THE *REAL* ISSUE 4

What are you seeking today? You are pursuing something enthusiastically, there's no doubt. Why seek ye the LIVING among the dead? With your deepest, most intense and thorough desire, you should be seeking the KING OF KINGS, His Kingdom, and His Righteousness. You main desire should be to depart the kingdom of Satan immediately, and enter the Kingdom of GOD. The Kingdom of God is entered by Faith in Christ, and gives divine Life and Liberty, Communion with the Holy Spirit, and all through the power of the Spirit of God. Seek to enter the Kingdom of God immediately, without any delay. 

You abide physically in some kingdom, like the UK or USA. In like manner, your Soul spiritually abides in one of two kingdoms: the kingdom of Satan (by nature/by default), or the Kingdom of God (by faith in JESUS CHRIST). Where is your Soul abiding today?

Just as you enter your home's door at the end of each day, seeking for shelter, rest and peace; likewise, seek to enter in at the Door of the Kingdom of God, who is The Lord Jesus Christ. The Master-Key to the Door is FAITH. JESUS will GIVE your Soul Shelter, Rest, and Peace. When you enter that Door, you become a citizen of the better country above, and a loyal subject to the King of Glory. Yield your sincere faith and obedience to the KING; take His Yoke upon you; enjoy His bread; drink His Water of Life from His cup; and let His Bread of Life be your Soul's nourishment.

The only Entrance into the Kingdom of God, into this Grace, is by faith in Christ Himself, being born again by the Spirit of God, for through JESUS we have Access by one Spirit unto the Father. In JESUS we have boldness and access with confidence by the Faith of JESUS. Submit to JESUS and find free eternal life in HIM. You must believe in JESUS, trusting in His great Blood Atonement for your sins. There is no Salvation apart from His full Atonement. 

The only way to enter the Kingdom of God is by Faith in the Son of God, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ at once, Trust your Soul with Him. The KING OF KINGS grants access to His kingdom. As many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on HIS NAME. Seek the KING at once, earnestly by prayer, seek God's mercy specially by Faith in Christ's Precious Blood. Be ye Reconciled to God now through Faith in JESUS' Blood, come under His supreme sway, become more and more obedient to His divine rule; His yoke is easy and His burden is light. 

Human nature despises the Gospel, because the Gospel clearly states that you are entirely lost and the very best you can do is full of sin and will send you to Hell for sure. The Gospel never asks you to save yourself, because you cannot. Salvation must be wrought within you by the power of the Holy Spirit. I trust in what JESUS experienced on the Cross for my guilty Soul's sake; I would never trust in any experience of mine. Simple trust in the SCRIPTURES and in JESUS' PASSION, BLOODY DEATH, RIGHTEOUSNESS. Whosoever believeth in JESUS hath Everlasting life.  

Only JESUS is fully able to save your Soul from beginning to end. It is very hard at times for the Holy Spirit to get the Robe of Christ's Righteousness upon the sinner's back who believes that his own coat is as good as it needs to be; the sinner has worn his rags a very long time, and he clings to them. The sinner is a slave to his evil and an enemy to God; yet he thinks he as good as he needs to be, and much better than most of his neighbors and friends. The sinner is a respectable person in the community, well inclined, and much thought of in the church. The self-righteous man is too proud to beg and take charity from the hand of Christ at the Cross. 

Please let the Holy Spirit pull your filthy rags of self-righteousness off your soul, because those rags will burn your Soul in hell forever and ever. Your self-righteousness is highly flammable. Do not make light of Christ, for He bled His life away to Ransom you from your sins. You cannot change your sinful condition, just like a tiger cannot change his stripes. Put your full Trust in Christ's RIGHTEOUSNESS. The Righteousness of God is the sinless divine Perfection of JESUS CHRIST. Trust in Christ's Righteous life and Substitutionary Atoning Death for your ungodly Soul. It cost JESUS His very life and blood to buy your Salvation, Ransom, and Redemption. 

