*THE RELIGION-ITE*

The self-righteous religionite would gladly do almost anything to earn eternal life - Anything except coming to JESUS CHRIST as a guilty sinner, and receiving HIM by Faith into their own heart. But according to the Gospel of the Grace of God, a sinner cannot contribute one speck of human goodness or feeling to his own salvation. Fallen sinful man would rather trust in his own efforts than bow before the Savior in helpless dependence. Yet the Gospel of the Grace of God declares that salvation is not earned, purchased, assisted, or completed by human merit. The sinner contributes nothing to his Justification except the sins that made his Justification most necessary.

The confused religionist places his confidence in convictions, ceremonies, experiences, duties, ordinances, and countless religious "its." He looks to things he has done, things he has felt and experienced, places he has visited, and rituals he has performed. Anything but Christ Jesus alone.

Human nature loves second-hand superficial religion dearly. The natural man loves a religion which consists in a great measure of outward forms, emotions, traditions, visible observances, and feelings. The lost worldlings delights in any religion that is shrouded in mystery - A religion system that it cannot fully comprehend, one they can hardly understand and never figure out, and one that impresses the senses and flatters the flesh. The lost man is fond of an outward formal worship (solemn or emotional) and religious pageantry, sacred objects. 

The carnal mind that cannot endure heart worship or believe the simple Gospel. They must have a clergy man of some sort dressed up in his religious garb; they must have an earthly human priest, smoking thuribles, fancy garb, magnificent architecture, gilded altars, exquisite oratory, holy days, sacred places, sprinklings, ornate garments, impressive cathedrals, strict observances, right forms, crucifixes, chancel, relics, organs, pomp, rosaries, candles, elegance, holy wafers, holy water, holy wine, holy oil, and every variety of outward religious nonsense.  They must have something with a crucifix on it to make them feel like they're closer to God. 

The lost religionite loves a human priest to think and pray for him, and do his religion on his behalf. Vain man has invented mechanical forms and dead modes of religion in order to get away from the Necessity of really and personally receiving Christ into your own heart. The religionist loves dead worship, and goes through the motions, listens to a homily, go to the mass, takes the sacrament, without any real thought personal Trust in the SAVIOR.

The carnal mind cannot endure the simplicity of the Gospel. It cannot tolerate the necessity of coming directly to God through Jesus Christ. Instead, it seeks earthly mediators, religious specialists/proxies, and elaborate systems designed to stand between the soul and God. Sinful man would rather have another person think, pray, and worship on his behalf than personally humble himself before the Lord Jesus Christ.

To escape the necessity of truly receiving Christ Himself into the heart, lost religionists have invented countless forms of mechanical religion. They attend services, listen to sermons, observe sacraments, repeat prayers and vain repetitions, and perform their religious duties, all while remaining strangers to real saving Faith in Christ Jesus. They go through the many religious motions without ever personally trusting on/receiving the Savior.

The natural man loves complicated ceremonies and human mediaries, because they allow him to remain religious in the sight of man without being SAVED in the sight of God. They like the priest/minister to stand up before them like some superior being, and deal with God for them. Lost men want a man-made religion, that does not interfere with their sinning throughout the week. He desires a religion that leaves his heart unchanged and his sins undisturbed. Human nature prefers a faith it can begin, maintain, and complete by its own strength. The unregenerate man delights in religious creeds, traditions, denominational loyalties, while neglecting the very Words of Eternal Life straight from the Living God. They have no INWARD LIFE deep within them, that comes from above, but they are most zealous for outward observances/ceremonies. 

The Conviction-ite loves a vain worship of show and garb and endless religious regulations. Men must have a religion they can see, hear, feel, and taste. The Religionite lives a vain outward show; he will not eat anything but fish on Fridays, but he cheats his customer or neighbor on Saturday, and then commit acts of injustice in his daily business, and filthy deeds in secret. Friendly Reminder: Your most secret thoughts and deeds are all known to the All-Seeing God (Proverbs 15:3) The religionite is very careful about ceremonies, but very careless and thoughtless about his Soul and Christ saving Him from the wrath to come. They display religion publicly while cherishing sin privately. They may observe religious regulations, attend sacred services, and maintain a respectable appearance, yet harbor dishonesty, pride, lust, envy, and unbelief within. Yet the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good (Proverbs 15:3).

The carnal mind (the flesh) loves a religion that permit him to lust, cheat, and swear as he pleases while preserving respectability. The religionist loves the glories of a ceremony, the splendor of the mass, and gorgeously appareled priests. Men will kneel down many times, and for a pretense make long prayer, perform public Acts of devotion to be seen and heard of men, yet REFUSE the secret worship of a broken and contrite spirit before God. Human religion refuses to enter the closet, close the door, and in secret, bow at an unseen altar and worship the invisible God in spirit and in Truth through Jesus Christ. Human nature forgets God, neglects Christ Himself, and disregards the Holy Spirit all day, all week, all month, all year long. He neglects God throughout the week and imagines that occasional religious observances compensate for his daily rebellion. The natural man has a self-destructive thirst for the sewage of Sin and Vice, and refuses godly sincerity and inward purity. The Cain-ite seeks acceptance with God through his own efforts. He wants a religion that he can achieve and control. He wants a righteousness that get by his own works and efforts. Religionists want their priest/minister to deal with things pertaining to Eternity and for them to remain abstract and distant rather than personal and Urgent. He outright refuses to go to God personally through Christ Jesus. Your Sins are not an abstraction, but your Sins will ruin your life, harden your heart, and if you're not careful, your Sins will soon doom and damn your Soul Eternally. 

Human nature clings stubbornly to man-made ceremonies, and depends upon itself. The carnal mind can never tolerate a personal God, the plain naked Truth of the Gospel, and Simple Faith in the Savior's Finished Blood Atonement for lost sinners. Men hate to change their religion, and refuse to abandon their false beliefs, because they DO NOT want to be changed inwardly. Human nature thinks it's pretty good, and that it can earn its own forgiveness and acceptance with God. If you still love your sins privately, you have a religion you'd better get rid of. Natural religion resides in the head, but never reaches the heart. The religionite loves a surface religion with no Grace and Purity deep within the inward parts of his heart. He imagines himself to be good enough to earn God's favor, while Scripture declares, that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Natural religion produces much self-righteous activity without LIFE, form without POWER, and profession without POSSESSION OF CHRIST. It creates religious people who know about God, but do not know God personally/inwardly; they have a false "form of godliness", but deny the POWER thereof.

The Ittite will tell you this: "You know, you must live IT to get to Heaven." Yet he can never clearly define what "IT" actually is. His superficial faith rests upon an undefined standard of personal performance. The Ittite worships an "IT" of his own devising, and he winds up in hell with his "IT" for all Eternity.  He trusts in a vague system of self-improvement rather than in the Finished Work (ATONEMENT) of Christ. Such religiousness is built upon unpredictable human effort and sustained by human energy (carnal show and excitement) —a flimsy house of cards that cannot withstand the judgment of God.  

The self-righteous religionite has little room in his thoughts for the Sinner's Savior, the Justifier of the ungodly, Who laid down His life for sinners, is nothing to them. The religionite imagines salvation is primarily for the respectable, the morally upright, and outwardly religious; not harlots, drunkards, inmates, thieves, adulterers, and fornicators. The respectable religionite who keeps his denomination's set of rules imagines he has no need to lay hold on THE CROSS covered in GOD'S OWN BLOOD. The religionist loves surpliced choirs, colorful banners, glorious processions, pompous ceremonies, enchanting music, and bewitching incense. The religionite supposes his own righteousness can be mixed with Christ's spotless RIGHTEOUSNESS to help save him from his innumerable sins and secure his acceptance before God. Lust destroys millions, but self-righteousness destroys billions of souls. You desperately need the Righteousness of Another, that will pass the Inspection of the great Judge of all the Earth at the last day. Poor sinner, never imagine can assist Christ in saving your sinful Soul. Beware of trying to mix your works with Christ's Finished WORK (ATONEMENT), the Full Price of Redemption. Nothing of yours will ever be added to Christ's Atoning Sacrifice of HIMSELF.

Every day God sees all the things you do, and ALL the things you fail to do. You need GRACE indeed, for you are Guilty indeed; You need MERCY indeed, for you are Filthy indeed. JESUS was perfectly GOOD, and you are NOT. JESUS lived sinlessly for 33 years, but you can't go 33 seconds without sinning against God in thought, word, or deed. Eternal Goodness (RIGHTEOUSNESS) can only be credited freely to your Soul's account based on what JESUS did FOR YOU, not on what you have done, or ever will do. Christ's Righteousness alone satisfies ALL the demands of divine justice. Humble yourself, and admit to God, that you're no good at all. 

Look honestly in the mirror of The Holy Bible, Look unto Jesus Christ Himself directly into His face, and see yourself in truth, compare your thoughts, motives, words, and deeds of the past to the Holy Law of God and to the sinless Life of Christ. JESUS did GOOD for you, and He will give you His GOODNESS, if you will repent and abandon all confidence in your goodness righteousness: TRUST Only to CHRIST. You must be saved freely just like the old janitor lady nobody notices, or the young school boy who can't read or write yet. 

