If you try to save yourself by any of your own doings, you will surely perish trying to do it (Romans 10:3). By nature, every sinner is helplessly guilty before God. The Glorious Gospel will either harden or soften your heart. If you yield to the Gospel, your heart will be softened to BELIEVE on Christ; but if you Reject the Gospel of Christ, your heart will be hardened even more and more. Your best performances will NEVER be accepted by God's divine Justice, and your most faithful service falls way short of the demands of the divine LAW. Eternal Life is ONLY found in the Sinless Blood Atonement of Christ Jesus Finished on the CROSS for you. Come Now as a guilty sinner to the Lamb of God and place your hand of Faith on HIM, and your sins/guilt will be transferred/charged to HIM, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS will be transferred/imputed to your undeserving Soul.
The Gospel of God flat out forbids any trust in your own doings: JESUS' Precious Blood purges you from dead works, and enables you to serve the living and true God in spirit and in truth. If you keep neglecting Christ, an imminent, tremendous DOOM awaits your poor sin-loving Soul. Your dead wicked works will only add to your guiltiness and multiply your damnation. Your Sins desperately need forgiving and cleansing by the LAMB OF GOD. You're a Sinner, and JESUS is the Only True Friend of Sinners, because He laid down His Life for your Sinful Soul.
Your dreadful position is simply this: You are a Sinner to the bone marrow, lost in darkness, guilty, self-condemned, self-ruined, filthy and vile, undone, hopelessly blinded by sins and Satan, a penniless beggar. You have a depraved heart, perverted affections, dead conscience, darkened understanding, and crooked will; the Spirit of God must move in your Soul, or you are forever doomed. Renounce your love for sin and come to Christ Now. Renounce all dependence in anything you can do: Never ever trust in a righteousness of your own making. Christ Jesus is very center of SALVATION with God the Father. God's tender Mercy is only found in the Precious Blood of JESUS. Without JESUS in your heart, you have nothing but Sin and Darkness inwardly.
You cannot help save yourself one iota. Do you feel your need of the Savior today? I sure hope so. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners: your immediate business and priority is to cast your guilty Soul on the Mercy of Christ Jesus, for He came to save YOU. JESUS' Precious Blood deserves your highest trust. Mere religious curiosity will damn your Soul. You must RECEIVE CHRIST inwardly by Precious Faith given to you from God. You must leave off/deny all your deadly doings altogether in order to be saved by the Free Grace and Bleeding Love of the Son of God.
Bible Salvation is simple and easy to understand: Believe ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and nothing else, that's not some deep mystery. Trust in JESUS only Now. The most deadly thing about you is your Self-Righteousness. Self-Righteousness is a deadly Cancer festering within you now. Simply trust JESUS' Precious Blood and your Soul shall be saved from the wrath to come, and you will never perish. There's nothing for you to do, but to Trust the Precious Blood Atonement of Christ Jesus, for He is God manifest in the flesh.
Lord God, have Mercy upon me, because JESUS bled and died for my sins on the Cross, and He rose from the dead to give me Eternal Life freely. Lord Jesus, I trust only You, for I have nothing else to trust to for my Salvation. Dear God, Please have Mercy on my Soul, I crave Precious Faith in Christ Jesus Himself, and your free Pardon and full Forgiveness of sins through the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God. Lord Jesus, From my heart, I rely only upon your RIGHTEOUSNESS, and nothing else.
