As long as you remain in your natural sinful state, your Soul is under your Sin, under the Curse, under the Law, and under the Wrath of God. Only Christ Himself and His Righteousness can Ransom you and bring you under His Grace. You cannot be under the Curse and under Grace at the same time. You cannot be in your Sins and in Christ at the same time. You cannot be in Darkness and in the LIGHT at the same time. The MAN CHRIST JESUS not only deserves your Highest praise -- He deserves ALL your praise.
God Almighty has set forth strict demands in the Law of His Ten Commandments. You have disobeyed God's commandments, denied His claims, and your violations of His laws have brought your Soul under an eternal Penalty, which the Bible calls the CURSE. No man has ever kept the entire Law except JESUS CHRIST. You may think you've lived a decent and respectable life, and think you're so very good, and free from fault, but you're NOT according to the HOLY CREATOR. You have transgressed the LAW, and by your thoughts and actions have incurred the LAW's Penalty. Only JESUS is JUST; you are unjust. Only JESUS is RIGHTEOUS; you are wicked. God demands Absolute Sinless Perfection from you, how are you doing? God's LAW is the Holy Microscope, and the LAW is all-searching and detects Sins when you don't. The moment you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you are no longer condemned, freed from the Curse, accepted in the Beloved; your Soul can rest in peace, and you're justified by Faith forever.
Every man has sinned and fallen under the Curse of God's LAW, and you will remain under the Curse until you are Ransomed by the Precious Blood of the Crucified Creator. The LAW deals with your thoughts, desires, imaginations, motives, and intents of the heart. You are Guilty in every way, and Guilty every day. You have never loved the Lord God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind. You've not loved your neighbor as yourself. You've come way short of the God's righteous Law, and you are under the present Curse of God. If you die under the Curse, JESUS will say unto you, "Depart from ME, ye CURSED into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." You are either Righteous or Wicked right now in God's sight. Your Soul is either Blessed or Cursed in God's sight this very moment.
You will not get to Heaven by trying to do something for God; you will get to Heaven by what God's Son did for you; JESUS offered up Himself and loved you to death, laid down His life and shed His sinless Precious Blood for your sins and for the the Curse connected with your sins. There's only one of two things you will get in Eternity: Justice or Mercy. If you avoid and reject Christ, you're going to get Justice, or you come to Christ and be granted MERCY for His Great Mercies' sake. Do you want to get what your sins deserve from the infinitely Just Creator? Justice, Fiery Indignation, Vengeance, Wrath, Recompense, Everlasting Lake of Fire. The only way for a sinner to receive Mercy from the Creator is for an innocent Substitute to be punished in the sinner's place. There was no innocent person on Earth to be found, so God became a human being, and was born into this world at Bethlehem, the man Christ Jesus. JESUS was the Father's innocent Substitute/Atonement for human sins, The Lamb of God. God was manifest in the flesh, He condescended to Earth, and allowed His rebellious enemies to torture and kill Him on the Cross of Calvary. JESUS bore our sins in His own body, and became Sin for His enemies, and then JESUS finished the Blood Atonement that God required for human sins, so sinners could be freely forgiven for Jesus' sake. Now God is Just and the Justifier of the ungodly sinner who believes in JESUS. The ungodly sinner can now be given Christ's Righteousness freely through Faith in JESUS' atoning Blood.
He that believeth not on JESUS is condemned already. The LAW curses every sinner, without exception, for we have all broken the LAW. The LAW utterly crushes all your self-righteous confidence. If you have committed one solitary violation of any command of God, you are Cursed by the Law. If at any time throughout your entire life, in any way (i.e., in deed, word, or thought, by omission or commission) strayed from absolute moral perfection, your Soul is Cursed with condemnation and guilt. JESUS said, "Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Matthew 5:28) The LAW thoroughly searches our thoughts, imaginations, and secret desires. All men and women are polluted with Sin before God, and need to be cleansed by Christ's Atonement. JESUS' finished Atonement for human sin is the only way to approach God now and in Eternity.
A death-bed is a dreadful place to be an unpardoned sinner under the Curse of God. You are numbered with the guilty, you must be saved by the Mercy of Christ, stop looking for Salvation by your own obedience. The spirit of disobedience is working in you right now; you can never please God in the flesh. If you try to come to God in your self-righteousness, this proves that you are under the Curse. You are without God and Christ in this present evil world, having no hope, having no true communion with God,, and presently under God's wrath and Curse. You go to sleep every night under the Curse, you get up and go to school or work under the Curse every day, and you have a big time and play the fool on your cell phone while you are under the Curse. Your Sins defile and pollute your Soul every day. There are no exceptions, this condemnation is most sweeping. Every sinner comes under the Curse, every one you see at the store, at work, at home, they're all under the Curse, unless JESUS has rescued their Soul. Only the Precious Blood of God Incarnate can clear your Soul of all your sin's guilt.
You may keep the Law for a few seconds while you're sleeping, but as soon as you wake up, you're going to transgress and violate the Law of God again and again. Christ Jesus came into the world to save LAW-breakers (sinners) from the Curse and Condemnation of the LAW. Just like a fiber optic cable can be perfectly sound for hundreds of miles, but if it is broken in one place, the data will not flow any further. You have broken the LAW, and there is no Light coming from God to your Soul whatsoever. It is an utter impossibility for you to obtain Salvation through the works of the Law. JESUS finished all that for you, and now you need to simple Receive His RIGHTEOUSNESS and BLESSEDNESS.
Only Christ Himself can redeem a Soul from the Curse of the Law. He paid the Ransom with His own Blood, and He sets the sinner free, and buys the Soul back with a price. The Gospel produces a moral change in you at the New Birth from the Holy Spirit; the Divine Nature is imparted to the Soul. By the Ransom Price (Precious Blood), you are justly freed from the Curse.