Jesus did for sinners what sinners could never do for themselves. JESUS lived the sinless life you have failed to live; HE died the horrible death, that you deserved to die, and rose again victorious from the dead over sin and death. God freely offers CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS to all sinners, whosoever will repent of their own way, and trust in Christ Alone shall have Eternal Life.

For other foundation can no man lay, than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ the RIGHTEOUS. Your good works are good for nothing. Whosoever believeth in JESUS is not condemned, but whosoever believeth not on JESUS is condemned already. JESUS is able also to save them to the uttermost who come unto God by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them. Trust Jesus Only, and HE will save your Soul completely, immediately, and eternally.

SEND THE LIGHT 1

Human nature says, "If I go to Heaven, I will go my own way, I will take my chances with my faith tradition, I will deny myself, I will do my own inner work on myself, I will do my penance, and help out my neighbor, I will perform the outward ceremonies of my religion. Tell me something to do, I will do it, and I will be proud to do it, so that I can at the last win favor with God on my own terms. Are all my good works to go for nothing? Do you mean to tell me that all my religion is wrong and in vain, and that my mother and grandmother may be in hell?" I don't like this Gospel; I don't understand it; it is too humbling, too simple, too easy, too free, for me. " The Holy Bible says, You are less than nothing. The Holy Bible says, if you ever get to Heaven, you must go through THE WAY (John 14:6), that is, through what Christ did on THE CROSS for sinners, through Faith in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of CHRIST Himself. 

Nothing but the Holy Spirit Himself can ever bring a lost man to strip himself of all his self-righteousness, and only the Spirit of God's still small VOICE can persuade the sinner to rest and repose simply and wholly upon Christ Jesus the Savior. The lost soul who is rich in his own goodness WILL NOT come to Christ; he will not be saved the same way as a harlot or criminal. With all your self-goodness and self-help, you're still no better off right now than the whore that worked all last night on Bourbon and Canal Street. Your soul's Conversion and heart's Salvation must be ALL OF GOD, inwardly - this is the humbling Truth of the Gospel. Salvation must be ALL OF CHRIST, ALL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; the Gospel humbles the self-righteous sinner into the dust. Human nature has a desperate tendency to be proud, self-willed, and forget God every day. O what an ETERNAL MESS you will be in, if you keep on rejecting Christ, and die in your Sins.

The Gospel of the Grace of God is the Good News of Substitution: JESUS CHRIST, the Son of God became a man with flesh and blood, but His Blood was God's Blood, JESUS was conceived of the Holy Ghost. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, that He might take the Punishment sinners ought to have suffered. JESUS bore Sin in His own body, and He bore the Wrath of God which sinners deserved. JESUS took the guilt sinners committed upon Himself, and now any sinner who puts his Trust in that Substitution can escape the eternal punishment of his sins. For God's divine justice cannot demand payment twice, first at the Lamb of God's hands, and then again at the sinner's hands. JESUS was the only Substitute in human history for human sin and guilt. Receive JESUS Himself as your Substitute, your Salvation, your Hope. 

Mother Nature is the world's goddess of creation. Lady Luck is the world's goddess of gambling. Mother Mary is the world's goddess of religion. Self-righteous human nature strives to will its own salvation by its own imaginations and doings. Human nature refuses to face the three FACTS: The WORDS of God, The BLOOD of God, and the SPIRIT of God. The lost man who trusts in his own righteousness completely or partly will wind up perishing eternally in his vain boastings and evil doings. You're too proud to be saved by Divine Charity; to come to Christ as a sinner, and only Trust HIM to spare your Soul, to have done with saving yourself, and let JESUS do it ALL. Not in yourself whatsoever, but in JESUS is All your HELP found. 

Christ Jesus does not seek for any qualification, morality, or righteousness in you, for you have none. You may be good, moral, generous, honest in your own eyes; there may be a few good traits about your character that render you 'good' to your relatives and friends, but by Nature, but in God's sight, you're not one bit better than the vilest of the vile. Only the LORD JESUS CHRIST can Rescue your Soul from such a terrible doom that now awaits you out in Eternity. You should be trembling at the evil of your sins, and the goodness of God towards you up to this very moment. 

Lost, ruined, helpless sinner, exposed to God's wrath right now - Find SHELTER in Christ at once. Trusting in GOD'S BLOOD that flowed from Christ's veins, without anything else, freely justifies the guilty Soul. But human nature says: "I've always gone to church on Easter and Christmas; I don't owe anyone anything; I pay my bills; I am moral and upright in my community; I have observed all the sacraments; I only eat fish on Fridays; I fast during Lent; I give to charities; I do the best I can." The damnation of the openly ungodly is very sure, but so is yours, if your prefer your own righteousness over the Righteousness of God, Who is JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS. You WILL NOT take God's free Salvation by Faith in GOD'S BLOOD, so you will surely perish in willful PRIDE. Human merit and Christ's MERIT: the two can never be mixed together. 

Your poor soul is suffering now under the disease and curse of SIN; you desperately need the Divine Aid of the Great Physician from above. Most of All, You need GRACE, FAITH, and BLOOD directly from GOD. Confess your guilt to God; humble yourself before JESUS CHRIST; Fear God and His Divine Justice; Appeal to God's Mercy through the Precious Blood of Emmanuel. The Gospel is very humbling, but it is Very Saving as well. The Gospel empties you, but JESUS fills you; The Gospel strips you, but JESUS clothes you. The Gospel reveals your filthiness, but JESUS cleanses you with HIS OWN BLOOD. 

FAITH sent from God above kills human PRIDE, but it heals the sin-sick Soul. If your Soul is ever Saved, you must be saved Freely, for the GIFT of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ THE LORD. You must be Saved by the Love and Blood of God, not by any of your own doings. Salvation is All of GRACE from first to last; JESUS loved, lived, bled, died, rose again from the dead, for your soul's Salvation. God's Salvation and Justification is All of Grace, and your Damnation and Condemnation is All of your Sins. Come to JESUS for Everything; HE is the WAY, the whole WAY, nothing but the WAY. JESUS is the FREE WAY, nothing to pay, nothing to do, All of Grace, the Gift of God for the ungodly. All for Nothing, or nothing at all. You're getting closer to Death and the Judgment by the minute. Are you Ready for your Doomsday?

The SAVIOR is God manifest in the flesh; He came down from Heaven and became a poor Jewish man for your sake; JESUS was virgin born, and at the last, He bore your Sins in His body on THE CROSS; He bore the full wrath of God in your place, He bled and died for you, He loved you to Death. Salvation is All of Rich Grace and Pure Free Mercy: Full Atonement by GOD'S BLOOD; Reconciliation through the Lamb of God's Substitutionary Sacrifice of Himself to put away your Sins; Free Redemption through the Innocent BLOOD of the Incarnate Creator. Simply trust in Christ Alone, and you shall be given instantaneous, perfect, free, everlasting Pardon and Peace with God. Salvation is The Free Gift from the Gracious God to undeserving sinners who Trust in JESUS' BLOOD alone. All freely given, real Pardon for real sins, Everlasting Life, you may have at once. The Gospel freely provides the full CHRIST to empty sinners, Present Pardon on Earth, and Eternal Glory in Heaven. Pardon is freely given only at JESUS' feet for the worst and vilest, and is being given out right now. The wisest thing you'll ever do is Willingly Yield your Soul and Sins up to JESUS; Submit to HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; Trustingly Receive JESUS deep inside you; then Do Right, for JESUS' SAKE.

THE REAL QUESTION

Out in Eternity, When the Judgment is Set, and the books are opened in the Day of Wrath and Revelation of the Righteous Judgment of God; When God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ; When every secret thing and idle word is brought into Judgment before God; When you stand all alone before your Holy Creator, and are summoned to give account of your entire thought life, and to receive the just recompense and due reward of your evil deeds; When you personally meet your MAKER face to face, and stand in shame and everlasting contempt before THE ALMIGHTY; Who will then Bear your guilt, Plead your Case before The Judge of all the Earth, and Answer to The Lord God Almighty for all your Sins: YOU, or THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?

*SOUND WORDS 9*

But Now Once in the end of the world, hath JESUS appeared to put away Sin by the Sacrifice of HIMSELF. He offered up Himself; He loved you, and gave Himself for you; Behold the LAMB OF GOD which taketh away the sin of the world. Now Be Wise: Trust in nothing, or no one, but JESUS CHRIST Now. The way of Salvation lies in simply looking to JESUS CHRIST. Come to JESUS and Live; if you stay away from Him, you will die in your sins and perish in perdition and suffer the wrath to come eternally. Only JESUS can free your captive Soul from the snares and power of Sin. The way of Salvation is simply this, Trust Christ, and you are Saved, right where you are, just as you are, Rely upon Him, never in yourself. With no other Dependence, Rest on HIM wholly Now. Human nature is very fond of Sin, and not willing to give it up, and so self-righteous that it doesn't think it needs to be saved from Sin's curse. There is a Hell in the world to come, and you will surely go there, if you are not Regenerated and Converted by the Holy Spirit inwardly. Ye Must Be Born Again of the Spirit inwardly, or there is no hope for you in the hereafter. Without the inward work of the Holy Spirit, no Soul can enter the KINGdom of God.

