesus now. You must deal honestly with the Omniscient God. Seek forgiveness of sins and real joy for your sinful heart down at the feet of Jesus. Ask the Lord Jesus Christ to do with your sins what you cannot. God must hide His face from your sins, or He must hide His face forever from you. The Crucified Creator died for you, so you could be fully and freely forgiven forever. God, blot out my sins, erase my guilt, but don't blot out my name. Lord, make me a new man within.

The heart is the rudder of the soul. You have steered your life in a false and foul way into darkness. God, In my inmost secret parts renew me. Renew a right spirit within me. Seek God's face and favor through Jesus' blood. Make the Holy Spirit your Wisdom. Nothing would I know save Jesus. Many men think and hope that Jesus Christ will help them save themselves, but that is religious delusion. Christ is All or nothing. He must save you from top to bottom. Your foundation cannot be partly on the rock of His Finished Work, and partly on the sand of your own unworthy doings. Leave off attempting to work for your salvation by an obedience of your own. Your doings are an insult to the Righteousness of Christ. Faith in God's dear bleeding Son is the only way.

You must receive Christ's Atonement freely, you cannot earn it, buy it, complete it, or add anything to what Jesus has done for sinners. The Blood Atonement of Jesus Christ is the Free Gift of God for ungodly sinners. There is no such thing as a good sinner, you need the Savior now. If you have nothing to offer Jesus, you are the very sinner who can receive Christ's free salvation. Salvation is the Divine Gift from God, not deserved but bestowed freely on the unworthy.

Hallelujah, What A Savior!

Man of Sorrows! what a name, for the Son of God who came; ruined sinners to reclaim.  Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned He stood; He sealed my Pardon with His Blood.  Guilty, vile, and helpless me; Spotless Lamb of God was He; "Full Atonement!" can it be?  Lifted up was He to die; "It is Finished!" was His cry; Now in Heav'n He's exalted high.  When He comes, my glorious King, all the ransomed home to bring, then anew this song I'll sing:  Hallelujah, What a Savior!

Every Christ-rejecting unsaved man is reprobate - he is totally unable by himself to make any sound spiritual judgment. The carnal mind is so warped by his sins that it cannot understand spiritual things (I Cor 2:14). By nature man is in outright rebellion against God, and he is a pure enemy of God every moment of the day (Romans 8:7). The Bible calls every man a sinner. Sin brings spiritual death and eternal separation from God. Man doesn't just sin from time to time, he is altogether and nothing but SIN. The unsaved man runs away from the true and living God (Jesus Christ) in his thinking, and would get rid of God altogether if he could. By nature all men are destitute wretches in love with their sinful habits. Sin has saturated him, and every part of his being is defiled with sin. His whole nature is warped and twisted and bent toward filthiness; his soul is slanted toward iniquity and headed toward hell.

But a holy God can still forgive a sinner today. God is absolute Holiness and perfect Justice. God's divine Justice demands that every human sin be punished. Every sin of yours deserves eternal punishment. Perfect Justice cannot pass over your sins. God demands pure Righteousness, and you must have His Righteousness in order to dwell in His presence. God's Righteousness is Jesus Christ (Romans 10:4). No unregenerated man can ever live with God. Holiness and sin cannot mix. Light and darkness cannot dwell together. When light in comes in, darkness is vanquished; and wherever Holiness is, sin is destroyed.

You must have a Sin-Bearer to take your sins upon Him and pay for them in your place. There's only one Remedy for your sins, and that's the Precious Atoning Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, shed on Calvary's Cross. God was manifest in human flesh, and died to pay for your sinful rebellion against God. The natural man is perfectly satisfied with his own efforts until the Holy Ghost shows him his sinfulness and imminent danger of Hell fire. The demands of God's Holiness are only met and satisfied in the Righteousness of Jesus Christ. The only way that any sinner can ever stand safely in the presence of a holy God that demands absolute Righteousness is to be clothed in the Righteousness of Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus Christ lived a Righteous life here on earth for you, He kept the Law in every particular, not one single sin was committed by Him in His whole life, He lived a life of perfect Righteousness. The moment any sinner stops trusting his own righteousness, and takes Christ's Righteousness alone to save Him, right then, God imputes Christ's Righteousness to that man's guilty soul. Blessed is the man unto whom God imputes Righteousness, without works.

How can God be just and then still forgive His enemies and not punish them? Only one way: the great Atonement of Jesus Christ on Calvary where He tasted death for every man; where He bore our sins in His own body on the tree. There on the Cross Jesus' soul was made an offering for all human sin. There Jesus poured out His soul unto Death and was made a Curse for us. God had to abandon His own dear Son on the Cross when He was made to be Sin for us. Get it once and for all, straight from the word of God - Ye must be born again, ye must be washed in the Blood, and ye must be clothed in the Righteousness of Jesus Christ.