Right now, Seek JESUS CHRIST, and Ask the Holy Spirit to cover your defenseless Soul in the Righteousness of Christ, and Ask the Holy Spirit to make you the Righteousness of God in Christ, through His mighty power. Trust only in the infinite Perfection of God's dear Son. You can never be saved by your works; nothing you have done, or ever will do can deserve God's infinite Mercy. Christ's Salvation is the Free Gift of God to undeserving sinners. Right now, Trust your Soul simply, wholly, heartily, once and for all, with the Lord Jesus Christ. Whosoever believeth in HIM hath Everlasting Life. 

As the thirsty man seeks water, as the hungry woman seeks food, likewise, seek ye first the KING. Trust JESUS only with your Soul, and you are Safe forever; you can be very Sure of that. Before your health is gone, before your mind is gone, seek ye The LORD JESUS CHRIST with all your heart. Once you enter the Kingdom of God, you will unfeignedly repent of your sins, and your mind will be changed about sinning against God and those around you. You will love what you used to hate, and hate you what you used to love. Repentance is the hearty loathing, the giving up, the turning away from, the forsaking of sins, the giving up every false way. Keep clear of everything that will keep you from the Savior. 

Come to Christ with your Soul stripped naked, without one rag of your foul righteousness, or any of your strength. Your Soul is utterly destitute, worse than a beggar. Poor benighted Soul, end your foolish labors, never look to your damnable righteousness, simply Submit yourself to the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. You are not asked to earn Eternal Life, but to receive Everlasting Life from Christ Himself, for HE IS the Resurrection and the LIFE. Away with whatever you may be trusting in apart from the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ. Away with all your righteousness, your self-trust must be slain and forsaken. You must be saved and justified freely by the Righteousness of Another, JESUS CHRIST. You must find All your Righteousness in JESUS CHRIST. Lay your deadly doings down, once and for all, down at JESUS' pierced feet; Stand in His Righteousness alone and be made gloriously Complete in HIM. 

Seek JESUS first: The Highest should be sought first, and Christ is the Highest. The Person your Soul needs most should be sought first and foremost. That which concerns and saves your most precious part, your Soul, must come First. Your Soul is far more precious than your body; your Soul will outlast the universe. While your mind is still clear, and your heart is still beating, seek ye first the KING. If you receive the KING, you will be in His kingdom instantly, and adopted into the family of God. Seek the KING first every day and first in every decision you make; give your All to Christ first. 

Always begin your day with Christ, because He sustained you through the night and allowed you to wake up and think. You seek love, friendship, spouse and a family; you seek an education, you seek an income, gain, ease; you seek health, you seek shelter, food and raiment; but seek ye first the KING and His Fear. Seek ye the KING first before anyone or anything else; make God your Father and your Friend. Care for God, for He cares for you; Mind God's business, fret over your sins against Him, depart from your evil, seek God's Righteousness and Wisdom. The Fear of the LORD is to depart from evil, and that is Highest Wisdom of all.

After you enter into the Kingdom of God, you ask JESUS to rule in your heart and mind, and establish His throne of Righteousness within your inward parts. Ask Him for the purity, righteousness, peace, joy, and rest that appertain to His KINGdom. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring your every thought into captivity to His divine will. 

After you enter JESUS' Kingdom, you seek to extend His Kingdom to other Souls around you. We put on the whole armor of God and war a good warfare with the weapons of grace, love, kindness, the sword of the Spirit, which is the words of God. Enlist for life in the army of the LORD, always seeking to win hearts to Christ. Let all your strength and faculties go into serving, living, blessing, magnifying, and glorifying the Father. The greedy man seeks mammon, the miser seeks another buck, and a sick man seeks to be healthy. 

Seek ye first the Kingdom of Christ; Seek His RIGHTEOUSNESS. Seek most of All the RIGHTEOUSNESS which God the Father has freely prepared for us through His dear Son, Christ Jesus. Seek to Pardoned and Perfected by the Precious Blood and the imputed Righteousness of The Lamb of God. Seek ye first of all to be made Just in God's sight first of all, not to be wealthy or to be great. Seek ye first of all to live Right for Jesus' sake. Seek ye first of all to obedient to God. Seek not to be great, but to be meek and lowly; Let this be our focused ambition. 