You don't have to do 39 things to be saved; Stop trying to get yourself ready for Christ, for that is the Law, and not the Gospel. The Gospel says, Trust JESUS CHRIST Now, Rely only on His Blood and Works. All of your works are dead and tainted with sin, and unable to justify you before your Holy Creator. Believe God's words, Believe that your Maker cannot lie, Trust only to His Son: Whosoever believeth on the Son of God hath Everlasting Life. Trust only in GOD's PRECIOUS BLOOD, that flowed from JESUS' wounds on THE CROSS, with all thine heart, at once. Cease from Sin and Self; Depend upon JESUS' sinless merits; Take Him at His word; Rest upon His Promise to give Eternal Life freely; Rely upon the Atoning Blood Sacrifice of Himself for you; Rest in His Perfect Righteousness. The Gospel in a Nutshell: Renounce your false righteousness, and Receive Christ's True RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Come to JESUS ASAP, and Receive Him inwardly by simple Faith in His Person and Blood. When you come to JESUS, you don't have to bring anything with you, except your Sins. Just come to THE CROSS, and Take Christ Freely. These five words are the death-knell of all self-salvation by human effort: YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN! Remember Now: It is not what you are, but it's Who Christ Jesus IS, and What He has DONE/FINISHED, that saves your sinful Soul. Never look at yourself, only and always LOOK to the Wounds and Blood of JESUS. There is Life Eternal only in GOD'S PRECIOUS BLOOD. (Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 1:19) Always remember, never forget: your best works are all dross and dung. None but JESUS Himself can save a lost sinner. May the Holy Spirit send the glorious Light of the Gospel into your benighted Soul, and make you truly aware of your dreadful state. If you want to truly despair, just look within the darkness of yourself, but if you want Hope, Look to the Son of God Who laid down His life, so His ungodly enemies may not perish in their sins.

To BELIEVE is to TRUST. And what must you TRUST? You must trust that God is Holy and He must punish every Sin, so He sent JESUS to pay the awful Price for your sins against God. JESUS is God manifest in the flesh, that is, JEHOVAH became a poor Jewish man; He lived a sinless life and always pleased the Father, and then at the last, the Father laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all, JESUS suffered in the sinner's place bearing our sins in His own body on the TREE, and now whosoever believes in HIM shall be forgiven freely, because God the Father punished Christ instead of sinners at Calvary. THE LAMB OF GOD became Sin itself, He became a CURSE, He bore our sins and God's wrath, as He was bleeding and dying on THE CROSS for you. If you rebel and do not Receive Jesus Christ, you shall surely receive the due reward of your deeds?

Christ's Substitution was for you, and He will save you, if you just let Him. Yield to THE LAMB OF GOD, Submit to His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and it will be WELL with your Soul. To come to JESUS is the one and only way of Salvation. For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Who gave HIMSELF a RANSOM for ALL, that includes you. Coming to Christ means first to turn away and forsake all confidence in yourself and in others, and trusting alone in JESUS' FINISHED BLOOD ATONEMENT for human sins. 

Divorce yourself from the love of sin and self, and go to JESUS now. Come right away from trusting in yourself, utterly abhor all hope of Salvation from yourself. Come to JESUS with your mind, your will, your heart, and just Rest in Him, simply Depend upon what JESUS has done. JESUS saves all sinners from their eternal death penalty, that put their simple Trust on HIM. The one Needful thing is not your doings, but you coming to Christ personally, and trusting only to HIM, this must take the lead. Personally Look sincerely to JESUS by Faith until He enters your heart, and changes and cleanses you deep within. It is useless to attempt to help save yourself. Rest the whole weight of your Soul upon Christ; throw yourself completely on JESUS.  If you trust CHRIST, no eternal death penalty will fall on you. Your sin debt will be paid by Christ's Innocent Blood, and God cannot punish you, for God is Just and Righteous, and He cannot demand from you what JESUS has already endured on the Cross for your sake. 

Simple helpless Dependence upon God's dear Son. The way of Salvation is very plain, so easy, simple and clear, and very near at hand. Whosoever believes in JESUS is Justified from all things, by Faith in GOD's PRECIOUS BLOOD. Acquaint yourself with the Gospel, read the Scriptures, see who Christ IS, see what Christ has done for you. Come Personally to the LAMB OF GOD Who shed GOD'S OWN BLOOD to save your immortal Soul from the wrath to come. 

Trust only in the Crucified and Risen Creator. True Saving Faith is simply trusting and looking to Christ for Everything. Saving Faith is your Receiving Christ into your Emptiness. Come to JESUS and Receive Him Now, do not procrastinate, come to Him immediately, just where you are, just as you are. The whole Way of Salvation is to Trust only to GOD'S PRECIOUS BLOOD shed by the LAMB OF GOD, Christ Jesus Himself. That being done by you personally, you are Born Again and Safe Forever. But Now Once in the end of the world, hath JESUS appeared to put away Sin by the Sacrifice of HIMSELF. He offered up Himself; He loved you, and gave Himself for you; Behold the LAMB OF GOD which taketh away the sin of the world. 

*SOUNDS WORDS 8*

JEHOVAH JESUS is God manifest in the flesh; He shed GOD'S PRECIOUS BLOOD to make ATONEMENT for human sins. Christ's Atonement is the death-blow to all self-righteousness. Take a few moments, and listen with your whole heart to the GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD. You better get it RIGHT, here and Now, for Once your Soul enters ETERNITY unprepared/unforgiven, there's no coming back into TIME for your doomed Soul.

Human nature rises up and rebels against the restraints of the divine Law. BUT when the COMMANDMENT comes home to your Soul, by the working of the Holy Spirit, your Sins are revived, and sinful human nature is excited to rebellion, against the demands and strict boundaries of the divine Law. Even your filthy imaginations are sinful and condemn you in the sight of God. So evil is human nature, that is conceives at once the desire to commit an act, simply because it is forbidden. Human nature always desires what it may not have, longs to be able to do the forbidden. Human sin rebels against the holy, just, good Laws of the God of heaven. 

Your poor homeless Soul needs a SAFE dwelling place. There is only one Safe House for the Sinner who feels his inward Misery. Do you need a Homeless SHELTER for your Soul? (Psalm 61:3) The Rent there is Free; JESUS will love your Soul Freely; Without money and without price. Free Rent is something less than proud human nature is willing to accept. Salvation received from JESUS is without money and without price. Lost Human nature can't handle the TRUTH, and THE CROSS is grotesque and incomprehensible to the carnal mind, because deep down it loves darkness rather than THE LIGHT, Christ Jesus Himself. Human nature wants to help pay its own rent with its counterfeit pennies. Human nature loves to attempt to do something to rescue itself. You have magnified yourself against the Lord Jesus Christ by rejecting and neglecting HIM. You cannot have Shelter then, for it is only for Free, this Shelter is for those Souls that Have Nothing to Pay. And remember, there is no other Shelter in the entire universe where your Soul can dwell Safely Eternally. 

You must enter this Safe House freely for all Eternity with nothing to pay for it. Will you take JESUS and dwell in HIM freely throughout all Eternity? I beseech you, Please come inside where it is Safe from the storm of eternal death. This House is fully furnished from top to bottom with all your Soul may need or want: Christ Himself, Rest, Peace, Bread, Cleansing, Gold, Brotherly Love. The Key to this House is Faith in God's Blood. There is a Heavenly Garment of RIGHTEOUSNESS inside to cover your naked Soul. Even though you are Guilty and Condemned, JESUS will make you fully accepted to dwell inside. You are absolutely no good, but JESUS can make you GOOD, wash you, clothe you, adopt you, redeem you, for JESUS' SAKE. 

Rest your everlasting hope upon the bloody death and resurrection of the Son of God from the dead. Believe in thine heart that Jesus Christ bled, died, and rose again from the dead for you. Place your entire Dependence upon the merit of His Blood certified by the fact of His raising from the dead. Dependence upon Christ alone is your only escape from Hell. Make your Soul's resting place the person of Christ Jesus. Run for Cover; Come to Jesus and Receive Him into thine heart. My only Dependence is upon Almighty God Incarnate, Jesus Christ; By Whom all things were created, and by Whom all things consist. 

Lay down your self-righteous weapons; Lean very hard with all the weight of your Soul and Sins. Have much Dependence upon God manifest in the flesh, Receive Him personally deep into your being, and ask Him to Regenerate/Convert you inwardly. Resting on JESUS' ATONEMENT alone, Depending on His living Person wholly. Trust JESUS implicitly and sincerely, Receive Him Now, and you are Reconciled to God by His Precious Blood at once. Yield to the Gospel of Christ, Believe, that is, TRUST on the shed blood of the Man who died on the Cross of Calvary to make Atonement for your sins, and now He ever liveth to make intercession. 

