Always Remember - No sinner can ever deserve anything but Hell, including you. All sinners are out-and-out rebels against God, they are presently under the wrath and judgment of God, and lost in the darkness of unbelief. Sin only leads to delusion, hopelessness, despair, and perversion. Christ crucified bore your sin and curse, and He is the only acceptable Savior from the wrath of God (John 3:36). Every human religion of good works and moral potential is nothing but a false confidence which leads men down to Hell where they belong.
Sinners simply refuse to surrender to the Son of God. By nature, man within is dead and lost and totally unable to do anything about it. The devilish snare of *human pride* will finish off every sinner in the end. Sin is so horrible and hateful that it took the death of God's own Son to put it away. God the Father forsook His Son in the darkness on Golgotha's hill, because all human sin was laid on Jesus on Calvary's Cross.

You are now dead in your trespasses and sins, and your soul is perishing without the living Savior. In Hell, you will lose your soul, and all the good things you have had here on earth, all sense of your loved one's presence and love, all your spiritual, physical, and mental well-being, all enjoyment of created things, all carnal ease and friendships will be taken from you, and in their place will be nothing but loneliness, pain, horror of spiritual darkness, and an Eternity of agony in the Lake of Fire.
You are currently playing fast and loose with Sin, and you will soon wake up in Hell without the Savior who died for you. The New Birth (John 3:7; I Peter 1:23) is absolutely necessary for your salvation. Jesus died to rescue ruined sinners from the judgment to come. Human effort and potential is good for nothing. Stop living as if your salvation depends upon you. Jesus loves sinners, ONLY because He loved us so. Jesus doesn't love us because of anything good in us, but today He loves us, because He has done so much for us. The people you love the most are the ones you have done and sacrificed the most for.

Bearing your shame, and scoffing rude, in your place condemned Christ stood, He sealed your free pardon with His most Precious Blood. The *CROSS* is the sinner's only Confidence before a holy God. Christ substituted Himself upon the Cross especially for your sins. Jesus took the death you should die - and now He is mighty to save. Because the sinless Savior died, your sinful soul can be counted free, for the just God is satisfied to look on Christ's Blood and freely pardon you. O vain man, be wise!!! Trust only to Christ's Blood and Mercy. Cry out from your heart today, "God be merciful to ME a sinner!"
To preach salvation by good works is to flatter people and so avoid opposition. To preach salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ is to offend people and so invite opposition. All human beings are the enemies of God, under His just judgment, and if they are left to themselves they will remain hopelessly lost in sin. And Christ crucified who bore their sins and curse and wrath is the only available Savior. Earthly religion always emphasizes human potential and human ability with Christ mixed into the message only to boost and inspire religionists to greater human endeavor and betterment. The former is the way to be faithful, and the latter is the way to be popular. It is impossible to be faithful to the message of the Cross and be popular simultaneously. We mustFlee to the Cross, Follow the Lamb, Fight the good fight. You can only be helped when you are humbled.
Nowadays men care very little about their soul. All men have real *sin trouble* and the only Person that help any sinner with sin is God Himself who was manifest in the flesh - Jesus Christ the Righteous. Some troubles in this life your mother can help you with, or your principal or teacher, or the police or a doctor, but when you have *sin trouble*, you have real trouble that only GOD can help you with. Sin trouble is a spiritual type of thing, no doctor, or pill, or program can help you with your inward sin problem.
No lawyer, or preacher can help you either, you're going to have to get help directly from your Crucified and Risen Maker. You must go to straight to Jesus Christ, or your sins will drag right into the pit of hell when you die. Your greatest necessity is a personal Savior from your own personal sins. Old sinful habits die hard, if you don't take them to the Savior, they will doom you. The world's system wants to erase the thoughts of the God of Bible from your mind and life. Sin is repulsive, and men love it. Men fear everything but sin.
A man's own iniquities will eventually enslave and control him, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. The Blood of God that flowed from Christ's veins is the only antidote for your sin problem. The blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from All Sin. *I John 1:7* Sin is like a python that slowly wraps around you and constricts your mind, squeezing the life right out of you. Sin always complicates life. One night of sin, can put you in a wheelchair for rest of your life; two nights of sin, might make you bed-ridden and put you in hell. If you love sin and hate Jesus Christ, you love death. Human nature does not find sin repulsive, men drink down iniquity like water. But the wages of sin is still death. You have ignored, slighted, and cussed Jesus Christ all your life for no good reason.
Fools make a mock at sin. You don't think that your sin is going to get a hold of you, and then one day you find you are bound by it. What you think you have under control, will soon control you. And then you'll wake up some day, and say to yourself, "I'm tired of this, I'm tired of my lack of self-control, I'm sick and tired of my selfish sinful nature dictating to me, I want to regain control of myself, I want to rid myself of these old shackles, I'm going to get loose, I'm tired of this misery and brokenness", and then you'll groan and struggle in your own self-will, and your sin will take you down even deeper. You'll want to get loose from your sinfulness, but only Jesus Christ and set you free. Jesus said, "He that committeth sin, is the servant of sin." *John 8:34* Mark it down - Without Jesus Christ, you will remain a slave to your sin. If you have trouble with sin, no one can help you but God, that is, Jesus Christ. *John 1:27*
You say, "Well, I know when to quit. Well, a little bit won't hurt. Everybody does it these days." Yeah, but after a while, it won't be a little, it's going to be a lot. And a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump, and a little sin won't stay little. You can't quit your sin, and your sin will soon get you. Like a vehicle, you are gaining speed in your sin, and you're going to want to stop one day, but you will crash and burn trying to stop. Your Sin affects you and those around you. Christ died for the ungodly; He came not to call the righteous, but Sinners to Repentance. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. *I Timothy 1:15*
Today, the word *SIN* is not found anywhere in any textbook from K5 through college. But the first thing they give you when you get to prison is the Holy Bible. The State is pretty hypocritical: they keep the Bibles out of public school, but put them in the jail cells. And you can be sure, *your sin* will find you out. Beware - If you keep playing with sin and messing around, your sin is going to fix you for good. Sin trouble will soon bring you low; it's just a matter of time. Sin will soon strike you with its deadly bite. But remember - Christ Jesus, God in human form, came into this world and died for your sins - He is risen from the dead and alive forever more.
Only the two-edged sword of the word of God can take head off of that deadly serpent within you called Ssssssin. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Plead the Blood of Jesus and the mercy of God right now. Real salvation will give you a holy fear and hatred for sin. Beware of sin just like you would beware of a king cobra or black mamba. Jesus Christ is seeking you and He is out for one thing - to save your soul - He created you, He died for you, and He doesn't want you to perish. You take Him, He'll take you. Give your soul over to Jesus Christ now, or you will lose it.