Our one aim of life should be to always do Right for JESUS' sake. Serving Christ is not always profitable here in time, but serving Christ with Sincerity yields eternal Profit. Stay in the GOOD WAY (John 14:6), never take the devil's shortcuts. Seek the Righteousness of Christ to spread throughout your entire life, His things that lead to truth, purity, temperance, honesty, liberty in our hearts.

THE NEW CLOTH

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. 

No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. 

And He spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

And Bartimaeus, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

To them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.  

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. 

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

That like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

THE *REAL* ISSUE 3

For they being ignorant of God's Righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the Righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the Law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth. (Romans 10:3-4) Human nature has invented all kinds of ways to damn itself. If you attempt in any way to be your own savior, you will surely lose your Soul. Be wise now: Stop attempting to save yourself, and fall into the arms of the merciful Savior, Christ Jesus. Nothing else will save your Soul but God's infinity Charity found in Christ Jesus. 

Like the hamster on his wheel, the self-righteous sinner is laboring to saving himself, seeking to get somewhere by his own merit, but he toils in vain without any true result. Religious efforts are useless drudgery leading only to despair and despondency. Men try to make themselves feel better by their own works, and then by GRACE their dead conscience is awakened by the divine Law, and they become truly conscious of their sinfulness, more than ever before, and sink in sinful misery and despair. For you are alive without the Law, but when the Commandment comes, your Sin will revive, and you will surely die from trying to save yourself.

When a man strives to save himself from his sins by his own righteousness, the Holy Spirit gives the man a glimpse of his own heart, and then he ceases from self-glory. Only by Christ's righteous life and substitutionary bloody death can Justification come upon your guilty unworthy Soul. Trust in Christ's Righteousness, and never yours. The surest way to damn yourself to Hell is to trust in any of your righteousness. The only way of Salvation from the wrath of God and the terrible Judgment of Divine Justice due to your deadly sins is the Righteousness of God, the Holy One of God, The Lord Jesus Christ. The person you trust your Soul with really matters. Your guilty Soul must be Pardoned and Perfected by Another, and not yourself.

Come personally to the personal Savior in your own heart by putting your trust in His Person, His Precious Blood, and His Perfect Righteousness. Trust in JESUS Himself, and you are saved on the spot, trust to His five bleeding wounds, His bloody sweat, His crown of thorns, and His deadly Cross. Trust only JESUS at once. Your sins must be lifted from your guilty Soul, and then laid upon the Innocent Lamb of God. The FATHER hath laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all. The FATHER made JESUS to be sin for us, Who knew no sin. The Father laid upon JESUS all the weight of human sin. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, cast away your righteousness, and take His Righteousness to be your righteousness. Receive the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your Substitute, Sin Bearer, Full Atonement; for He bore your sins in His own body on the tree, and died to pay your sin debt. Never cavil with Christ, Submit to His Righteousness ASAP.

Human nature spurns the Righteousness of God, because it prefers human righteousness. Human nature is full of self-conceit, enmity against God, and knowingly refuses to submit to Christ Himself, and willingly prefers self-righteousness to Christ's Righteousness. The natural man willfully despises the Righteousness of God. The carnal mind obstinately refuses to turn, bend, submit or bow to JESUS CHRIST. The natural man is a slighter of JESUS and His gospel. Slighting God and making light of His SON, Who is the Righteousness of God, is the way to perdition and hell. Men make light of Christ due to their ignorance, pride, blindness, wordliness, and thoughtlessness. All your boasting must be excluded, and your righteousness must be forsaken, renounced, abhorred as a deadly thing. 

The carnal mind esteems human righteousness highly, and clings to it for dear life. The insolence and pride of self-righteousness is the very worst of sins, because human nature slights the Righteousness of God. The natural man neglects the simple act of putting off his filthy rags, and putting on the Best Robe, Christ's Righteousness. It is grievous and irksome to the natural man for him to give up his own righteousness. Human nature willfully refuses to receive the free wedding garment. The natural man foolishly rebels against the authority and Righteousness of God. 

