He Loved Me Anyway

Christ Jesus came into the world to justify the ungodly through faith in His Precious Blood.  He that believeth not on Jesus is condemned already.  Christ Jesus died for sinners who have no righteousness of their own.  Is that you?  The Lamb of God visited planet Earth to save the sinful, the vile, the lost, the hell-deserving wretch.  How about it, does that fit your description?  He came to give the unjust His  Righteousness, and to take upon Himself their sins.  The Truth is the Truth is the Truth, and His name is The Lord Jesus Christ; and He's able to save your guilty soul to the uttermost.  A soul must first hear of Christ, and learn of Him, and then believe and trust to Him, and then that soul is justified in the sight of God.  The whole way of obtaining Eternal Life through Christ's Atoning Sacrifice is by first learning and knowing, and then believing and trusting, not by your doing.  I was lost and undone, but JESUS loved me anyway.

Do let me make this very clear - you are so guilty in the sight of God; you are Guilty of every crime in God's book; and your sins are very real.  You've lived as a defiant rebel against your Creator, and you've done so actively and on purpose.  Every time you sin against God, you're just doing more irreparable damage to your mind and soul within. You have completely ignored Christ and utterly neglected His words, will and way.  Jesus gave you His best, He laid down His life for your sins.  But you have paid Him no mind.  You've carelessly pushed Jesus' bleeding love away in disgust.  You've never done any good in your life, and deserve to be damned to all Eternity.  You have many sins upon your soul right now, and you cannot get one of them off by any doings of your own.  Your doing better can never remove one spot of sin from your soul, but it only adds to your mounting guilt.  Your heart is as black as midnight, and as evil as hell, and you cannot fix yourself one bit.  In open rebellion, you've been an enemy to God, and have been obstinately resistant to God's will and authority.  Your rebellious state has entangled your soul in many iniquities.  Your continual dissent and insolence towards Christ Jesus, the crucified and living God, is an outrageous sin and an egregious crime against the goodness and kindness of God.

Just as you could never cure your own cancer, you can never cure your inward sin problem.  You need some outside Help, or you'll surely perish in your lost state.  But there's Hope for you - if you'll hear of Jesus, learn of Him, know Him, and then believe on His name and words, and trust to His Precious Blood, right then, you can be saved this moment instantaneously.  The knowledge of Christ just like the faith of Christ is a free gift from God; it cannot be earned.  Simple childlike dependence on the Sin-Bearer who suffered, bled and died on Calvary's Cross is key.  If you trust your soul to Jesus, He will justify you, and you will be really justified, and through a miracle called Salvation, you will be made forever just in the sight of God.  The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation.

To contend against your omnipotent Maker and be in opposition to Him is insanity.  You can only end the quarrel between your soul and God at the Cross, or this quarrel will end in eternal death and your sure damnation.  The thrice holy God of the Bible will only accept your sinful soul at the Cross.  To neglect or reject Christ is suicidal.  The Man Christ Jesus with the nail pierced hands can save you, and none but He.

The Lord Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh.  He only went about doing good.  He came to seek the lost, save the ungodly, and redeem the rebellious.  He spent His whole life serving and helping others.  His ruling passion was to save sinners from themselves.  His only care was to rescue the perishing soul.  He's been searching for you for many years now.

I sometimes wonder why someone like the Lord Jesus Christ would die for me.  There was no fixing me, but in Mercy He passed by my way.  Religion couldn't help me at all, but Jesus did.  I was a sinful mess from top to bottom, but Jesus loved me anyway.  He knows the mess that I can be when there's no one else to see.  Safety is of the LORD, and your soul can only be Safe when your entire dependence is upon the Lord Jesus Christ.

Walk humbly with God, be jealous of your obedience, be circumspect, be mindful and sensitive to the direction and influence of the Holy Spirit.  Take heed to yourself, be cautious in your walk and conversation.  The bravest thing you will ever do is repent, turn your back on this world, and trust your soul with Christ Jesus, follow Him, and stay on His heels.  Never neglect prayer, for that is the root of every defection.  Rest as a little child humbly and simply upon Jesus and upon what He has done for sinners on Calvary's tree.  Faith is simply trusting to and obeying the Lord Jesus Christ.  Lord Jesus, increase my Faith.  Put your entire trust in His Precious Blood, and become Christ's loyal servant.  This must be done by your own will.  Yield your will up to Christ's will.  Go out into daily service for Jesus, be moved by love to Him, only saying "Lord Jesus, show me what You would have me do for You today."
