"What it All Boils Down To..." is a common phrase often used when someone wants to summarize an important issue. Dear friend, the most important issue in your life is not your income or your retirement plan – it is where you’re going when you die. Most people today are fooled by religious nonsense or by this world's mumbo jumbo, and they never understand and obtain what their soul truly needs to prepare them for life and death. What your soul needs while you're still breathing is ‘forgiveness of sins and eternal life’ through Jesus Christ’s shed blood. Be honest with yourself and answer these questions: Where are my sins right now? Are my sins on ‘my soul’ or on Jesus Christ? Here's the real deal: You must die and face God; there is no escaping death. God has appointed a day, when you will die and face Him. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. *Hebrews 9:27* You will abide by God's Calendar, not yours. This appointment must be kept; it cannot be postponed or cancelled. You cannot dodge this one. Every sinner will make a decision for or against Christ before they die and face God. It is impossible for you to do nothing with Jesus Christ. Not to decide for Christ is to decide against Him, but decide you must. Your choice about Jesus Christ will determine your destiny in eternity.
You need a 'Mediator' to come between your sinful soul and God Almighty. There is one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a Ransom for all. *I Timothy 2:5-6* Your sins against God deserve death, that is, eternal death in hell. Blood has to be shed for the forgiveness of your sins. Christ suffered and shed His precious blood for you. The reason you need a Mediator is because your secret and public sins (thoughts, words, and deeds) against the Law of God and your past rejection of God's Son as your Savior have provoked the wrath of God towards you. God sees and hears your thought life. The Bible commands you to Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself -- How have you been treating God lately, and helping those in need around you?
Your main problem and danger is your sin against God and rejection of Christ. You will never be saved from your sins, until you get alarmed over your sins, and where your sins will take you if you die in them. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, not good people. Christ died for the ungodly. It takes a man longer to 'come to himself' and admit he has a Sin problem, than anything else. You need a ‘Mediator’ to pacify God's wrath toward you. The Bible says, our God is a consuming fire, and only Christ's blood can extinguish the fire of God's wrath toward your sin. Religion will only teach you to trust it or to trust yourself. In order to go to God’s heaven, you must trust solely in what another Person did for you. Christ suffered, bled, and died to pay the deadly penalty that is due to the sins you commit every day. Ye must be born again. *John 3:7*
First: You must realize that your sin is against God Himself, and you are at enmity with Him, and under the curse of God's law. One sin is all it takes to damn your soul to Hell; so you have a serious sin problem, and you're in big trouble with your Maker.
Your rebellion against God's word and His will have made you God's enemy. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. You have a quarrel with God, but Christ's pardoning blood can take away the anger of God toward you. The reason for the feud between you and God is your sin, and only Christ's heart-blood can settle the feud. God wants to save you; we know this because He cared enough to send a Mediator to save you. God is ready to freely pardon you now for Jesus' sake.
Second: You must believe that God the Creator became a Jewish man (The Lord Jesus Christ), and that Christ Jesus lived a sinless life in thought, word, and deed for you to fulfill the demands of the Law for you; and then suffered your sin's due punishment on the Cross. God’s Blood was shed for your sins on Calvary’s Cross, and then Christ rose victoriously from the dead.
Thirdly: You must acknowledge that *only* the Lord Jesus' doings and sufferings are needed to save you from the wrath of God. This doesn’t mean Christ ‘plus something’ else (such as your so-called good works, religion, baptism, Mary, the saints, or anything else you might dream up). Christ will not ‘Mediate’ for you, unless you trust Him alone. The very instant that Christ and His blood alone come between your soul and God, your soul is safe forever. This means you cannot help save yourself at all, so stop trying. Religion keeps you working and guessing, but Salvation is about trusting and knowing. Flee from your own doings and Trust only the Lord Jesus Christ. Trust Christ’s doings, not your own. Only Christ's Precious Blood and Righteousness (sinless perfection) will appease God's wrath and save your soul. Christ must get *all* the glory, not you.
Come to Christ Jesus through faith in His Precious Blood now and leave your sin problem with Him. Trust your soul's eternal Safety with Him alone. There is one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. *I Timothy 2:5* Christ Jesus was the Victim provided by God to suffer for your sin. Jesus Christ is the only Sacrifice that God demands for your sins. God became a Jewish Man (Jesus of Nazareth), and He bore your sins in His own body, and then died in your place. If you refuse His Atoning Sacrifice, it only means endless war with God. Friend, “That’s What It All Boils Down To.” If you reject Christ, you do it at your own peril. If you will not have Christ as your Savior, you are arming yourself for an eternal conflict with your Maker. You are rejecting your soul's only hope when you reject Christ. Please repent at once of your insane choice. Jesus said, “He that believeth not shall be damned.” The rejection of Christ is the soul-damning sin.
Right now, rest your soul's Eternal Safety solely on the Mediator. What will you do with Christ? Receive Him or Reject Him? We beseech you, we persuade you, we compel you to look to the Lamb of God. Please trust Christ today, simply ask Him to Mediate, that is, come between your sinful soul and the holy Creator God. Repent of your dead works and trust Christ's blood alone to shield you from the justice and wrath of God. Plead Christ's Precious Blood now and your soul will be at peace with God. God be merciful to me a sinner through the Blood of Christ, I receive your Son now!