Human nature kicks against the Righteousness of the sinless Savior, and goes about to establish its own righteousness in opposition to Christ. The carnal mind is enmity against God, and defies and goes against Christ's perfect Righteousness. Be wise: Seek to be found in Christ, not having your own righteousness, but Christ's Righteousness which is of God by Faith in His BLOOD. 

The Holy Spirit graciously imputes and freely imparts Righteousness to the guilty Soul who believes in JESUS. Righteousness must be wrought and imputed in the Soul by the Holy Spirit Himself. Every man and woman is a defiant rebel to God; they are insolent toward God, rude and arrogant, and have a lack of respect toward the Savior. 

Human nature is obstinately uncooperative toward the authority and rule of God the Father. The Righteousness of God irritates the self-righteous man. But remember this:  You must go one day where heart is. Human selfishness clings to its own righteousness and rebels against the Righteousness of God. Human nature says NO to submitting to God's dear Son, and refuses to submit to the rules and terms of God's free Grace. May the Holy Spirit help you to become submissive to God in heart and desire to receive and honor Christ. 

LORD JESUS, My King, please make me sincere, I come to You for Your Righteousness and Rest, Pardon and Perfection, I submit myself to your Righteousness. Please make me Righteous by your Grace, please accept me through your Precious Blood . I yield to Your divine Will and ask for Your Free wedding garment of spotless Righteousness. I choose to receive you; I object not to Your Way, please let me wear Your Righteousness, and make You known to men, for only You are the worthy great King. King of my life I crown You now and Submit to Your Righteousness and Way.

THOU KNOWEST

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars. I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast MY name, and hast not denied MY faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME. I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. I AM HE which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. These things saith HE that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward HIM. I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. Then hear Thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart Thou knowest; (for Thou, even Thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) O God, Thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether. And he said unto him, Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed My sheep. Thou shalt guide me with Thine eye. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in HIS sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of HIM with Whom we have to do.

THE *REAL* ISSUE 2

O have I got GOOD NEWS for you: The Eternal Essential your Soul desperately needs RIGHT NOW, in this life, and out in Eternity is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD found only in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, EMMANUEL, GOD WITH US.

The GLORIOUS GOSPEL of The Lord Jesus Christ, the Power of God unto Salvation, reveals the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD to sinful man. Now the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD without the Law is manifested, even the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD which is BY FAITH of JESUS CHRIST unto All and upon All them that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ through Faith in His Precious Blood. By the offence of one, Adam, Judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE, CHRIST JESUS, the Free Gift came upon all men unto Justification of Life. We obtain precious Faith through the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

Where is the boasting of sinful human nature then? It is excluded by the Law of Faith in JESUS CHRIST Who is THE END of the Law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every sinner that believeth. The LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself has brought in everlasting Righteousness: for He offered up Himself without spot as an ATONEMENT, and now God the Father is Just, and the Justifier of the sinner that believes in Jesus. God is the righteous Judge, and the infinite loving Father to all sinners, Who laid down His own life through JESUS Who suffered for our sins. 

The natural man that is dead in his sins is unconscious of his own sinfulness; grossly ignorant of God's Holy nature; unaware of the Righteousness which God requires (i.e., absolute perfection); oblivious to the perfect Righteousness which Christ has prepared long ago; a stranger to the Person who is the Righteousness of God (Christ Jesus Himself); unheeding to the Spirit of God's drawing and persuading; and terribly ignorant of how to obtain the Free Gift of the Righteousness of God. Will your Soul be prepared to enter Eternity and face your Holy Creator? The only preparation for your Soul is to be washed Clean and MADE NIGH through Faith in JESUS' PRECIOUS BLOOD, and then be MADE RIGHTEOUS by being covered in the spotless Robe of Christ's PURE RIGHTEOUSNESS. The Spirit of God must do all this for you; Salvation is not your working in any way. You must only Enter Freely at the Poor Door. As long as you refuse to receive Christ freely and submit to His Righteousness, your Soul is in a perilous situation as each day goes by.

