I am a sinner, but JESUS died for me. I am sinner saved by Precious Blood. Christ was made a Curse in my place when He bore my sins in His own body on the Cross. I am now safe and secure forever, really converted and regenerated by the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave me the hearing ear inwardly, retentive memory, quickened conscience for JESUS' sake. The Commandment is exceeding broad: no other gods before ME; mammon worship, self-worship, belly, business, family. Set up anything in the place of GOD; human honor, pleasures, drunkenness, lust, uncleanness. Taken the name of the LORD in vain; profanity, refuse to pay reverence and give glory to His name. Keep the Sabbath; forgotten God days without number. Honor father and mother; disobedient to their commands, kicked at their authority, striven with their rebuke and correction; dishonored and shamed them. Thou shalt not kill: angry with your neighbor, hate your brother. Thou shalt not commit adultery; lascivious thought, impure imagination, fornication. Thou shalt not steal; defraud not your employer, customer, or God. Thou shalt not covet: lust after money, position, miser's greed.
You have insulted your Maker to His face daily. You never have done the best you could. You haven't obeyed God from the heart since the first dawn of reason. You're never been Content, you always are coveting after something, and then something more, your hollow Soul craves for worldly things, vain amusements, and drugs of this world. Your immortal Soul can never be satisfied by temportal mortal toys and trinkets. Worldliness can never fill and satisfy your heart. Vain beauty and painted cheeks is a mere pretense. You wish to kill time because of your uneasiness within. You want to drink half the day, sleep the other half, and party the other part.
Some new pleasure, some new device or toy may give you a little temporary excitement and entertainment, but at the last, you still remain a hopeless empty wretch. Your soul has become jaded and degraded by the endless filth. Your uneasiness intensifies, magnified to the extreme, you walk through dry places, seeking rest, longing of peace of mind, but finding none, always thirsting, feeding upon the husks and the wind, hungering, longing, yearning, groaning, sighing, pining, growing more conscious of your endless misery, aware of your deep pollution, wandering in the pitch black darkness of sin, feeling your poverty, hunger cannot be stayed. May your uneasiness bring you to the feet of Christ Jesus.
Salvation by works is absolutely impossible for your guilty Soul. You continued not in all the things of the Law, not even some things. You have not shunned all vices, performed all virtues, attained a pure thought life, You've chosen the evil, and turned to the path that leads down to Hell. You've cursed God and Christ thousands of times a year with your foul mouth and vile heart. You're past feeling now, beyond hope, dull despair, the sure approach of damnation has come, and all your time now is past. The Bible cuts you to the heart and frightens you, and you have neglected and made light of the simple Gospel of Christ. You're struggling hard in your darkness, you have few more hours or days in which you may escape the damnation of hell. All of your vanity will soon be buried under six feet of dirt and dust. Your body is hasting to the cold grave, but your Soul will be dwelling in darkness, second Death, eternal despair. Beware of your own delusional state: May the Holy Spirit help you sense and feel the dismal forebodings of the judgment and wrath to come, But still you may say, I've been no worse that others," but God will deal with you securely and justly. Salvation must be between you and Christ only, not some priest, elder, imam, or any other religious proxy. The Law sees your overt acts, and covert acts: thoughts, imaginations, conception of sin, premeditation, and deeds all defile, degrade, and ruin the Soul. The very thought of foolishness is Sin. Cursed is every Soul that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the LAW to do them. Off with your mask, away with all your vain excuses; The Blood and Righteousness of Christ Jesus must cover your guilty Soul. You've fall into many temptations and snares, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which will drown your Soul in everlasting destruction and eternal perdition.
You scarcely give an ear to anything about God or Christ Jesus. Your ungodly unconverted Soul has at times had an uneasiness about death. The wrath of God abideth even on your Soul now, because you neglect/reject Christ Jesus. You have long resisted the Holy Spirit, and neglected to come to the Son of God, now you're so far gone, long gone from bad to worse, from sin to iniquity to transgression. In a few short days, months, or years, you must die. You must lie upon your personal, dreadful, real deathbed: they call your next of kin, and the doctor will say to you, "I have some bad news, there's no hope, time to say your prayers and goodbyes." It's all , the clock ticks, the day of mercy is gone, your family is weeping, the death rattle fills your throat, death is come up into your window, death-glazed eyes; no bragging, loud blasphemies, or proud boastings will come out of your mouth then.