Down with human religion and rituals, down with your pretensions to good works which are only dross and dung. Away with your accursed and idolatrous dependence upon yourself. Christ has already finished Salvation's work. JESUS Finished Salvation altogether on THE CROSS (John 19:30).  Hold not up your filthy rags in competition with Christ's spotless RIGHTEOUSNESS. All by Himself, Christ has borne the Curse of your Sins for you; he doesn't need your help. Bring not your pitiful works, for your doings are riddled with filth. Be honest with yourself, you're no good: God knows who you really are inwardly and in private, when no one else was around watching. 

Never try to mingle your dead works and selfish efforts with God's Precious Blood. Lay down all that is your own, and come and take what is Christ's. Put away now everything that you have thought of being or doing. You can never win Acceptance with God by any of your doings. Come and Rest in Christ's Blood Atonement, and your Soul is saved/spared from the wrath to come, and all your sins are forgiven forever at once. The night cometh, so come to JESUS now, while there is still time. Stop putting JESUS off; your Sins must taken care of before your Soul enters Eternity, the world to come. As sure as Winter comes to the Earth, so Death will come to you, be wise, come before Winter. There are no acts or maneuvers of yours by which Death can be deferred or prevented, or by which Judgment can be postponed or altogether adjourned. 

Don't think in your vain mind that all men are mortal, but yourself. Very soon, your eyes will grow dim, your ears will become dull, your limbs will grow old and stiff, your pulse will become unstable, and your brain feeble, and at the last, your corpse shall stop breathing, blinking, and beating. Think yourself nothing, because you are nothing, you only live day by day by God's Help. Come to JESUS as a sinner, so vile and full of Sins. Christ died for Sinners, I am a Sinner, LORD JESUS, please sprinkle my Precious Blood on my filthy Soul, I am Vile, please wash me throughly from my Sins, all I want is you JESUS, please rule over me and give me your PEACE. The worse you are the better: only go directly to JESUS as a poor, naked, filthy, bankrupt, wretched, empty, vile, guilty, lost, dead Sinner. There is nothing required in you to come to JESUS, except your desperate need of the Savior. The Gospel is only for those sinners who realize there need of the Savior. Reject your sinful self, and Receive Christ into thine heart Now. 

All sinners should be onboard; this is the final boarding call for all sinners departing on Flight 777 to New Jerusalem. All remaining sinners should proceed immediately to the strait Gate; the Door will be closing shortly.

After you have personally received Christ in your own heart; then come forth publicly, confess your full Trust in JESUS' Blood Atonement, be baptized publicly to thank JESUS out of loving gratitude to Him, acknowledge and yield yourself to be JESUS' servant and disciple. 

THE POPESTER 11

Leo the Popester has recently devoted considerable attention to  Artificial Intelligence (AI): human dignity, building a more human society, and the common good, but he never utters a syllable about the Gospel of Christ, that is, Simple Faith in Emmanuel's Atonement. The Pope prays to the virgin mary goddess, and he actually asks her to pray for him: "holy virgin of virgins, mother of the savior, pray for us." Look at him (in photo above) bowing to a graven image of the mary goddess. 

O what a hopeless soul the Pope is. Catholicism is nothing more than vain human religion and a delusional hope. The Pope has also been preaching against the Iran War, and is helping out the IRGC, pleading for a cease fire, which would only allow the Ayatollah's forces to regroup and fight on longer, and potentially develop a nuclear weapon and destroy Israel. If the Iranians ever launch a missile at the Vatican, you better believe the Popester would believe in waging war then. Never trust the Pope a second with your Soul or with war and diplomacy, that would be like trusting a Clown with your festering Stage 4 Cancer. The Pope's core mission in this life is to manipulate, intimidate, and dominate as many minds and souls as he can with his religious spells and potions. If you have only been religionized by man, and not Regenerated by the ETERNAL SPIRIT, you will wind up in the Lake of Fire.

The Pope is a Fool of the worst order. The very essence of Catholicism/Popery is salvation by works and ceremonies. Marian apparitions at Lourdes, Fatima, Medjugdorje, Knock, Kibeho, Akita, Banneux, and Beauraing are what the Pope's religionites believe in: reported supernatural appearances of the virgin mary goddess, and external manifestations accompanied by divine messages from mary herself. These apparitions are a source of comfort, guidance, and inspiration for many catholic dupes. Give up these delusive dreams and mere speculations of a deluded religious brain's ignorance. If you pray or worship mary, your heart is very dark, and your brain is broke. The Pope's grand marian processions glorify the vile queen of heaven; with the priests in their resplendent robes, the beadles in their vestments, carrying huge candles; the burning of candles typify the consumption of their sins and the illumination of their souls; but they still walk on in pitch black darkness of lost human nature. 

You can go to church, attend gorgeous ceremonies, do your good deeds, give to the poor, and receive all the unholy sacraments from priestly hands: don't be deceived, this is just another way to Hell. The Pope is deluding and ruining souls day by day. All your hopes of self-salvation are very vain. The catholic has an unshakable believe in the Pope's many falsehoods. The catholic mass is a self-pleasing fiction of your vain imaginations. The eucharist is thoroughly damnable delusion straight out of hell. The Pope is strangely deluded indeed, leading poor Catholics into deeper delusion, spiritual sleep-walkers, the religious walking dead. A somnambulist is a person that sleepwalks and performs other actions while asleep - this fits the catholic perfectly. Catholicism is like spiritual morphine, takes the feeling of Sin, but the Sin Cancer is still eating at your dead soul. Dizzy addled brains follow after the Pope right off into the lake of fire. The catholic priest is a raving lunatic, driveling idiot, talking his Latin nonsense at the mass. Every Catholic church is a lunatic asylum. Catholicism is the utterances of a raving religious maniac called the Pope. 

Human nature must play a part in its own salvation. The most monstrous thing on Earth is religious human nature. The Pope, the vile old hypocrite, with his hellish grin wants you to use his sacraments as part-saviors, and he leads you to rest on them. The Pope hides and mars the GOSPEL by his devilish inventions of falsehood and avoids the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The eucharist is the craftiest diabolical invention of Satan. Romanist prayers, formal ceremonies, fake confessions. The Pope teaches you to trust many things: trust partly in Christ, partly in mary, partly in your doings, partly in ceremonies, experiences, feelings. The Pope leads you to treacherously trust in his ceremonial righteousness. Papal salvation is by human works, sacraments, and outward ceremonies. 

Roman Catholicism can only offer your Soul an incomplete form of Salvation; everyone has to go Purgatory and pay for their sins, no matter how good you obey the Popester. The Pope's trivial formalities, paltry superstitions, outward forms is the silliest conceit and emptiest quackery known to man. As long as you are trusting one iota in your works and ceremonies, your unforgiven Soul is in the utmost peril. Religious formalists delight in empty ceremonies. No degree of divine Grace is attached to any religious ceremony. You can be a reputable member of society, and still be a good-for-nothing rascal in secret, inwardly you are filthy indeed. If you trust partly in Christ, partly in Mary, partly in your good deeds, you are only building a house of cards on shifting sand; the tempest of death will blow it all down. Clear away the Popish rubbish, the religious clutter, the ceremonial debris; Replace it all with Simple Living Faith in Christ Jesus Himself. Superstitious catholic priests are the worst human beings of all, for they play with people's consciences, buying and selling indulgences, and conceal the key of knowledge from lost Souls. 

The most subtle evil Pope preys on the ignorant sinner which trifles with religious nonsense, and neglects Eternal certainties. The craftiest inventions of the devil is praying to mary and purgatory. The Pope is the archenemy of lost souls and the greatest vile deceiver. Superficial surface religion is all catholicism to its bone marrow. Your Soul can never by saved by a proxy; you must go Straight to JESUS Himself for Mercy. Human nature loves the painted pageantry, mere outward show, mere shell without the kernel, the outward ceremony without the heart. Your best works are vile weeds and stinking rubbish. If you trust at all in the Pope's unholy wafer, you must face a most dreadful doom out in Eternity. Secret mischief lurks within the devious Pope's dark Soul. The bloodthirsty catholic cardinal and greedy bishops are living corpses, full of dead men's bones, reeking with a noxious odor, the most corrupt and desperately abominable creatures in the sight of the Living God. 

All your best works piled up together are only a reeking obnoxious dunghill in the nostrils of God. Pope John Paul was the most abominable buffoon that has ever lived; his filthy heart shall be opened before the Son of God, and all of his life's hypocrisies laid bare before the all-seeing eyes of God. Pope Francis was an inhuman monster, religious oppressor of lost souls, and most outrageous religionist. Pope Francis exercised the most inhuman kind of deception, tricking lost souls with his empty religious spells. The Pope's gorgeous vestments have an attractive appearance that disguises his inward evil nature. 

