For God, who commanded the LIGHT to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the LIGHT of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of JESUS CHRIST. The pure free Gospel is the most abhorrent thought to evil human nature. Human nature is diametrically opposed to the Gospel of God. Rest and lean simply, wholly upon the Cross. May the Holy Spirit help you to come to your senses today: Confess your utter blindness, deafness, and bankruptcy. The Salvation of any sinner comes from the free Mercy of God, and not from a person's merits. A sinner has no merits, only crimes against God. You are dead in trespasses and sins, and only the Holy Spirit can quicken you and infuse the divine nature into your Soul. Without JESUS CHRIST living in you, you are only a reeking mass of animated Sin and Death. By nature, you are dead in your sins, without God, without hope, and without any power to help yourself. You are not Alive unto God, you are utterly and entirely powerless, unable to do anything for yourself spiritually or eternally. You could never heal your heart's blockages, and you cannot your heart's sins. Dead souls worship dead things. Eternal Life and the divine nature is a Gift from God which cannot be procured by your doings.
Admit it: You are lost, self-condemned, ruined, undone; You can do nothing to save your dead Soul. The Law has charged, tried, condemned and confined your Soul, and you are destitute of any power to help yourself. Education has maddened your brain into thinking you came from a monkey, and you'll die like a dog. Religion has darkened your Soul and bewitched your mind, and made you think you can help your Soul escape Sin and get to heaven by your own merits. Dead men cannot open their coffin lids on their own, raise themselves from the graves, and walk down the street breathing and blinking. And Dead Souls cannot recreate their own inward natures and change their sin-loving hearts. The leopard cannot change his spots, and the pig will always the love the mire, it's in their innate nature.
You are very fond of this world's amusements, damnable mobile devices and delusions toys. You delight in foolishness, profane jokes, dirty songs. Fools make a mock at sin, and the way of the transgressor is HARD here in Time, and even harder out in Eternity. Your innumerable sins of thought and deed against God can never be pardoned apart from Faith/Trust in the Precious Blood of the Crucified Creator. Your spasmodic religious excitement on Sundays will never take away your sins.
Take God at His words (See Matthew 11:28; Mark 10:15; John 6:35; John 7:37); Trust Jesus Christ's Precious Blood for yourself, and your Soul shall be ashamed or confounded when you stand before God in the judgment to come. You need Faith; Faith comes meditating upon Christ's sufferings, bleeding, dying, rising from the dead; Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Turn your heart fully to JESUS now. Behold the Lamb of God who can take away your sins.
Lord Jesus, I confess before You, I believe you came into the world to save sinners, I am sinner for sure, and I have no good works to trust in, I have no self-righteousness on which I can rely, I cast my doings and boasting all away, I cannot help save myself from the wrath to come, I come directly to YOU JESUS as a poor guilty helpless wretch in need of your MERCY. Lord Jesus, save me, change me withing, or I will surely perish in my sins. I trust my eternal salvation upon the merit and power of your Precious Blood Atonement. JESUS, I trust in nothing but You to deliver my Soul from the power of darkness. I receive YOU into my emptiness. Nothing I've ever done, or ever will do can help my empty Soul. All my Dependence and Confidence is fixed on your RIGHTEOUSNESS AND BLOOD. I rely simply and entirely upon You, dear Lamb of God. Please save my Soul from going to Hell where I belong.