Human nature's vain glorious attempts to set up its own righteousness is a doom loop, and only the Holy Spirit can snap you out of your self-righteous spell. Human nature is madly determined to prop up a righteousness of its own. With untiring diligence, human nature is trying to spin its own covering, just like Adam did in the garden of Eden. Human nature works tirelessly to build a shaky shelter with a shifty foundation, very poor materials, and bad mortar, and at the last, the rickety shelter of self-righteousness tumbles down upon the Soul. If you try to add one stick or stone from yourself to the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.  

The very best thing to do with your own righteousness is to get rid of it forever, for it will damn your soul for sure. You need the absolutely flawless Righteousness of Christ; come to Christ Jesus now, and take the Righteousness of God from Him freely. Only be a sinner with nothing, and receive Everything from Christ. You could never deserve to have your sins forgiveness; God's rich mercy can never be earned by your deadly efforts. If you reject Christ's free terms of Salvation, His precious Salvation can never be yours.

Self-righteousness is deeply entrenched in the heart of man, with persevering attempts, going to desperate lengths to accomplish this deadly foolish hope. But Christ Jesus has already wrought out a Perfect Divine Everlasting Righteousness in every respect. Self-justification and self-salvation is crazy nonsense. Any thoughts, works, or feelings that come from you are sinful and vain, so NEVER trust them. 

The Salvation of your Soul lies absolutely outside of yourself. Never rest in your own righteousness for this is a wretched dangerous ease. Never trust yourself at all; Only Look unto JESUS. If your Hope and Faith is not entirely fixed on what JESUS did for sinners, you are lost right now. You must SUBMIT to Christ, and His Righteousness; Yield to Salvation by Free Grace and Bleeding Love. You must GIVEN Righteousness and Rest from Christ Jesus Himself: You have nowhere else to go but to HIM. Self-righteous religion is a deep ditch, and once your Soul falls there, it is impossible to pull you out: Only the Holy Spirit can rescue you from the deep ditch of religion. Be wise: Flee to Christ for Refuge, Righteousness and Rest; Forsake your mephitic self-righteousness; Rest quietly and securely in JESUS' BLOOD and RIGHTEOUSNESS; Ye Must be Born Again of the Spirit of Christ. 

You are Lost, because of your sins against God. One lascivious look is the root of adultery; indecent thoughts and desires are the root of fornication; envy, hate and ill-will are the root of murder; and murder is inward hate ripened into the deed. Since you have no righteousness whatsoever, God in His tender mercy has prepared and wrought out the perfect divine RIGHTEOUSNESS, by which He can now freely justify the ungodly, because JESUS was absolutely Pure and Holy in thought, word and deed, and then as a Substitute, JESUS bore your sins in His own body on the tree, and suffered the punishment your sins justly deserved. God the Father laid the iniquity of us all upon His only begotten Son, making JESUS to be SIN for us, even Jesus Who knew no sin; and by the transference of Sin, the sinner who believes in Christ Jesus is made to be the Righteousness of God in Christ. Christ was made to be SIN for us, so that sinners might by MADE RIGHTEOUS in CHRIST. God manifest in the flesh, the Holy Son of God Himself, bled and died on your behalf.

You must have Christ's Perfect Righteousness, not your own righteousness, in order to escape  the terrors of the Day of Wrath and Revelation of the Righteous Judgment of God without any alarm. The only way of Salvation is by the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and the attempts of modern thought are sheer delusion. Has any of your righteousness been wrought out by yourself, or has the absolute perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST been freely imputed to your guilty Soul by the power of the Spirit of Christ? Your Soul can be eternally safe in the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST today, for His Righteousness is Holy and without spot or blemish. Now understand: The Eternal Essential your Soul desperately needs RIGHT NOW in this life, and out in Eternity is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD found only in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, EMMANUEL, GOD WITH US.