If you take your religion second-hand from a priest, in the world to come, you shall everlastingly regret this eternal error, and no hope in fixing it. When you enter Eternity as an unforgiven Soul, your Soul will be everlastingly fixed in a damnable state. Take nothing second-hand from a priest, or any so-called clergy; Go Straightaway to JESUS. The Pope says, "you must go and perform good works, penance, indulgences, and I will give you my absolution." The Pope says, "you must bake and swelter a while in the fires of purgatory, and you may get out one century, if you're lucky, and your family pays the holy church enough money to say requiem masses for you, but your family must first 'ante up' to the most wonderful virgin mary." Never forget this truth: The essence of Popery is trusting with all your might in catholic superstitious religious ceremonies. But the more zeal you have for ceremonies, the more lost you are in the darkness. The Pope and the Ayatollah are of the same kith and kin; they want your money and worship to the death. Nothing more blasphemous was ever printed than the Romish missal. The Pope is a devil dressed up in spotless white vestments. Only the Gospel and the ATONEMENT of the LORD'S Christ can deliver your poor Soul from the cruel slavery and accursed bondage of the maniacal Popester. 

The Infallible Head of the CHURCH is Christ Jesus, not the highly blasphemous Popester. The Pope is religious heath who bows down before religious idols, prostrating himself before catholic relics and images, lording over the lost souls of deluded barbarians. It is a very high offense to eat any meat on Good Friday, and very necessary to keep Lent with the most strict punctilious observance, but you can get drunk out of your mind the day after. You must diligently observe the sacred rite of crossing your forehead with holy water, but you have evil imaginations on your way home from church. 

The Pope says, "you must help carry yourself to heaven by your own efforts." The more exacting and strict a religion gets, the better human nature likes it, and the stronger the carnal mind clings to it. The more religion ties you up and binds you, the better the carnal mind follows after it, just as long as it does not touch the heart, and demand that I forsake my sins." All of these complicated religious activities pleases human nature, but just to believe on Christ and live eternally, that is too simple, too humbling. The Gospel says, "Trust alone in Christ, cast away your self-righteousness," so human nature says, "Away with the Gospel of Christ." Human nature will turn to and believe anything rather to Christ Himself. Human nature always loves a religion of ceremonies that does not require the forsaking of your self-righteousness, or giving up your favorite secret sins. "Ye must be born again" is never palatable to self-righteous human nature's taste. Human nature doesn't mind what you tell it to DO, as long as you do not tell it to REPENT TOWARD GOD, TURN TO CHRIST HIMSELF, GIVE UP YOUR SINS, FORSAKE YOUR SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, BELIEVE ON/RECEIVE CHRIST ONLY BY FAITH IN HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD.

The great need of lost mankind is not merely the Pope's ethical guidance, technological oversight, or social reform, but reconciliation with God through the Precious Blood Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. The message that sinners are justified by Grace through Faith in the Blood of Emmanuel ought to stand at the forefront of the sinner's mind.

The practice of invoking Mary and the saints in prayer is insanely superstitious. When Catholics ask Mary to pray for them, this is as a departure from the simplicity of direct access to God through Jesus Christ. Scripture states Christ is the one Mediator between God and men, and therefore all prayer should be directed to God through JESUS alone.

The Catholic religious system places undue emphasis on sacraments, ceremonies, traditions, and ecclesiastical authority. While Catholics affirm the importance of God's grace, in word only, but they are led by the Popester to place their mixed confidence in religious observances, rather than solely in the finished ATONEMENT/RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ. Rather than looking to private revelations and visions of mary, or extraordinary experiences, sinners should ground their Faith in the Scriptures (thus saith the LORD) and in the Gospel of Christ.

No religious ceremony, sacrament, pilgrimage, confession, indulgence, or outward act can contribute to a sinner's justification before God. Salvation is found in CHRIST JESUS alone. Any system like Catholicism that encourages trust in human effort, religious performance, or ceremonial observance obscures the simplicity and sufficiency of the Gospel.

The great danger of human nature is its tendency to trust in visible forms of religion rather than in the Invisible Creator and Christ Himself, Who lives forever more at the right hand of God to make intercession for us. Lost religionists are drawn to impressive ceremonies, sacred traditions, and religious pageantry, yet the heart remains unchanged/unconverted by the Regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel calls men and women not to trust in themselves, their works, or their religious institutions, but to Repent toward God, Come to Christ by Faith/Looking to Him, and Rest Entirely upon Jesus Christ and His finished Atoning work on Calvary's CROSS.

Never trust in the Pope's outward forms and empty ceremonies. Leave off trusting to any ceremonies, forms, works, and Simply rely on and receive JESUS in thine heart, and your Soul is eternally and instantly saved from Hell. Human nature loves to trust in a respectable profession of religion. Outward observances of religion will not help your Soul in the last great day of Judgment. All your righteousness is a lie, and your best performances are only dung. All the performances of religious rituals will never affect your ETERNAL Salvation. The mixing of your works with Christ's Finished RIGHTEOUSNESS reveals your utter ignorance. The Pope leads you to think vastly more of mary than the LORD JESUS CHRIST, GOD INCARNATE HIMSELF. 

God be Merciful to me a sinner, for Jesus' sake. Lord Jesus, I am sinner, and You died for sinners, so You died for me; I believe on You completely; I trust now on your Suffering, Bleeding ATONEMENT to pay for all my sins; I receive You into my heart. I believe in my heart, that God raised You from the dead, and You're Alive Now and able to save me to the uttermost I give up trusting in myself, and I forsake my righteousness, and Now from my heart I trust on You, and receive your Righteousness. JESUS, I Look only to You Now to Regenerate me inwardly by your Saving Power; Please create in me a clean heart with your own your Precious Blood.  

*EMULATIONS*

Emulation is one of the works of the flesh (evil human nature) listed in Galatians 5:20. Envying a loud round of applause that someone else is getting; a strange pride of keeping my religious convictions better than others, and my self-discipline gives me a greater acceptance with God than those around me; Desire and determination to outdo your rival; bitter animosity and resentment toward those that outshine you; Your carnal mind is enmity AGAINST God and the people around you; Jealous competition and selfish rivalries; Envying, strife, divisions; Striving to do more than others for vain honor and grasping for promotion, money, title, mammon; Fear of insignificance; Desire to the best, the smartest, the most recognized person in the room; Desire to look important, and to want the best seat at the table in order to feel superior; Vain glory, envying, and provoking one another; Seek the public praise and attention of men; A twisted satisfaction of feeling superior to others; To feel bitter when someone tells you about the success of someone you don't like; Envying, strife, every evil work; The way of Cain; Exhaust yourself to appear more righteous than others; To feel a secret pride and superiority over others religiously; LOOK AT ME; Saying or doing things to attract attention to yourself; To pick at flaws in others and criticize them when you feel unnoticed; A desire to outwardly appear righteous unto men; Constantly comparing and constantly measuring and envying others; Seek to gain human applause and please human opinion and carnal prejudice; Vain glory in your own accomplishments; Love the praise of man, and not the praise of God; Zealous rivalry; Resentment of other's successes; Envious desire to outdo or replace another person; Outdo others out of selfish pride; Try to surpass others professionally or religiously; Desire to feel superior to others; Envious competition; Look at what I've accomplished; Striving for superiority fueled by envy; Self-destructive ambition; Deep bitter envying.

THE PRIDE OF LIFE

THE PRIDE OF LIFE (1 JOHN 2:16)

Arrogancy (pride in action, out in the open); Tendency to boast about one's self; propensity to show off and draw attention to yourself; To forget God and never acknowledge Him for any of your talents, abilities, or accomplishments; Selfishly compete for the top and the limelight; Strive for social standing and worldly reputation; Look at what I've accomplished; Look at who I am; Look at what I have; Look where I live; Look at what I wear; Look at what I drive; Look at ME; Self-exaltation; To have a very high opinion of yourself; To place trust in one's own ability and wealth, and not God; Carnal desire to impress others; Self-sufficiency and vain glory that excludes God; My own accomplishments come from my own wisdom and strength; Desire approbation, respect, esteem from worldly companions/peers; To seek a name for yourself through worldly status and influence; Boasting of one's status, possessions, achievements, or worldly success, rather than giving God the glory and depending on God. To seek high titles and position; Selfish sumptuous living; Luxurious pompous manner; Costly apparel; To seek position and power over others; Fine seats, Stately buildings; To want your name up in lights; Vain mind craves money, possessions, grandeur, influence, pomp, vain-glorious Life; Grasping after worldly honor and this world's applause and approval. The ear that loves to be flattered with admiration and praise of men; To secretly desire the seat at the head of the table and the corner office. The carnal mind wants itself to be immortalized. 

HE must increase, 

but I must decrease.

Take heed, 

and beware of covetousness: 

for a man’s life consisteth not

 in the abundance of the things 

which he possesseth.

JESUS made Himself of no reputation.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; 

let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: 

for the LORD is a God of knowledge, 

and by HIM actions are weighed.