As long as you continue to avoid and reject Christ, you are imperiling your Soul day by day. All religious ceremonies are useless and obsolete. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit are converts made to Christ. Stick to the Only Gospel, Stay put at the Cross. The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation. The Best News for fallen sinful men comes from the Cross of Christ, not some vain religion. The Gospel proclaims Jesus Christ crucified, buried, and risen the third day according to the Scriptures; this great truth must be fixed in the center of your heart. I will try to make clear the Gospel to your lost Soul and set forth the person, blood, and righteousness of the Man Christ Jesus, for He is the only way to the Father.
Your sole hope and only confidence must be the Finished work of Christ Jesus the Righteous. Christ is the Capstone, Cornerstone, and Foundation of the Gospel through and through. Ask the Lord Jesus to help you know Him, ask the Lord Jesus to enable you to believe and trust HIM, and to take His very words as the only eternal Truth. Put everything else aside; you need to come into real Contact with the Bleeding and Risen Savior. May the Holy Spirit help you to understand the only Gospel, trust Christ, find Rest in Him, be perfectly Happy in HIM, all your sins will be washed away in His blood, and your Soul will be justified freely by His Righteousness.
Christ Jesus is the ALMIGHTY GOD and a Jewish Man in one Person. He put on human flesh and blood, so He could bear our sins and their penalty and curse. JEHOVAH condescended to suffer in the place of His enemies, and pay for the sins of those who offended Him and rebelled against His authority, and without tainting His holiness, He can now pardon sin freely, and receive sinners by His grace and mercy. JESUS lived a perfect, sinless life, and finished the work of the ATONEMENT (Romans 5:11) the moment He gave up the ghost on the Cross of Calvary. The Lamb of God is the sinner's Sinless Substitute. Sin is a polluting and damning thing; don't take Sin lightly. Only by bloody death of the Son of God could your Sins be paid for, forgiven, and your Soul be saved from damning guilt. Christ bore our sins and suffered the penalty due to our sins in you place, He was made a Curse for us, so the Justice of God could be satisfied, and we could be saved freely for Jesus' sake.
I am saved by the Righteousness of Christ, not my own righteousness. The Father laid on JESUS my iniquities, He was oppressed and afflicted, so my Soul could be saved. Christ was made to be a CURSE for me in my place. Jesus bore my sins and my Curse that came with my Sins, He bled and died in the place of guilty sinners, especially me.
The Curse of the Law fell on JESUS; The Father hid His face from JESUS. God made JESUS to be SIN for us. It pleased the Father to bruise JESUS; He hath put Him to grief. The penal consequences of the sins of the whole world were laid upon the Substitute, and He vindicated the Law of God fully forever, so I could go free. The Righteous Christ suffering in the ungodly sinner's place: this is Substitution, and The Only Gospel. It was a divine miracle how God became a human being and suffered for sins, and also magnified His own Law, bearing the CURSE instead of the criminal, and satisfied eternal Justice.
JESUS is now risen from the dead, and interceding for every believer at the right hand of God. Thoroughly Believe in your heart for yourself, trust to the real Blood Atonement of Christ Jesus, or you will die and perish in your sins. Bind the Gospel of Christ to your heart; Make JESUS your only Confidence; Look to His bleeding wounds; Trust your Soul with Him. Cry out after JESUS, may the Holy Spirit bring you to your bearings, and get rid of all vanities, lies, whims, and nonsense.
Death will soon be staring you in the face, you need to Focus on Christ, there must be close dealings between your Soul and Christ Himself. When its dying time for you, nothing will do but the Crucified Creator. His Precious Blood and Precious Righteousness must be on your Soul. This is the way to God: Childlike reliance upon JESUS' finished work. The Lamb of God suffered in your place: Christ agonizing, bleeding, dying for your sins on the Cross. Only JESUS can discharge your sin debts, and bear all your Curse and Penalty, that the Law demands. The Gospel saves, comforts, and draws the Soul nigh to God. There is no other Hope for lost sinful men but this: The Justice of God has been vindicated by the bloody death of the sinless Son of God, and by faith in His Precious Blood sinful men are delivered from the Curse of the Law, because JESUS was made a CURSE for sinners. God knows how wicked you have been, God is Just, and He must punish your sins, so God the Son in Mercy bore all your Guilt and Curse on the Cross, and now through grace I believe on JESUS. JESUS loved you, and gave Himself for you. O what a Perfect Atonement; receive the Truth of the Gospel, then receive JESUS Himself into your empty soul by Faith. The Gospel is available now and free for the taking. The horrors that JESUS felt in His soul for me, as He was suffering the wrath of God for my sins, are too vast to be conceived or expressed. God counts the sinner Righteous who believes in JESUS; God forgives all our sins, and justifies our Soul. Heartily receive the Savior into yourself by Faith in His Precious Blood. Do not cavil at the simple Gospel, for it is just to God, and very safe and free to sinners. Have done with trying, and Receive Christ's Atonement, His Finished Work. (John 19:30)
Receive JESUS now into your empty Soul by Faith in HIM, and after your Soul is born again, you will be sanctified by the presence of the Holy Spirit in your heart. Then you will begin to desire inward purity and private piety, you will begin to feel a horror and dread about sinning against God, you will walk cautiously and respectfully in Jesus' steps. You will be distressed in your mind at the thought of your sins and temptations. After your Soul is saved, and you led by the Spirit, you won't love Sin any more; you will dread and avoid Sin out of gratitude to JESUS for His bleeding Love to you.
