He Loved You To Death

All things were created by Him, and for Him. *Colossians 1:16* The worlds were made by Him.  *Hebrews  1:2*  All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. *John 1:3* They shall call His name Emmanuel…God with us. *Matthew 1:2*  God was manifest in the flesh. *I Timothy 3:16*  He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. *John 1:10*  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. *John 1:14* And when [the wise men] were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. *Matthew 2:11*

Note that, the wise men "worshipped" the young Jewish child in a house, not an infant in a manger.  They worshipped the young child, because He was God manifest in the flesh, the King of glory.

And with His stripes we are healed. *Isaiah 53:5*  The blood of Jesus Christ God’s Son cleanseth us from all sin. *I John 1:7*  He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross. *Philippians 2:8*  God laid down His life for us. *I John 3:16*  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. *I Timothy 1:15*  It is finished. *John 19:30*  He is not here, for He is risen, as He said. *Matthew 28:6*  But God raised Him from the dead. *Acts 13:30*  God hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in Righteousness by that Man (The Lord Jesus Christ). *Acts 17:31*

God humbled Himself and came to Earth as a Man, and that Man was Jesus of Nazareth.  God the Son was on the Cross suffering, bleeding, and dying for you.  What will you do with Jesus Christ?  Will you reject Him, or receive Him?  JESUS ascended into Heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God.  JESUS will return to Earth one day to take the saved sinners on Earth back to Heaven with Him, and then the Great Tribulation will begin and last for seven years.  Will you be left behind when Jesus returns?

Only one person ever loved you to death, and His name was The Lord Jesus Christ, God Incarnate.  He poured out His own life blood for your sins.  You will only live a few years here on Earth, and then you must die. You must enter Eternity and give account to God for all your sins (open and secret).  There is no turning back.  It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment.  You have a spiritual disease called Sin that no man or religion can cure.  You have sinned and broken God’s commandments and laws many times.  You have lied, stolen, cheated, lusted, or cursed all throughout your life.

You have neglected and rejected Christ day after day – this is the capital and damning sin.  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  The wrath of God abides on you right now because of your voluntary unbelief and intentional sins against God Himself.  You are dead in trespasses in sins and currently under the wrath of God.  *Flee from the wrath to come.*   You must turn, or you will burn for all Eternity.  God is angry with the wicked every day.  Stop loving your sins, stop rejecting Christ now.

Your good works are no good.  The very best you can do will land you right in Hell.  Your sin or your religion is not worth going to hell over.  Flee the wrath of God to come on human sin.  God is ready to pardon you today.  Just look unto Jesus, only His Precious Blood can wash your sins away.  Don’t try to save yourself; you're wasting your time and energy.  Simply and wholly place your trust in what Jesus did for you.  Ask Jesus to save you by His grace and blood today.  Jesus only saves lost sinners that realize they are hopeless and hell-bound.  The hardest thing for a man to do is to just give himself up to God Incarnate just as he is – a filthy, lost sinner.

You cannot do yourself any good. No sinner ever made himself right with God.  You haven’t any time to lose.  How many more days are you going to spend in 'blatant' rebellion against God's Son and His Gospel?  Throw your sins and your 'love for sin' overboard, or your sin will sink your soul into hell.  You must turn away from your sins – Repent.  Do you sense your sin and the danger your sin has brought you into?  Are you going to lose your sins or lose your soul?  It's your choice.

But Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners just like you.  For the only wise God the Savior, the King eternal, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, He humbled Himself and became a Jewish peasant and dwelt in human flesh, and His name was Jesus of Nazareth.  The King of glory became a poor man:  Jesus lived the sinless life that you cannot live.  He died for your sins on Calvary's Cross.  He suffered the wrath of God in your place and rose again the third day.  He died in your place and was your Sin-Bearer and Substitute.  The Good News of the Gospel is this:  Out of pure love for sinners, God became a man and His name was Jesus Christ, He suffered for sins in the sinner's place.

The Lord Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh, He was virgin born.  He lived a sinless life, magnified the law perfectly, He became Sin, He bore 'your' sins in His own body on the tree, He laid down His life for His enemies (you and me), He suffered the full wrath and justice of God on Calvary's Cross for your sins.  He died in your place and went to and through Hell for you.  He then conquered death and rose from the dead the third day.  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.  Christ died for the ungodly.  Are you lonely and discouraged today?  If you're fed up with your sins, if you need Christ, you may have Him freely.  He delights in saving condemned and hopeless sinners.  He is still saving souls right now in 2016. Will you be saved from the love of sin and the damnation of hell today?