THE *REAL* ISSUE 1

The REAL ISSUE is that your sinful, guilty Soul needs RIGHTEOUSNESS to face God at the coming Judgment, and you don't have any righteousness of your own. You desperately need the Righteousness of Another: GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS is a living MAN seated at the right hand of God, right now: His name is JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS. *I John 2:1; Acts 4:12* Quit wasting your time, Come to JESUS and Rest in His Righteousness: Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of GOD, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. *Matthew 6:33* For they being ignorant of GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. For CHRIST IS the end of the Law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth. *Romans 10:3-4*

Human nature maniacally says, Live for yourself, Love yourself, Save yourself. BUT, The Holy Spirit Himself and His working discovers our inward sinfulness, blots, spots, blemishes, filthiness, and foulness, and then, the gracious Holy Spirit persuades us to wash our Soul clean in the PRECIOUS BLOOD of the Lamb of God. The Holy Spirit's sharp axe called the Law is laid unto the Root of our self-righteousness; then our sin revives, and we die. The Holy Spirit visits the Soul, and we feel His convincing, His awful withering of our self-goodness, and He begins to dry up the vain glory of self-righteousness. You begin to feel the awful weight and burden of your Sin and its curse, bitterness and bondage. You can never rest until you Come and Submit to JESUS' RIGHTEOUSNESS. You must be brought to the end of yourself, and only the Holy Spirit can do that for you. When the Holy Spirit begins to move, you will begin to feel the very Evil of Sin within you, and only then will you highly value the LAMB OF GOD HIMSELF and His PRECIOUS BLOOD. 

Self-righteous Pride is the sin that damns a man or woman forever and ever. Christ Jesus is God's RIGHTEOUSNESS manifested to take away our sins. God Almighty manifested Himself here on Earth, putting on human flesh, in the person of Jesus Christ, in order to bleed and die for His sinful creation. If you reject Christ, it is because you think your righteousness is greater than God's RIGHTEOUSNESS. A person can't go to Hell for murder, suicide, adultery, theft, kidnapping, or even worse.  A man goes to hell for what he doesn't do; a man goes straight to Hell when he doesn't receive Christ and submit to God's RIGHTEOUSNESS. Self-righteousness is the soul-damning sin. Never forget: JESUS is the Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing but *THE TRUTH*. JOHN 14:6

The greatest mistake of human nature is to attempt to build a refuge of counterfeit righteousness in their own strength based on their own doings. RIGHTEOUSNESS is not found in the LAW, but at the CROSS where the LAMB OF GOD offered up Himself, and became Sin for us. RIGHTEOUSNESS is not obedience to a commandment, statute or precept, but receiving a Sinless Person, Christ Jesus the LORD. Righteousness comes not by obedience to commandments, but by submission to CHRIST. To Submit to God's Righteousness means to renounce your own "righteousness" and acknowledge your complete failure and inability to save yourself. The willful, stubborn resistance of human nature rebels and refuses to renounce self-righteousness, and to simply receive Christ's RIGHTEOUSNESS Freely. There is coming a day of Judgment, and on that day it will not matter who you think you are or what you have done, but only what The Lord Jesus Christ has Finished.

Deadly human nature loves to feel, experience, and do. Human natures exalts its efforts and experiences above what God has said and what Christ has done. Human nature tries to better and perfect itself, and tries to help save itself in some way or other. Christ was God manifest in the flesh, you are not. Christ was Sinless, you are not. God will only give you Christ's Righteousness, for Jesus' sake. Be ye reconciled to God; Put your full Trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross: Fix your Faith in the Finished Blood ATONEMENT of The Lamb of God, Christ Jesus, who became Sin, bore Sin in His own body on the Cross, and took the sinner's place - He did all this for you.

Be wise now: Take Christ at His word, and Rest entirely on what Christ did for you. All you can do to stay out of Hell is forsake your righteousness and trust GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. Self-righteous do-gooders wind up in hell where they belong. Never ever dote upon such a perverse falsehood to think, that you could ever make yourself righteous and acceptable with God in yourself. If you do well, you will be accepted, and the best you can do is to admit your own inability, quit trusting your own righteousness, and simply trust CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS. Not by works which you can do, but according to God's mercy, Christ will save you Freely. Behold the LAMB OF GOD, which taketh away the SIN of the world; never look to yourself.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His Blood, we shall be saved from wrath through HIM. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. JESUS loved you enough to die in your place; He died for your sins and pay the penalty due to your sins. JESUS died for His enemies; Christ died for the ungodly, that's you. You are like a foolish child that loves to stomp, sit down, and play in the mud puddles of SIN.