*SOUND WORDS 7*

EMMANUEL'S ATONEMENT is the only Key of Knowledge (Luke 11:52), that opens the DOOR to the KINGdom of God to you. Christ Jesus, The SURETY, smarted and suffered for my offences against God and His Law. Surrender your Soul fully unto JESUS, and be at REST, Submit to His Righteousness, and be at PEACE with God. Think only of JESUS for a few minutes now. Look into the dear face of JESUS Who died for your sins, and read your free pardon in the wounds and scars that He bears. The Root of the Gospel is in the BLOOD OF THE CROSS, Simple Faith in the LAMB OF GOD Himself is the Gospel Way, for By His Own BLOOD He entered Once into the holy place, having obtained Eternal Redemption for us. 

Away with every religious counterfeit and crafty sham, that man has dreamed up out of his vile imaginations. The Faith that lives on JESUS only, that builds on JESUS wholly. Cease to try to save yourself, and yield your sinful Soul up to be saved and spared by JESUS only, and be ransomed, here and now. Hang all your hopes for time and Eternity on the Nail in the Sure Place, Christ Jesus Himself. Only JESUS can speak Peace and Pardon to your guilty Soul. Deceitful human nature wants peace of mind without having Peace with God only give through the Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus. JESUS offered up Himself on the CROSS; He loved me and washed me from my Sins in HIS OWN BLOOD.

Cling to JESUS NOW as a sinner in dire need of Forgiveness and Mercy; Cleave to the CROSS and your Sins will fall away. May all your Trust be stayed on JESUS. Put simple trust in JESUS only, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS will be yours, transferred to your account freely. I am sinner indeed, Jesus came to save sinners, I trust in HIM, He is my only HOPE, I cast away all others, I rely on the Person of the LAMB OF GOD only. Your better living in the future can never help blot out your past sins. The spotless eternal Righteousness of Christ must be all your Confidence and Trust. Rely on Christ only, and you can never perish. But if you rely on anything with JESUS, you are surely doomed and damned as if you were depending upon your blackest sins. My heart confides only in JESUS. I have forever committed the Safety of my Soul to HIM; JESUS is my only Shelter and Foundation. There is no way of God's Acceptance of you but through JESUS, and through JESUS only. 

Christ's ATONEMENT alone turns away the Wrath of God from your sinful Soul. Christ does it All, entirely and alone, and no man is His helper. JESUS asks you to do nothing, for He needs no merits of yours. If you try to help out Christ, you will be Lost forever. If you let Christ be All your Salvation, you are Saved. JESUS will never be a part-Savior. You will never patch your ragged, filthy rags to His spotless Robe of Righteousness. The death-blow to all man-made religion, legalism, and carnal merit: JESUS ONLY - IT IS FINISHED - YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN. 

When it comes to Salvation, JESUS needs no helper, especially someone as sinful as you. JESUS saves to the uttermost and calls sinners to Repentance. May your Faith and Trust be fixed on JESUS only. My sins are all pardoned, my guilt is all gone, My soul is accepted through the Righteousness of Christ alone. Now Understand: The only thing that can damn a man is his own righteousness, and the only thing that can save a man is CHRIST"S RIGHTEOUSNESS.

If your heart is as black as night, and your Soul is filthy as a demon, Christ Jesus will be still ENOUGH for you, even you with all your Sins. JESUS will purge your Sins, clothe your Soul, make you Righteous, Freely Loved, and Fully Accepted in God's sight, and land you safely in Heaven. You deserve to die eternally in the lake of fire, but the only Hope of you escaping eternal death is in JESUS ONLY. Emmanuel is the only Substitute for sinners: He Loved you, and gave Himself for you on the CROSS. All of your best works piled up are all just a heap of dung, bunk, baloney, and hogwash. Sin is an evil in every man that makes him want to do wrong and rebel against the person and law of God. All sinners are self-righteous and think they are something special. You're up to no good every day you wake up. On your very best day, you are altogether vanity. Everything that man likes is either illegal, immoral, or fattening. Human nature is so perverse, that it loves darkness rather than JESUS CHRIST. 

There is not one bit of hope anywhere for you, but IN CHRIST. God has provided the Savior, You must provide the Sinner - that is the plain way of Salvation. The Gospel is not to trust Christ a little and Self a little, and hope for the best; The Gospel is not to rely on JESUS somewhat, and upon your works to some degree: Oh No, the Gospel is JESUS ONLY! You must get your Peace with God, only through the BLOOD OF GOD, by going straight to JESUS in Simple Faith, that is, Childlike Trust that depends on JESUS only. Never trust in any thing that comes from You, especially your doings, strivings, and feelings. Real Living Faith works by Love and Gratitude, and purifies the Soul through Grace. There is one DOOR, one WAY, one TRUTH, one LIFE, and His name is Christ Jesus. JESUS is the Sinner's only Savior and truest Friend. 

Go straight away to JESUS; Look to Him; Receive Him; Plead His Precious Blood only. Only The Blood of JESUS only can wash away, take away, put away the guiltiness and sinfulness that covers your helpless Soul; everything else will deceive you. Self-righteous human nature quarrels and cavils that the Gospel is too easy, and that Mercy is too free. Your dead works are all imperfect and full of selfish pride. Fix your Trust only and altogether on the Crucified and Risen Creator. Think much of the Precious Blood; Meditate on the Mediator; Accept the ATONEMENT; Receive JESUS at once. Self-righteous man is always doing his best to find a way to get deeper into his own darkness and damn his own soul. The Law can only condemn and curse your Soul more and more. Look out of your sinful self to the sinless LAMB OF GOD, and be Born Again from above by the Spirit of God today.

*SOUND WORDS 6*

Send the Light, the Blessed Gospel Light, let the Gospel Shine from shore to shore forever more. There are Souls to rescue; there are Souls to save. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Every one that is of the Truth hears JESUS' Voice. Salvation by Faith in Christ Himself, The Lamb of God who shed God's Atoning Blood for sinners. The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation, and the Gospel is your Soul's only Hope. By hearing the Truth of the Gospel, sinners are persuaded to believe on Christ as their ATONEMENT. Be Wise: It is high time for you to seek the Savior, Give your whole heart and soul to seek to know the way of Salvation. 

The way of Salvation enters the Soul first through the ear-gate, and then through the heart-gate. Simple Faith in God's Atoning Blood. Lost men love ceremonies, rituals, creeds, forms, all the falsehoods of religions are slippery ways in the darkness. Please don't commit moral and eternal suicide by rejecting Christ and slighting the Gospel. The old Bible Way of Salvation is to BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF, AND LIVE ETERNALLY. 

Turn ye, Turn ye, from your evil ways, why will ye die in your sins without Christ, Turn from your sinful ways to God and find free Salvation in Christ. Remember your sinful ways, and all your vain doings which no good, wherein ye have defiled yourself; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed against your Maker. Let JESUS give your soul and mind a Bath, you need your Soul and Brain washed throughly with the Atoning Blood of God manifest in the flesh. The Way of Salvation is by Trusting the Lord Jesus Christ, not in yourself at all. You must first Trust in JESUS, and then by His Grace, He will help you to overcome sin day by day. 

JESUS gives you a new nature within that loves HIM and Righteousness, and that hates your evil ways. If you're "too good" to trust Christ alone for all your Salvation, you shall Perish in your accursed self-righteousness. Believe and Live. The just shall Live by Faith. Filthy minds, vile imaginations, dirty heart needs God's Atoning Blood. You need a new heart through a new birth - Ye must be born again. It's not what you know, it's WHO you know. Do you know Eternal Life? Eternal Life is JESUS. 

God told you in the BIBLE to Receive His Son and Trust His Blood Atonement to put away your Sins forever. The sinner ceasing to trust in himself, and believing on JESUS CHRIST alone, this is the Gospel Way. Begin to think of God, yield to Him, give up your will to His Will, cry to God for Mercy, Trust His Dear Son. God be Merciful to me a Sinner, FOR JESUS' SAKE. 

Christ Jesus, The Son of the Living God, came down from heaven to do the Father's Will, The invisible Creator was incarnated in human form, Conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless Life of service, shame and suffering; and at the last the Son of Man became obedient unto death, even the death of the CROSS. In the garden of Gethsemane, he wrestled in prayer, and she great drops of blood, as He saw the coming terrors of becoming Sin and a Curse, and enduring the second death. To the CROSS, JESUS was nailed naked amidst shame, scorn, reproach, and scoffing. JESUS endured the CROSS, unspeakable pain, pangs of body and agony of Soul. He was nailed and hung there for your Sins, for your Soul, there in the thick darkness for three hours, and when he suffered it ALL, when the full Chastisement of my Sins had been laid upon Him, He cried with a loud voice, IT IS FINISHED! JESUS gave up the ghost, and then laid in a borrowed tomb, and three days later, He rose from the dead, as He said, and 40 days later, He ascended into heaved and sat down on the right hand of God victoriously. 

