Man is his very best state is altogether VANITY; and the LORD JESUS CHRIST is always Altogether WONDERFUL. Man is nothing in reality imagining vain things, filled with idle dreams, empty conceits, carnal tendencies, lascivious indulgences, corrupt inclinations, sheer-delusion, and make-believe righteousness. Beware of the pride of life, the lust for rank, the desire to make a name for yourself, the craving to hoard and be tight and greedy with your finances, the hope of temporal evil gain, the desire to please men, and not God. Carnal reason, boasting and wisdom leads you into a deadly dead end. Depart from evil; do not dilly-dally with sins. Are you seeking the Holy Spirit's strength and fighting against your besetting sin? Come now penitently and submissively to Christ; He is only Hope in this world and in the world to come.
Human nature has a propensity for forgetting God, immorality, ingratitude, and folly. The reason you hate and constantly question the HOLY BIBLE is because it clearly forbids sinful pleasures such as lust, fornication, adultery, lasciviousness, pornography, uncleanness. Wisdom from above leads you first to be Pure; and only Christ can give you true Purity. When you fear God, you will eschew evil, depart from the snares of death, and flee to Christ for eternal Refuge. The more a man gives himself to immoral darkness, the more he will avoid and hate the light of the Gospel. Each hour and day you continue in loving your sins and rejecting Christ only brings you into more darkness, misery, hardness of heart, and difficulty of change. When the moral brakes are taken off, and the sin engine is running hot downhill, the Soul is in imminent danger. Hell is selfishness on fire; the lake of fire is separation from the presence and goodness of God, perdition is an eternity of hatred of God, the fires of lust, the worm of despising God, wickedness and wretchedness for evermore. The Soul without Christ has a inner fever hot after sinning, very thirsty, dried up with evil desires, and inflamed with evil lusts.
Outside of Christ's protection, sin is working in you to damn you, you are under the motions of sins: obstinate will, darkened judgment, depraved affections, selfish desires, evil thoughts, foul motives. The LORD JESUS CHRIST sees you all time, He is reading your heart, He knows your secret thoughts and intents, He hears the words you speak and do not speak, and records them all in preparation for Judgment day. All of your imaginations, inward depravity, lusting, desires, anger, envy, pride, and rebellion is being transcribes each and every day. Prepare to meet thy God: only Christ Jesus can expunge your crimes against God. Your unchecked temper leads to evil anger, your lusts to evil longings, and your heart to evil covetousness, pride and rebellion. If you have not spent your life on JESUS CHRIST, and planning to spend the rest of your life on HIM, you have and will squander your life on nonsense and folly and wind up losing your Soul in the end.
The way to Hell and eternal ruin is very easy, just keep on doing what you're doing, and you will inevitably wind up in Hell. One Soul perishes by debauchery, another may perish by respectability, and another may be doomed in his religiousness. One Soul may be lost in the bar drinking his Jack Daniels, and another Soul may be lost in a pew playing church, relying on his own righteousness and self-decency: the devil doesn't care how you go to Hell; as long as you to neglect Christ, the devil is happy. JESUS and what He has done for you, this is your Soul's only Hope of Escape from the damnation of Hell.
This is the way of Wisdom: Lie down in surrender at JESUS' feet, believe He will save your Soul from the love of sin, and trust your Soul in His hands, or you will surely lose your Soul forever. Hang upon JESUS closely like a baby clings to his mother. Since I cannot save my Soul, I fall into Christ's arms and plead His tender mercy. Ceasing to rely upon anything of my own, I just Rest upon HIM entirely. There are a thousand and one ways to Hell, but there in only one WAY to Heaven: the Man Christ Jesus. Be reasonable and sensible, have mercy on your Soul: Come into personal contact with the living God, right now, by faith in JESUS' Precious Blood.
Walk in Christ's meekness, lowliness, holiness; live in submission to Him all through your day, enjoy His peace. Be wholly submissive to the Lamb of God; heartily adoring HIM. This is honorable usefulness, to be lowly and useful for JESUS' sake. Learn that in self-sinking and self-denying your real usefulness will be found in Christ. For JESUS' sake, gladly bear the brunt of poverty, sickness, slander, persecution, bereavement, temptations, reproach. Simply trust in JESUS alone at this moment; then respect the LORD by departing from known evil, and freely give holy reverent adoring gratitude to the Blessed Redeemer.
