As Clear As Day

I am so Glad that God saves sinners like me.  A lost soul is like a very sick man, bedridden due to an illness, the deadly disease of sin is so far advanced in him that his soul is without strength to help itself.  No power remains in him, even to lift a finger, he can barely even open his eyes. No strength remains to rid himself of his deadly illness, and he doesn't even desire to be rid of his sickness. The soul that sinneth, it shall die eternally. The soul cannot save itself from the love of sin and darkness, and even if he could, insanely he chooses not to be healed. His whole head is sick and his whole heart is faint.  

Like a man sinking slowly in quicksand, there is no way you can escape from sin in your own power.  Just as your body can only find Relief from a painful toothache at the dentist's office, your soul can only find Relief from the plague of Sin at the Cross. Human nature loves the evil which is slowly destroying the soul. This ailment is not physical or mental, but moral and spiritual. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners who are guilty before their Creator.  The human ear has never heard a more cheering and saving truth than this:  Christ died for the ungodly, which are thoughtless about God, very vile, thoroughly wicked, and full of arrogant unbelief.  

Christ Jesus, the Son of God, God over all, JEHOVAH manifest in the flesh, the Creator of heaven and Earth:  the Almighty out of Infinite Love stooped to become a human being and bled and died in your place to suffer the eternal punishment due to your sins.  In Him there was no sin, nor could there be, His mission and passion was to save the wicked from themselves. The Holy Spirit is the true destroyer of evil deep in the human heart, for He abhors iniquity.  The Lord Jesus Christ alone can redeem us from the penalty of our sins. His Atoning Sacrifice is the Miracle of Miracles we need so desperately.  Christ Jesus was sent on a divine errand with full credentials from the Father Himself. Christ died literally, He really bled to death, and laid down His life for us, gave up the ghost, and commended His spirit back to His Father.

This is an indisputably clear Truth -- Divine Justice was poured out on the Lamb of God for my soul's sake.  His death was most terrible, he was blameless, yet He died the death of a criminal between two thieves on Calvary.  He was condemned by a howling mob: malicious gazes, scornful glances and cruel jeering broke the Savior's heart as He died in agony.  Cruelly inventive taunts and blasphemies were hurled at Him as He breathed out His last few breaths. He hung on the Cross naked with bleeding wounds for your soul, enduring a devouring thirst and unspeakable torment in the hot sun.  The most deadly death He endured, for He bore our sins and the wrath of God in our place.  Is your naked soul presently covered with the merits of the blood of Christ? It will do you absolutely no good to go through a bunch of religious motiions if you have not been born again within through the power of the Holy Ghost and Blood of the Lamb of God.

Christ died for the ungodly: the ungodly are those souls that have no thoughts about God through their days or weeks, they don't bring God into their daily decisions, they are not mindful of God's presence, or even thankful to Him. The ungodly simply forget God and leave Him out of their life. They have no true love for God, His Son, or His words.  But Jesus still came to seek and save that which was lost.  If you neglect Jesus Christ, your condition will only develop into a deeper damnation. Your benighted soul needs the Light of the world; Your starving heart needs the Bread of Life. Every imagination of the thoughts of a man's heart is only evil continually. Only the Precious Blood of the Incarnate Creator can cleanse the heart reach deeper than the stain of human sin has gone.  That which sinful man could not do for himself, God has done perfectly, for the Blood Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin.

Here is your dreadful diagnosis:  Without God in this present evil world, having no hope, aliens and strangers wandering in the darkness, enemies in your heart to the Creator, dead in trespasses and sins, corrupt and prone to mischief, without Christ, utterly and hopelessly lost. Just like a shipwreck victim floating on a piece of wreckage in the dark sea with nothing to drink or eat; you must be rescued, or you are doomed.  Jesus died for you out of pure pity and selfless benevolence.  Our sins are repulsive to our holy Creator.  We are fallen, miserable wretches in His sight.  God saves us for Jesus' sake, according to His lovingkindness, tender mercies, and gentle pity, not due to admiration or merit on our part.

The Precious Blood is the only Medicine for our soul's diseases.  Sin has many variants and it is constantly mutating and spreading to souls everywhere.  Sin is no respecter of persons, for it seeks to kill and destroy everyone in its path. We cannot cope with our soul's sickness, we must dial 911, cry out for help, seek the divine aid of the Great Heavenly Physician, for He is our only Cure.  There was a dreadful Penalty that had to be paid for my sins, that I committed against God Himself. Only the Precious Blood can wash away the heinous stains of my sins.  His sinless death is the only Atonement for the guilty; His death is for those who by nature are Ungodly. Full free pardon is only for the guilty and ungodly.  Christ died for me, for I am really guilty and ungodly indeed.  