You could never be a good man, unless you trust and love the God-man, Christ Jesus. It must not be your way of being saved, but God's way. Human nature's way is try and live better. But God's Way of saving your Soul is for you to Trust Jesus Christ, and then He will lead you to live better for His name's sake, old things shall pass away, and all things shall become new, when Jesus has your Soul in His hands. Have done with yourself, and let JESUS do the whole work inside you, and He will save your Soul - that is God's Way of Salvation. The way of Salvation by Substitution - The Lamb of God took your place, so you could be Freely Saved by His Grace, Love and Blood. Only JESUS can Put Away your Sins from God's eyes forever. Only the BLOOD OF GOD can hide your Sins from the Wrath of God that you justly deserve.

God's only begotten Son, His well-beloved Son, Who is Himself God in human form, Who came down from heaven, and became a Jewish man, He lived upon this Earth a life of perfect sinless obedience to the Law and Will of God, He always did those things which pleased the Father, a life of holy service on behalf of sinful men. On the CROSS of Calvary, the Sins of the whole world were laid upon JESUS, and on the accursed Tree, JESUS endured the full Wrath and Vengeance the sinner ought to have suffered for his sins. God bruised Christ in the place of sinners. God was perfectly Just, for the enormous debt of guilt was demanded, and Christ Jesus all by Himself paid the Debt in Full; so now all who Trust in JESUS may rest assured that their Sins were laid upon Christ, put away by the Lamb of God, and completely blotted out that those Sins ceased to be. You are accounted Just and Righteous through Faith in JESUS, the Great Sin-Bearer, The Sinless Lamb of God. The LORD hath laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all. The Way of Eternal Safety is the Way of Substitution, the Way of Atonement, the Way of Precious Blood, the Way of THE CROSS, the Way of simply Trusting, Believing, with thine heart in Christ Jesus. Relying, Depending, Leaning, Resting on The Lamb of God, believing Him, taking Him at His word. God is now Just, and still the JUSTIFIER of the Sinner that believes in JESUS, simply accept Christ's Finished Blood Atonement. 

Look now to Christ, Take Him to be your Substitute, Trust your Soul in JESUS' pierced hands and be at Peace with God through the Blood of HIS CROSS. Your main business is come to JESUS, Your chief business is to Receive Christ as soon as possible, Take and Swallow down the Medicine, don't just look at it, don't just think about it, Receive the Soul's Divine Medicine, the Only Remedy for your deadly Sins spreading through your dead Soul. Cease to try to save yourself, and yield yourself to be saved by JESUS only, and you'll be saved, here and Now. Faith in the Atoning Blood of God is the only Way to New Jerusalem. The most immoral man, and the most moral woman must come to JESUS the same way - THROUGH HIS BLOOD. Trust the Full ATONEMENT that JESUS made All by Himself, the utmost RANSOM has been paid by the sinless SURETY. As a poor bankrupt sinner, you must accept a free gift through the Precious Blood and free Mercy of God whom you have wickedly offended. Escape for your life from the wrath to come, take JESUS' free pardon and forgiveness of Sins through the Great ATONEMENT finished by HIM on the CROSS. You have nothing else to trust to in this world, but the ATONING BLOOD OF GOD shed by the sinless LAMB OF GOD. SAVED FREELY BY GRACE AND THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE CRUCIFIED AND RISEN CREATOR!

*SOUND WORDS 5*

Please let me tell out the Gospel of Christ very plainly for you today. The divinely simple way of Salvation is this: You are a sinner, guilty and condemned already. Christ Jesus became a Jewish man; He took your sins upon Himself on the Cross; The LORD laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all; He suffered and died in your place. If you will Receive Him to stand in your place, you will be spared. Permit Christ Jesus by Faith to be your Substitute, and His suffering is put down instead of yours, and you will be accepted in the Beloved family of God, and saved in Christ. 

To hope to serve Christ, so as to win your salvation by your own efforts is a Fallacy, and a mere Delusion of man's vain imagination and self-righteous proud heart. Gratitude must be your only motive in serving Christ. Believe and Live, and then Do gratefully. There is no other way whereby you must be saved under heaven, but by coming to Christ as a Sinner and Receiving Him as your Atonement. Do whatever else you will, but you shall be disappointed and remain lost in your sins; it is only by personally coming to Christ that you can by any possibility have free Eternal Life given to you. 

To come to Christ means to leave all other confidences you may have. To come to anyone is to leave everybody else. To come to Christ is to leave everything else, every other hope, every other trust. Never trust your own doings or feelings, they will fail you every time. Never trust the merits of the virgin mary goddess either, for she has none. Trust to nothing and no one but the Lord Jesus Christ Himself; have done with anything else but *HIM*. Cast away every other reliance, and trust to Christ Crucified, Emmanuel's Atonement, for this is the only way Salvation. None other name (but JESUS) under heaven given among men where by we MUST be saved. 

Turn your heart's eyes to the Bleeding Lamb of God on the Tree. To come to JESUS means, in brief, Trusting HIM, Resting in His Righteousness. JESUS is the Savior, Saving Souls is His Business, come directly to Him, and trust Him to save you now. If you could save yourself, God would have not provided the Savior. Simply let JESUS do all the saving, and He will immediately and forever. Come and lay all your Sins and Needs at JESUS' feet. Simply trust Him to do all the saving for you. Tie up all your hopes and trusts into one bundle, and put your bundle upon Christ Jesus. The moment you let JESUS be all your Salvation, you shall surely be saved in the twinkling of an eye. 

Self-righteous religionists go about to try and invent their own salvation that makes its followers miserable and damns them in the end. There is but one DOOR, bow your head and enter. Take a faith-look at the Blood of Jesus streaming down His face from the crown of thorns. 

The Great Central Truth: All men have sinned against the Law of God, and are doomed to die under the Curse of the Law, but Christ Jesus bore your Sins and became a Curse for you on the CROSS. Faith in the Substitute - The Sinless Sacrifice of the Lamb of God.  Emmanuel's precious blood redeems sinners from eternal wrath and perdition. Faith in the Blood of Jesus results in you hating, detesting, and loathing your sins. Believe and Live. Trust the Great Sacrifice, Rely on the JESUS Crucified, and your Soul is  saved, saved for all Eternity. Have done with self, and by Faith lay hold on Christ Himself. Believe on His name, trust to His Atoning Sacrifice, this is the Way of Salvation. 

If you're hoping to save yourself in any way, or depending upon something that you've done, let it all go, and drop into Christ's everlasting Arms; that is the saving act - to let everything else go and trust alone to JESUS, depending upon Him who lived sinlessly, who became Sin and died as a Curse to save the Ungodly, and rose again from the dead on the third day, and He ever liveth to be the Savior of sinners who Trust in HIM. Be content with Christ alone, yield up your Soul and Sins to Him. Hear the Gospel, and your Soul shall Live. Take heed what ye hear, and take heed how ye hear. Think over the Way of Salvation: The Good News of the CROSS, the Bleeding Love of JESUS, the readiness of Christ to save your Soul. Believe in the Precious Blood that sets sinners free indeed. The only way of Salvation is through the Crucified and Risen Creator, by faith in HIM. Immortal Soul in Eternal Heaven or Everlasting Fire and Endless Torment. Find in Christ's Blood the power to forgive all your sins, the power to hate sin, the power to conquer sin. 

This is the Great Truth of the Gospel: The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses sinners from all sin. The way of Salvation is to trust the Lord Jesus Christ, and not yourself. Human nature's way is to do, and do, and do your best, and maybe you'll get to heaven; but God's way of Salvation is Done, Complete, all FINISHED by Christ Jesus. Rely by Faith upon the ATONEMENT which Christ accomplished by Himself on the CROSS. Stop going about to establish your own righteousness, and SUBMIT to Christ's Righteousness. God requires you to leave your righteousness, and trust His Son's RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

God has freely provided the way of Salvation through the ATONEMENT of His Son, Jesus Christ. God now bids you to trust only the ATONEMENT. Never think self-salvation will work: You cannot undo your own sins by your own doings. If your Soul needs forgiveness, trust the LORD'S CHRIST to take your guilt and sins away and save your Soul, right now. If you refuse to SUBMIT to Christ's Righteousness, you will surely perish. Confess to God your guilt and inability, seek God's Mercy, Receive free pardon through Christ's Precious Blood. Give up sinner: Only the Holy Spirit can change your heart deep within, renew your mind, and deliver you from the cords and bondage of your evil Sins. 