You main trouble is S-I-N, the evil nature that is in you right now. God can only change what you think and do, by first changing what you are, on the inside. God must change you from a lover of sin to a hater of sin. Only the love of Christ can make you a despiser of sin and a lover of Holiness. God must give you a new nature within that loves His Son. Only God's Blood can save a lost, wicked sinner. You must be regenerated by the Holy Ghost - God's divine nature and life must be implanted into your sinful dead soul. When that happens, a warfare immediately begins within you, because there is now a new nature in you that loves Righteousness and Holiness (II Peter 1:4). When Christ's divine nature enters your soul, you will never be comfortable in sin any more.

If you are neglecting Jesus Christ, there's some sin in your life that you're not willing to give up. Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Believe that God means business in what He says, and turn from your evil ways. Repent of the wickedness of your heart; turn away from all efforts to save yourself. Face the fact that the thing that is really wrong with you is that your heart is sinful. Face up to it, and don't dodge it or squirm about it. God says the heart of every man is filthy with sin, and at enmity with God. Face up to the deadly condition of your heart. Realize there is nothing you can do to help save yourself. None of your works will avail. You are a dead soul due to your sins in the sight of God, spiritually dead, and everything you can possibly do is nothing but dead works. Turn away from any hope that you've ever entertained of being able to help save yourself and acknowledge your utter helplessness. Renounce all hope that there's any chance of you ever doing anything to correct your sinful condition by yourself, or make yourself acceptable to God, and in your helplessness, turn to the the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and trust His atoning blood and Righteousness. This is Repentance. Be willing to give up your sins and dead works. Repent toward God, and put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. At the New Birth, you become part of Jesus Christ, and part of His life is implanted in you. Jesus lives in your heart in the person of the Holy Ghost (Galatians 2:20).

God justifies the ungodly. The man that believes in Jesus for Righteousness can stand before God innocent as though he had never sinned, because he has the Righteousness of Jesus Christ to protect him. Your standing before God is exactly equal with Jesus Himself. Christ Jesus was made to be Sin for us, and He was made a Curse for us. He completely took our place and finished the Atonement for every one of our sins, and His Righteousness completely covers us in the presence of a holy God and nobody can lay anything to our charge. There is no case against us. We are not guilty for Jesus' sake. The Lamb of God bore our sins, He took our guilt, He paid the full penalty that was due to our sins.Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Daily

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto Thee. Give us this day our daily bread. And Jesus said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up His cross daily, and follow Me.  I die daily.

 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart. Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore Paul disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, Paul departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

The Lost Preacher

You can always tell when you're dealing with a lost preacher, because he fails to glory in the Cross, to magnify the Lamb of God, to focus on the Precious Blood of Christ, or to even mention Christ's second coming.  The lost preacher speaks of his own thoughts (convictions, do's and don'ts, psychology, dress code, financial prosperity, self-esteem, social issues, etc.), not Christ's thoughts from the Scriptures.  The lost preacher speaks much of his own church or denomination.  The lost preacher desires self-glory, not Christ's glory. Now understand - Beware of the man that thinks he has some sort of special favor with God because of his baptism, his dress code, his Bible version, or his denomination! The lost preacher underscores vain religion's non-essentials, and fails to underscore the essentials of Christ Jesus. The lost preacher is a career clergy man, who messes around with religion all of his life and then winds up in hell where he belongs. *Matthew 7:21-23* The lost preacher's bottom line is his religious reputation, church's attendance, bank account, $$$. The lost preacher exploits and extorts weak consciences and unstable souls through fear, guilt and superstitious nonsense.  The lost preacher is religiously arrogant and will not listen to reason. The lost preacher never prays for he is not related to God spiritually.  The lost preacher uses the Bible for his own religious pretense, but he doesn't read, believe, memorize, or love the Bible.  The lost preacher wants to you to look to him, not Christ. The reason the lost preacher doesn't mention Christ coming back is because he doesn't want Him to come back, for he is lost and not sure where he is going when that happens.  The lost preacher is a religionist who wants you to follow him and belong to his clique, not to follow Christ Jesus Himself and enter into the kingdom of God by faith in Jesus' Blood.  The lost preacher speaks of man's doings having something to do with your eternal salvation.  The lost preacher never speaks of the White Throne Judgment, Hell, and the love of Sin, because he is not saved from them.  The lost preacher leads you to think that your doings bring you into God's favor somehow, and his baptism and church can in some way help take away your sins against God. The next time you go to church, just listen closely to the preacher's words, and see how much he glories in the Cross, magnifies the Lamb the God, focuses on the Sinless Blood of Christ, or even mentions the Second Coming of Christ.  Now understand - For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.  Beware of a lost preacher, which comes to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