Have you ever been Born Again of the Spirit of God? If you are counting on anything you have done or will do to obtain the New Birth, you have never truly experienced the New Birth inwardly. You can never make yourself RIGHTEOUS in the sight of God by your own doings; You must be MADE RIGHTEOUS by the power of the Spirit of God. *Romans 5:19; I Corinthians 1:30; II Corinthians 5:21* You must believe on SOMEBODY (CHRIST JESUS): You don't do the works, JESUS loved you to death literally, and He has already done all the work FOR YOU - IT IS FINISHED!

God' standard of Holiness is the Law (Exodus 20; The Ten Commandments), and you have violated that holy standard innumerable times, secretly and publicly, throughout your lifetime. There is none RIGHTEOUS, no, not one. All have sinned, and come SHORT of the Glory of God. Now understand: The Glory of God is JESUS CHRIST. Christ Jesus was sinless and lived a sinless life in the sight of God the Father, perfectly fulfilled the Law, and He is the only absolute Righteous person who ever lived. The FATHER raised JESUS from the dead to prove His sinless death was forever effectual and able to save sinners to the uttermost. God is Right, and you are wrong; JESUS is sinless, and you are not. You need GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE MAN CHRIST JESUS. If you reject God's Righteousness and die in your sins, God will judge your secrets by JESUS CHRIST at the Day of Judgment. God will bring every work and deed of yours into Judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. If JESUS had not done among them the works which none other man had done, then they had not had sin: but NOW have you both seen and hated both JESUS and His FATHER. You hate JESUS CHRIST without a cause.

Human nature vehemently says, "I am right and God is wrong!" Human nature dreams up religions, sacraments, ideologies, philosophies, vain beliefs, traditions, good deeds, and moral standards as a a basis of trying to justify itself before God. The self-righteous man sincerely and zealously seeks to "be good' in his own eyes, and tries his best to make a Liar out of His Creator by competing his imaginary goodness with the perfect HOLINESS of JESUS CHRIST. Christ Jesus is GOD's RIGHTEOUSNESS, and your righteousnesses are as filthy rags. The Holy Bible calls your sins and your so-called goodness nothing but FILTH.  You can never be as Righteous as JESUS CHRIST, for He knew no sin, and did no sin. JESUS was Holy and Blameless, and no unrighteousness was in Him.

You see, the very root of the matter is RIGHTEOUSNESS. Human nature devises many ways to justify himself and try to dodge and avoid the real issue which is RIGHTEOUSNESS. Self-justification is what will damn you to Hell. Human nature has erected many religions throughout history: Darwinism, Protestantism, Taoism, Humanism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Mahometanism and the like, for the sole purpose of avoiding the root issue. The REAL ISSUE is GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and His name is JESUS CHRIST. Human nature tries to substitute man's righteousness for God's Righteousness, or tries to mix man's righteousness with God's Righteousness which is an impossibility. Human nature insanely insists on trusting all or parts of self-righteousness to save the soul, and refuses to forsake self-righteousness, and submit to Christ's RIGHTEOUSNESS. The root problem inside you is that you are self-righteous, that is, you think you are better than most of the folks around you, and are completely unaware and ignorant of the HOLINESS of God.

Muhammad, Islam's founder, said that Christ never died on a cross. Muhammad, the Pope, Joseph Smith, and Buddha in their own conceits made up their own religions in a vain attempt to make themselves appear or feel righteous in their own eyes or in the sight of men. Muhammad called Jesus Christ a prophet, but Muhammad did not believe that Jesus Christ ever died on a Cross atoning for the sins of the whole world. The "Jesus Christ" that Muhammad dreamed up never died on a cross, and He never died for anyone's sins. Muhammad only recognized JESUS as a prophet, like Moses, David, or Baalam. Muhammad rejected God's Righteousness; he tried to be righteous in himself without God's Righteousness. When Muhammad died, he didn't have to face Allah, because Allah is only a strange god that was made up in Muhammad's depraved mind. Muhammad had to face JESUS CHRIST, and give Him account of himself to God manifest in the flesh (See Acts 17:30-31). 