There's absolutely Nothing but a grim outlook for you without Christ. You must face unspeakable horror soon, the grim Reality seizes up you at times, but you turn to the bottle to settle your nerves with intoxication, inebriation, delirium mingled with regret and remorse making your very existence intolerable, vexed with fears, most hideous state, and you feel like ending it all. ETERNITY awaits you, and No frauds, dreams, experiences, whims, or some old Popish fables will help your dead Soul, when your heart begins to flatline, and the candle of your Soul is ready to die out. No more jokes and jests about Christ, no more making fun of God and the Holy Bible, and making a mock at Sin. Dark gloom gathers around your dead spirit. You'll be tossing and turning, strengthless on your bed, begging for more morphine, your pulse will grow faint and begin to fail, a clammy death-sweat will beads on your brow, you will feel the last pinch, the dreary point of despair as you begin to expire your frail corpse being propped up on the bed, you are nearing the grave without hope. You experience a foretaste of Death Hell, and start to feel all the horrors of perdition which fall upon ungodly men, and begin to tremble like a lead in a hurricane, the thought of dying you cannot bear. You hate the mention of inevitable death; the fear of dying haunts you, for soon you will have to deal with the awful reality of death, sooner or later. You won't be crackking a joke about Hell then. You often try to cover up your dismay; you're afraid of not getting your bills paid, so you get to work; you're afraid of going to hell, so you get to church; you're afraid of dying, so you get to the doctor.
But your Soul will soon be launching out into Eternity forever with no hope of eternal salvation ever again, the thread of life will soon snap, and you'll go into the world to come. The wrath to come has finally arrived for you. Whither goest thou, sinner? Your spirit will be awakened from its sullen, stolid, stupid, insane, dead state. Your time is up sinner, the sand has run out, you face the dark monster, the shadow of death, all by yourself. Your body will die, but your Soul will not cease to exist, you will live on forever and ever. The Second Death is the Curse that falls on the Christless Soul. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after DEATH the JUDGMENT. You'll feel the sting of death when you enter the dreadful dominion of REALITY. It will be an awful thing for you to die without the Savior, and die unforgiven and unprepared to face the most frightful Curse and the Consuming Fire of God Almighty Himself. You must face the burning sentence of eternal wrath: Depart ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. The funeral dirge of a lost Soul is a hopeless miserable ceremony, but everyone gets drunk, so don't have to think about where the poor lost Soul actually went when he passed into ETERNITY.
Hearken to the Holy Spirit's promptings concerning Sin, Righteousness, and the Judgment to come, regard the Savior's words and calls. The barbarians laughed and mocked at Noah, until the flood came, took them all away, and destroyed them all. You need Christ's all-sufficient divine RIGHTEOUSNESS, because you can never be saved by your owns, utterly condemned by your own sins. You have merited damnation justly; be wise now, Give ear to the Gospel; May the Holy Spirit enable you to sense your sinful state, and feel the bitterness of your Sins, Hate your Sins, Sincerely Repent from the heart, Look to JESUS and live eternally, Call upon His Name, look no more to yourself or religion, Trust only in JESUS' Precious Blood Atonement to cleanse your Soul, and take away your Sins forever. God laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all; The Father cursed His dear Son to save guilty sinners. May the Holy Spirit make you Wise unto Salvation, and bring you into Christ, the knowledge of the Truth, the true Grace of God,
I am a self-condemned sinner, I deserve eternal damnation, I've tried to do and be better, but only grew worse. I slighted God's Grace and spurned His bleeding Love, I have despised Christ and His Gospel. I am wretch through and through. I have nothing to plead of myself. My only plea is Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; JESUS offered up Himself on the Cross for sinners. I am a sinner, so JESUS came to save me, I trust in HIM alone, He is my only Confidence and Rest, the sinner that comes to JESUS, He will in no wise cast out. I cast away all other empty trusts; I simply/sincerely trust (believe), and rely only on CHRIST JESUS Himself, for HE has FINISHED the Great Atonement for human sin.