Only the Precious Blood can cleanse your polluted inward nature. If you need a new heart and right spirit, the Gospel of Christ is for you.  Only the Holy Spirit can regenerate your soul from the death of sin.  The broom of the Law must first sweep our heart, and the candle of the commandments must search the dark corners of our soul and clearly reveal to us our sinfulness. Only after that will you seek the Savior's Help.  The Holy Spirit must show you your sick soul's blood work, and only then will you humble yourself and seek the Physician's aid.  He fills the hungry soul with good things, but the rich (self-righteous, smart alecks) He sends away empty.  While your soul remains in its natural state, undone and unconverted, you are in peril and great danger.  You are in such peril, that only the pierced scarred hands of the Lamb of God can rescue you.

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, bore the bloody sweat, the piercing crown of thorns, the nails and spear, the scorn and shame, Sin and Death itself.  Your soul presently has a solemn need and is in imminent peril without Christ.  You are currently under the wrath of God, you must surely die sooner or later, and then as surely as you live and breathe in this moment of time, you will be lost forever and be driven from the presence of God into an everlasting punishment.  

Now understand: The Cross of Christ is the Danger sign for your soul here in time, for it warns you that God spared not His own Son, and He will not spare you.  Sure and sudden destruction awaits your soul in a Christless Eternity.  We all gradually make it into Eternity:  Vitality, Infirmity, Frailty, Mortality, Reality, and then Eternity!  Infinite agonies were suffered by Jesus to save you from Hell.  There is a battle raging very fiercely every day for your immortal soul.  

Salvation is a dire necessity, for God spared not His own Son, but freely delivered Him up for us All.  O what a Miracle of Love was displayed at Calvary.  If you ever enter Heaven, it will be solely because the Incarnate Creator bled out His sinless life's blood for you, especially. Don't let another day go by and remain lost in your sins.

Your soul's sure and eternal Safety is only found in the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves us, only because He loves us, not because we are any good.  His Heart is full of pity towards you today, He is not willing that any should perish in their sins. "Perish" means to die eternally. Your soul will either live or die eternally somewhere out in Eternity, that is your personal choice to make.  Believe in the Glorious Gospel of the Grace of God, trust to Christ's Precious Blood alone, Close at once with Christ Himself, really know and truly trust Him.  

The qualification for admission to the Emergency Room at any hospital is to be severely sick or injured. Your perilous condition convinces the doctor to receive you at once. The fitting person for Charity is one who is helpless and in abject poverty.  Don't pretend to be righteous, or dream that you are better than others, for you are as full of badness as the ocean is full of salt. We have no grounds for boasting, or to say, "See how good I am everyone."

Never think lightly of your sins against God, don't dilly dally with your soul.  Utterly abhor the sins that caused great suffering to the Lamb of God.  A knife that is rusted over with bloody gore used by a murderer to kill your mother, or wife, or child would never be played with by you. You could not endure the sight of such a deadly weapon that was stained with the blood of your loved one.  However, your sins are the daggers that stab the Savior's heart.  Sin is an abomination to every soul who has been redeemed by the Lamb of God's Atoning Blood Sacrifice. Only Mercy melts hearts of stone.

Lord Jesus, please save me now, for I am ungodly.  Years and years I have spent in vanity and pride caring not that you were Crucified for me.  Cleave to the Saviour now as you would desperately cling to a life ring in the midst of a stormy sea.  Humbly ask Jesus to give you a new heart, new desires, new appetites that will please Him. Trust now in the mercies of God through the atoning bloody death of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The most heinous offense in God's sight is the rejection of the sacrifice of His dear Son.  The greatest Criminality under heaven is to reject and avoid the Lamb of God.  

The Highest Love ever is that the Incarnate Creator in the person of Jesus Christ bled to death to save lost sinners, just like you, just like me. Human nature hates God so much that it will reject Christ even as He is dying to save them from dire depravity and desperate rebellion. Do not harden your heart against the merciful Savior; Do not reject Christ and call God a liar to His face. There is no better news than what you are reading, the message of infinity mercy from the third heaven delivered here just for you. For your own soul's sake, lay firm hold on Christ Jesus Himself and eternal life at once, this very moment.  Turn off your TV, Put down your cell phone, Focus your mind and heart on the Savior, Seek ye the Lord Jesus Christ while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. For Jesus' Sake, Amen.