Religions want you to think, that they can give you a temporary salvation through their rituals, water, sacraments, or ordinances without experiencing the New Birth inwardly from the Spirit of God. Religions offer you a false salvation you can lose at any time. The New Birth comes by you believing on JESUS CHRIST, Receiving HIM down into your inward parts, and trusting only to HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. You see, religions are what lost self-righteous humans concoct and invent, so they can do something to try and gain God's favor and mercy without trusting and receiving GOD'S SON. Men love DARKNESS rather than LIGHT, because their deeds are EVIL. Religionists set up their own moral standards and rituals, because they are seeking to justify themselves by their own self-righteous deeds. The quickest way to hell will always be through religion. 

Think much of JESUS CHRIST, Trust His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and not yourself at all. God set up the conditions for a Soul to be saved, and you must be saved on God's terms, not yours. Your opinion or thought has no value whatsoever. You must be saved by the Atoning Precious Blood of The Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh. God will only show His Mercy to you is through His Beloved Son's RIGHTEOUSNESS and BLOOD. If you do not put your faith solely in Christ Jesus' Precious Blood, you will meet your Creator in wrath and judgment.

If you die in your sins without Christ, you will wish for all Eternity, you would have listened intently to the Gospel and trusted to Christ alone, and not what you THOUGHT. God's RIGHTEOUSNESS died between two transgressors on Calvary's Cross. The Lord Jesus Christ was born sinless, He lived a sinless life, then God the Father made JESUS to be SIN for us on the Cross, that we might be made the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD in JESUS. Jesus died a perfect death, The Lamb of God offered up Himself, He offered the Perfect Blood Atonement for human sin on the Cross according to the Scriptures, and He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. And now, JESUS is able to save sinners to the uttermost that come unto God BY HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them. But as many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on HIS NAME.

Human nature wants to do some great thing to try and save itself, but that will only damn you quicker. There is a Fountain filled with Blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins and sinners plunged beneath JESUS' BLOOD lose all their guilty stains. The dying thief rejoiced to see that Fountain in his day, and there may I, though VILE as he, wash all my sins away. Only under the Blood of God manifest in the flesh can your Soul be forever clean and safe from the wrath to come. Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Believe on THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, Submit to HIM and Receive HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and thou shalt be saved from the imminent wrath of God. That's THE REAL ISSUE.

*BY HIM*

All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. He was in the world, and the world was made by HIM, and the world knew HIM not. For by HIM were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by HIM, and for HIM: and HE is before all things, and by HIM all things consist. Having made peace through the blood of HIS cross, by HIM to reconcile all things unto himself; by HIM, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by WHOM also he made the worlds; There is but one God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we in HIM; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by WHOM are all things, and we by HIM. If so be that ye have heard HIM, and have been taught by HIM, as the truth is in Jesus. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by HIM. 

Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them. Who by HIM do believe in God, that raised HIM up from the dead, and gave HIM glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by HIM all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by WHOM also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by WHOM we have NOW received the ATONEMENT. For it became HIM, for WHOM are all things, and by WHOM are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

THE INWARD PARTS

Who hath put Wisdom in the inward parts? or Who hath given Understanding to the heart? Their inward part is very wickedness. Behold, Thou desirest Truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know Wisdom. And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and platter, but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. Salvation is an internal matter the heart and the will, that matters the very most. But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, cleanse me from my sin. To be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man.

Inward Parts: Heart, spirit, soul, mind, conscience, the will, reins, thoughts, intents, motives, imaginations, impulses, desires, designs, devisings, debating, decisions, yielding, understanding, emotions, affection, memory, consciousness, bowels, faculties, reason, intellect, propensities, tendencies, inclinations, appetites, habits, passions