*SOUND WORDS 4*

The real reason you don't like the Bible is that BIBLE will not let you Sin against God with impunity. The way of Salvation in the BIBLE doesn't pander to human pride or flatter human intellect. You intentionally avoid God every day, and delight in sinning against Him, for this is your Sin nature inwardly that is at war with your Maker. God has plenty of evidence recorded to condemn you as a sinner; the books will be opened at the Judgment. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He pondereth all his goings. (Proverbs 5:21) The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3) God your Maker has been watching you all this time, up until this very moment. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc 12:14)

Seek ye first the KINGdom of God, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS. Thy Soul shall soon be required of thee. Awake from your Sin Coma, and First seek to have Christ Himself, and Receive His Righteousness. Never trust your doings or feelings, for all your righteousnesses are as dung and filthy rags. Repent toward God, Forsake your sickening Sins, Receive Christ Jesus, Believe the Gospel, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, follow after righteousness and purity, overcome Sin by the power of the Holy Ghost. If you do not trust in Christ, you must be lost forever. By Jesus' agony, bloody sweat, His cross and passion, by His most precious blood, death, burial, by His glorious resurrection from the dead, and ascension, intercession at the right hand of God, and His coming. I persuade and entreat you to trust the Son of God, who appeared on Earth in human flesh to put away human sin by the Sacrifice of Himself. By the work the Holy Spirit, God can regenerate and renew your heart and soul. 

Have mercy on your poor Soul, flee at once to JESUS, put your trust implicitly in HIM. Simple Faith in His Precious Blood and Person is the Gospel way. The sinless Blood of the Lamb of God is the only way of Salvation for guilty sinners. There is no forgiveness of sins without a Substitutional Blood Sacrifice (Atonement). The only way of Salvation is to Receive and Trust Christ, not yourself. Beware of yourself, your own righteousness can damn your Soul for all Eternity. Every offender of the Law of God needs the LAMB to make Atonement for his offenses, and in the offender's place the LAMB was slain. Christ Jesus took the sinner's place, nearing the sinner's sin in His own body on the Tree, suffering in the rebel's place, vindicating the infinite JUSTICE of God Almighty, so God can now be Just and the JUSTIFIER of the sinner that believes in JESUS. 

God sent JESUS to die for your transgressions against the LAW OF GOD. All Sins must be punished, and they were punished in Christ's atoning death on the CROSS. This is the only Hope of sinful men. This is the Gospel Way: You are spiritually connected to your wretchedness, you are a sinner indeed, you cannot argue that fact. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, especially you. If you trust in the divine Atoning Blood of God to take away your Sins, you are ransomed and rescued from Sin's slavery and damnation. The Gospel is the simplest thing to be understood, so Just to God, so Safe for sinners, Christ Jesus asks nothing of you, only that you ask Everything of Him. You are the Beggar, and He is the sole Provider of Salvation. You are in deep trouble, and He is the Deliverer. 

Simply trust JESUS, beg for Mercy from Him. The Glorious Atonement of Emmanuel (God with us) must save your Soul, or you will go to Hell when you die. This is the Gospel way: Grace, Faith, Blood, Atonement, Freely, Justified, Salvation. Come to JESUS now, Believe in JESUS alone at once, rely on the spotless merit of the Redeemer's Blood. Religion's false way of salvation by works is not good news: this is the damnable way of Cain, the natural man devising his own way to save himself, self-salvation is the damnable error of all the ages. Salvation by religious performances and meritorious deeds is nothing more than the way of Cain with a Christian name stuck on it. 

Salvation is only of the LORD'S Mercy. Men hate the doctrine of free Salvation, All the Gift of God, and not in the least of human merit. Take with you words, and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Against God Himself you have sinned, to Him you must make confession. You need God's anger and wrath to be turned away from your Soul, Seek then free Forgiveness from JESUS Himself. Your own merits only block the way of Salvation for you. You must be freely saved by Faith in JESUS Whom God has set forth to be the ATONEMENT for your Sins. You need the Love of God in Christ, You need the power of God, You must be Quickened inwardly into newness of life and made a new creature inwardly. You need God's Help always, You need Everything until you come to Christ, and Everything that your Soul needs you will find in JESUS, and in HIM alone. 

Within yourself, there is nothing you want. Look completely away from self once and for all. Look to the Crucified Creator Who is risen from dead, and He is Alive forever more. Salvation by the Faith of Christ, Justification by the Righteousness of Christ, Redemption by Faith in the Blood of Christ. Whosoever trust in Christ's Precious Blood is born again, you are a new creature and hath eternal life now. The Savior saves, JESUS is God's Salvation, Trust JESUS to save You, Trust grips HIM and holds HIM, if you take Christ to your own Savior, He is yours forever. Catch at JESUS like you would a life vest, like a lifeline thrown to a sinking, drowning man. Cling to JESUS. Whosoever believeth on JESUS hath everlasting life. Believe on Christ from thine own heart. Believe in His sinless Life, Believe in Him being part of the eternal Godhead, believe on His Precious Blood cleansing you, believe on His Righteousness justifying you, believe on His eternal Life bringing life to your Soul. 

Just like your unrighteousness will condemn you before God; likewise, your own righteousness will eternally ruin and damn your Soul in hellfire as well. Never set your self-righteousness in the place of Salvation by Grace through Faith in JESUS CHRIST. Conscious of your own blindness, see the full evil of your sins, see the Grace and Love of Christ dying for your sins. Show your sightless eyes to the Savior, confess to HIM, that you need Him to give your Soul sight. Go straightway to the Savior, for only He gives Sight to the blinded Soul. God's Mercy is only for the unworthy, Put your Trust in JESUS now. 

*SOUND WORDS 3*

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners from the love of sin here in time and the burning hell out in Eternity. Wholehearted trust in Christ is the safe way to be spared from the wrath to come. Don't Yield to the spirit of this age, don't be conformed by the current of the times. Cheerfully yield yourself to JESUS' blood shed at the Cross. The act of faith is the heart's obedience to JESUS. Submit to Him by childlike Faith. JESUS met all the Law's holy demands at Calvary. He surrendered his spotless hands to be nailed for your evil doings, His feet were torn for your wanderings, His sinless heart was pierced by the spear for your lusts and lasciviousness. He endured the tempest of divine wrath and the second death for all your sins. JESUS left His throne on high to die for sinful men. 

God has loved you freely and will forgive you graciously for His Son's name sake. Come to JESUS by a simple trust and reliance upon Him - this the one sole way of Salvation. There is no security for your Soul but under the Precious Blood. A simple faith in the living Savior is the way of Salvation. Live on the free Gospel of Christ. Take the first step toward Christ now - Trust Him wholly and alone with your Soul and find Peace in HIM. The Holy Spirit will help you Believe right. Yield yourself to the Holy Spirit's gracious leading and direction. 

Think much of Christ's Person and Atoning Work for sinners; Trust to Him alone; Faith is not just believing a set of Bible facts; Faith is trusting to and receiving the living Person of Christ. God has set forth Christ to be the Propitiation for sins. JESUS is worth trusting, for the very moment you trust Him, your Soul is saved. There is LIFE in the look of Trust in the Lamb of God. Feed upon Christ, Receive Him, Trust Him, Live upon Him, the Bread of LIFE. It is a pitiful waste of time for you to neglect Christ. 

Faith in JESUS' Precious Blood to take away your sins is the way of Salvation. The ever-gracious Friend of sinners is ready to forgive your sins now. Let all your Soul's trust settle upon JESUS alone - then Live graciously, and Die calmly and safely. Faith is trusting to the Lamb of God that was slain for sinners. Believe in the faithful words for the good and gracious God and Savior. Turn from your evil ways, trust JESUS at once, find full and free Salvation in Him; He bled for you, trust Him with all thine heart. Trust in Jesus Christ, and your sins which are many shall be frankly forgiven you. Christ's Atonement saves the Soul from despair and the love of sin. If you reject the Atonement, you will perish in your sins. 

The Precious Blood disgusts the carnal mind. Substitution is soul, the life, and the essence of the Gospel. JESUS as the bleeding Lamb of God must be kept at the very forefront of lost men's minds. The center of Christianity is The Cross, God Incarnate's Precious Blood, and the root meaning of the Cross is Substitution. The all-important truth is that Jesus bled for guilty sinners. Trust now in JESUS' Blood in the most implicit manner. The Cross is the Pillar of my Confidence. Christ's atoning work for sinners is FINISHED. All sinners who shelter their Souls beneath the Blood of the Atonement are eternally safe and secure. You are not saved by human merit, but by divine Mercy; not human goodness, but free Grace; not human works, but Love and Blood. 

God came down to Earth in human form to seek and save sinners; But now once in the end of the world hath God appeared in human flesh to put away Sin by the Sacrifice of Himself. The way of Salvation is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, that is, by trusting His shed blood to save you from God's wrath on human sin. God commands you to believe in His Son, nothing you can do will ever please God so much as for you at once to believe in His dear Son, whom God hath set forth to be the ATONEMENT / PROPITIATION for human sin. The best work, the work most pleasing to God is that you believe on JESUS who He hath sent. End all of your lingerings, wanderings, ramblings, babblings, frettings, doubtings, guessing, coming and going - end them all by simply trusting JESUS, and your Salvation is complete, you are saved from eternal wrath and everlasting fire. If you are burdened with Sin, and trying to get rid of your guilt, come directly to Jesus Christ for immediate deliverance. The Good News: whosoever believeth in Christ Jesus hath everlasting life, and shall never come into condemnation and damnation.
