You are charged with sinning against your Maker. You are so guilty, do not deny it. You will have to die sooner or later, and bid this world adieu. You are now in great trouble on account of your sins against God's Law. You continue to cling to your sins, you love the ways of sin, not Christ. Your sins demand your eternal death. You will be called to account before God at the great day of Judgment. You're a sinner for sure, you know it. Without Christ you are facing an awful doom in Eternity. Your sin is such an evil and bitter thing that God must punish it, and God was manifest in the flesh and suffered for your sins. You have lived in utter indifference to Christ and have neglected eternal things. But the Crucified God delights in Mercy. God for Christ's sake can still justly pardon your guilty soul. You think much upon your education, occupation, checkbook, retirement, status, affluence, stuff, and worldly recognition, but not about immortal soul. The naked truth is, you don't want to give up your sins, because you love them, and you cannot tolerate the simple and pure Gospel of Christ. Be wise - Take some time to think about your soul. Give to Christ what you cannot keep (your soul), and He will give you what you cannot lose (eternal life).
Give earnest heed to the Gospel - this is of extreme importance. Play not with your immortal soul, don't be heedless, careless, and thoughtless concerning the realities of Eternity. Your soul will outlast the stars. The first object of your soul should be to be saved from the love of sin. Human sin can only be put away by an act of God's divine mercy and grace. Jesus Christ suffered for you, God's Son bore the punishment that was due to your sins on Calvary's Cross. The simple truth is this, come now and rest your guilty soul upon Jesus' blood and merits. As long as you continue neglecting Christ, you are sinning every moment. Do not try to hide your sins, or to make up a righteousness of your own, but go to God and tell Him you have done wrong, plead for His free forgiveness for Christ's sake. Tell God you have a tendency to do wrong, and ask Him to change your heart and nature.
The Spirit of God leads needy sinners from the love for sin, and from a dependence on their own righteousness, into paths of truth, purity, humility, faith, and holiness. The Holy Spirit leads the guilty sinner to the Person, Blood, Merits, and Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. By little and little the Holy Ghost leads the lost sinner to see the iniquity of his impure thoughts, deceitful heart, and inward evil nature, and then draws him to lay hold on Christ Himself for free salvation through His blood and merits. An unbeliever without God is naturally led by the spirit of this world, the god of this world (Satan), and by his own godless spirit. Only the Gospel of the Grace of God can turn a sinner from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God, and from his evil heart and ways and from his deadly dependence on his own righteousness, to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Look alone now to and depend on Christ's Blood and Righteousness alone. A saved soul continually renounces its own way, wisdom, righteousness.
You can only be forgiven for Christ's sake. Your sin is not too great for God's mercy. There is no sinner incurable or unpardonable. But your sinful case must be brought directly to Jesus Himself, only He can save you from yourself. Christ is the only way out of your sins (John 14:6). Nothing else but Jesus' blood can end your guilt. Leave it all to Jesus. Make Jesus your sole reliance. Either Christ must bear your sins for you, or you must bear them forever in the Lake of Fire. Give up confidence in everything but Christ's Blood and Righteousness. Your sinful nature has polluted every so-called good deed you have done. Faith in Jesus' blood is the passport to Heaven. Trust your soul with the Son of God who bled and died upon Calvary. Never put any faith in yourself. If you trust to any human merit, you might as well trust to your sins. Nothing must be trusted but the finished work of the Lamb of God upon Calvary's bloody tree. Entirely abandon every hope of salvation by your own works. The precious blood and spotless merits of Jesus Christ are your only hope. Your helpless soul must hang upon Him who did hang upon the tree of Calvary for sinners.
Human nature attempts in its own strength to achieve divine results - this is called Self-Righteousness. Childlike helpless dependence on Jesus Himself is the only way. You are doing your soul serious mischief by neglecting Christ. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and HE WILL have mercy upon him, and to our God, for HE WILL abundantly pardon. Trustfully look to the bleeding Lamb of God, God is as good as His word, He will keep His promises. The Gospel freely offers eternal life to the most ungodly. Whosoever believeth on Jesus is not condemned. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from ALL SIN. The only way you can avoid the White Throne Judgment and the Lake of Fire is to trust the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Whosoever comes to Jesus, He will in no wise cast out. Whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely. Do not refuse to face the facts of your sad case. Don't try to forget your awful condition in the sight of God, recollect your sinful past, remember the Cross. Come to the Cross and meet the Truth face to face. Your love for sin has put you into a deadly lethargic slumber. Wake up! Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. The Crucified and Risen Savior is rich in Mercy, come to Him today through His Precious Atoning Blood. Jesus said, "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you Rest." You can find immediate eternal salvation in the Blood of Jesus today. Your only hope lies in taking hold of the Savior by simple childlike faith. The eternal Creator has revealed Himself in the person of His dear Son Jesus Christ, who lived, loved, and died for the salvation of His enemies. And now, whosoever will trust God as He is revealed in Christ Jesus will be granted freely the forgiveness of all his sins, on the spot. Now at once heartily trust in Jesus' shed blood. Jesus will save you from the love of sin as well as the guilt of sin.
How can God be just, and yet the Justifier of the ungodly? If God be just, surely He must condemn the ungodly. It is God that justifieth. How can this be? Only JESUS can answer the question, and He answers it this way - “I have borne the penalty that was due to human sin; I have stood in the sinner’s place, and suffered that which has fully satisfied the claims of divine justice on the sinner's behalf; I have paid the sinner’s debt, so now the Law and Justice may let him go free.” “Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all.” The great Sin-Bearer suffered in the sinner’s place; the sword of divine justice smote Jesus, for He stood in the sinner’s place, willingly bearing the sinner’s penalty; and, now that sin has been punished upon JESUS, now God can be just, and yet be the Justifier of all who believe in His dear Son. The great fact of Christ's Substitution is the truth that your soul must rest upon for Salvation. The vicarious Sacrifice of Christ for the sinner; Christ suffering and bleeding for the sinner; Christ’s being made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (II Corinthians 5:21); Christ offering up a true and perfect expiatory and substitutionary Sacrifice in the place of His enemies, who are saved by their trusting in His Blood - this is the central fact of the Gospel.
The everlasting God took upon Himself the form of man, and suffered for your sins. There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we Must be saved. Take hold of God in Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ took my place, and saved my soul by His mercy and grace. Simple, humble, adoring gratitude at the foot of the Cross will cheer any sinner's heart. Leave your lost soul confidently in the hands of Jesus Christ at once, and you are safe forever. Whosoever trusts Christ is saved. Believe on Christ now. Simple trust in the atoning blood of the Incarnate God and Savior is way out of your sins. If you reject Christ, you will perish in your sins. Receive Christ into your inmost heart (John 1:12). The forgiveness of your sins (Colossians 1:14) and the salvation of your soul are of extreme importance. Trust the risen Savior now, put your soul into His hands for safekeeping, and then confess your faith publicly and declare that you are on His side. And then trust and obey Jesus better and better each day. Always be coming to Christ, and be constantly committing your soul into His dear hands.
