SALVATION (The Gospel of The Grace of God)
Facing the Reality of Sin and Self-Bankruptcy
Come up close, I want to ask you some important questions: Do you have any sins that you need God to put away forever? Are there any sins you've secretly committed that you don't want anyone to find out about?
Pride makes you stand up on your own dignity and think you must be somebody. But God will NOT deal with you as long as you think you are somebody! Good luck hasn't preserved you all these years; it has been The Good God. Yet you have despised Christ, neglected the Gospel with shameful ingratitude, spurned and resisted the Spirit of God, and forgotten God's daily mercies and provision. Think of God now, and turn to Him with sincere Repentance and Faith in the Son of God.
Honestly confess your helplessness without God. You are absolutely helpless and hopeless without Christ, for you can do nothing without JESUS. Your self-doing will be your undoing! Cease from self-salvation; yield and trust Christ alone. You cannot be saved by your efforts—when they are all heaped together, they are altogether worthless. You cannot be spared by your religiousness, for without Christ, it is all hypocrisy. God is no respecter of persons!
The only other way to heaven is to keep the Law of God perfectly, but you can't do that because you have sinned all through your life with impunity. Your future obedience cannot wipe out your past disobedience! Acknowledge your sin debt, confess your inability, and admit your absolute bankruptcy. Acknowledge that there is no hope for you but in God's Mercy.
If your heart is sighing on account of Sin, get to your knees and cry out to Christ! He will hear you. Make a full heart confession to Him. Tell God how you have sinned against Him, that you have neglected Christ and made light of the Gospel, and that you've tried to save yourself and failed miserably. Tell God what a wretch you are: guilty, fickle, proud, wanton, and selfish. Don't attempt to hide anything from God—He knows all things! Personally appeal to Christ, make full confession to Him, and tell God everything: the darkest secrets and the sins that you don't want anyone to know about. Tell God all about yourself—your guilt, fears, doubts, complaints, miseries, addictions, lusts, and secret iniquities.
Cry out from your heart: "LORD JESUS, please save me from my sins, or I perish!"
The Finished Work of the Cross and Immediate Salvation
I declare unto you Glad Tidings of Mercy through the Son of God, and free Pardon through His shed Precious Blood! Look Christ-ward Now—if you look any other way, all is darkness and delusion. Cry out to God for Mercy through GOD'S BLOOD that flowed from JESUS' Veins. There is only Hope for you at THE CROSS. God is ready to pardon you, for He has provided the Great, Perfect Atonement. God can now justly forgive your great offenses!
God became a Jewish man, and on THE CROSS He bore your sins in His own body. All the doing has been Finished on THE CROSS by JESUS Himself. Jesus did it ALL, long, long ago! Your sin is very great, but Christ is much greater. Christ died for your sins; take His Precious Blood for your Atonement! Rest in His Atonement, for the Precious Blood alone can cleanse your Soul from Sin.
Christ Jesus, whom God has set forth as The Propitiation for human sin, is the only Hope for your Soul. Lay hold on Christ by Faith in His BLOOD! Make God in Christ your sole Confidence. All Salvation comes through Faith in the Blood of The Lamb—Free Salvation by Faith in the Precious Blood of God manifest in the flesh. You can be Justified and Saved in an instant by the simple act of Faith! Come along to Christ now: lie down at JESUS' dear feet, and bless His name!
DISCIPLESHIP (The Walk of Absolute Surrender)
Walking in Holy Obedience and Fellowship
Keep Clear of Sin, just like you steer clear of mud puddles and oil stains when you're walking around each day! Serve God with all your heart with charity and purity. Desire the presence of God; His divine presence is an absolute necessity. Be very careful and circumspect in your daily walk. The sacred Dove will never come to a foul nest: there must be a purging and cleansing in your heart. You must eliminate strife and disputing with God and others.
Walk in conscientious obedience to God's words, clinging in total adherence to His truth—the whole counsel of God. Have a constant heart reliance upon God, and maintain a simple, childlike confidence in Him. Believe the Book of The LORD up to the hilt! Walk humbly with God, offer Him grateful praise, and give Him all the glory.
Practice perpetual watchfulness and persistent prayer at the Throne of Grace. Maintain an individual, personal fellowship with God: walk with God every day, all day!