Today, hide your soul in Jesus.  Drop all your sins, flee for your life, escape to the bloody Cross and be saved right this moment.  Right now, you can put your empty hand on eternal life, if you will just stretch it out.  God is ready to save and have mercy on you.  Don’t procrastinate any longer; yield yourself into God’s arms of mercy right now.  No medicine can heal you unless you take it and swallow it.  The blood of Jesus is the only medicine and remedy that will heal your sin-sick soul.

Trust the Savior’s blood and righteousness.  Give up self-rule, trade your evil works for His sinless works, and you are saved.  Let go of your self-goodness, or it will damn you.  Believe that JESUS alone can save you, and trust Him to solely do it.  Fall at His feet right now and say, “If I perish, I will perish here.  I believe that the Son of God can save me and I will be saved by Him alone!  I will never look anywhere else for Salvation.  Dear Savior, Take away all my sins with your precious blood, and receive me graciously.  Lord I believe, please help my unbelief.”  Call out to God for His mercy, He loves to save sinners freely.  Trust Him to save your soul from the love of sin now.

One day you will  stand before God – The Lord Jesus Christ Himself – at the Judgment.  Are you prepared to stand before Him?  Please read on to find out:  God is Holy and Just and will not allow any sin into Heaven.  Have you ever violated your conscience?  Have you ever sinned with knowledge of right and wrong?  Please listen to your conscience.  Have you ever broken God’s Laws? Have you ever lied or stolen something?  If you have, that makes you a liar and a thief in the sight of God.  Have you ever taken God’s name in vain?  Most people have.  If you have, then you’re a blasphemer.  There is none righteous, no, not one.  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

Have you ever looked at the opposite sex with lust?  Then that makes you an ‘adulterer’ in heart.  Jesus said, “Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery already with her in his heart.”  (Matthew 5:28)  Have you ever had sex outside marriage?  That’s fornication. (Read I Corinthians 6:9-10,18; Ephesians 5:5) Have you always loved God will all your heart, soul, strength and mind; and put Him first in your life?  Only one person ever did that perfectly:  His name was Jesus Christ.  Have you always loved your neighbor as yourself or have you been selfish and greedy?  This is only a few of the 100’s of commandments that God has commanded men to keep.  You will face the God of the Bible (Jesus Christ) at the Judgment, not the Hollywood Jesus.

According to the Scriptures, there are only two ways to be saved from Hell:  1) Keep the commandments of God perfectly, or 2) Admit that you’ve broken God’s commandments and that you’re a Sinner in need of Pardon and Salvation.  You must Repent of your sins and call upon the Lord Jesus Christ alone to save you.  What is your plea, Guilty or Not Guilty?  Please be wise, and Settle out of Court.  The only way to escape the Judgment of Almighty God is to take His Son, Jesus Christ, as your Payment for sin against a holy God.  What will you do with Jesus?  If you reject Jesus and despise and scorn God’s love, one day Death will arrest you, the Law of God will condemn you, and God will sentence you to Hell.  Remember that the Law of God demands absolute sinless perfection from you in order for you to enter Heaven.  You have no excuse for sinning against God, because you have a conscience with the work of God’s Law written on it to guide you concerning right and wrong.  God is "Holy and Just" and He’ll make sure Justice is carried out.

Doing good works will not save you from the Judgment of God.  Your good works may be commendable in man's sight, but they will never deliver you from the wrath of God. Rejecting Jesus Christ is the ‘worst sin’ you can ever commit.  If you’re found guilty (and we’re all guilty), according to the Bible you will end up in Hell.  All you can do is throw yourself on the MERCY of the Judge…. and the Bible tells us that God is rich in Mercy.  Here’s the Good News:  It is not God’s will that you go to Hell.  The Lord is not willing that any should perish.  God provided a way for your SINS to be Pardoned and Forgiven once and for all.

God so loved you that He sent His Son to take the punishment due to your sins: "God commendeth [proved and displayed] His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  Then JESUS rose from the dead the third day and defeated death.  If you’ll repent (turn from your sinful nature that’s killing you) and trust in Him, God will give you everlasting life.  It's as simple as this:  we broke God's Law, and Jesus paid our fine.  You can never earn this Free Pardon from sin.  If you repent and trust Jesus Christ’s Precious Blood, you are free to leave the Courtroom - your CASE WILL BE DISMISSED!  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.  He loved you to death. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  Ye must be born again.  Please don’t turn JESUS away today - Trust to (Him) before it’s everlasting too late!
