A Sinner Saved by Blood

If your your sins are ever to be put away, it must be by Blood, that is, God's Blood that flowed from The Lord Jesus Christ's veins on Calvary's tree. There is no way of putting sin from the sight of God except by His own Blood. Christ gave His human body and human soul up to death for your sake.  You can only be Saved by God's Blood through the rich and free grace of God. Trust only in the merit of Him who died for His enemies. Your soul must Redeemed by Blood and set free by the Spirit's power. Christ is the perfect Savior, and only He can perfectly save your soul. Christ paid the Ransom in full, there's nothing at all for you to pay. Christ has paid the full purchase price, completed eternal redemption by His blood, and finished the Perfect Atonement for human sin. Pardon by blood, salvation by grace, and regeneration by the work of the Spirit is the only way to New Jerusalem. Christ suffering for human sin, sin being put away by Blood - this is the Gospel, the essence of Mercy's message, the Good News from Heaven.

The atheist's private darling lust, which they love and will not give up, will inevitably doom their lost soul. Atheistic Christ rejectors don’t want anyone to know how they really live in private. But the eyes of the Lord and in every place beholding the evil and the good. Your most loved sin that gives you the greatest carnal pleasure must be given up and abandoned, or your soul will be damned. If you live in secret lust, your whole life is an awful lie, and empty vanity. Human pride is natural to you, and you cannot get rid of it by your efforts. Your god is your own belly, therefore you obey your carnal appetites. You are a servant of your own body and your baser passions, a slave to your own lusts, to your own selfish gains, and to your own sinful appetites and pleasures.

You greedily serve your sins every day. But you must renounce your dirty ways, old habits, and filthy iniquities. Christ offends atheists because His Gospel is intolerant of sin and the love of it. Only Christ can renew your vile nature; Only Christ can create within you a clean heart. Darling sins must be forsaken if Christ is to be enjoyed. Human nature feeds on the garbage of sin and drink from the ditch of iniquity. You have the nature of a vulture which loves the filthy dead things of self and this world; now understand - only Christ can give you a new divine naturewithin which will love to feast on the pure and wholesome things of God - His Son and Scriptures.

The main reason you continue to reject Christ is because you are clinging to some pet evil you cannot give up, which sin will be your everlasting ruin. The reason why the Bible and Jesus Christ troubles atheists is because they interfere with their sinning. The atheist says in his heart, "If I become a Christian, I cannot live as I have been accustomed to live, so I will not believe in Christ, I will reject the Gospel. Christ will cost me my sin and reputation, and I would rather keep on in my sin than give up my way." The true reason any many questions and rejects the Bible is an ungodly private life. If you probe to the bottom of the matter, some secret sinful pleasure is the reason for a man's unbelief or atheism.

This is the real reason for atheism: they cannot and will not give up their favorite sins. The atheist will not give up his sin, so he gets troubled when a Christian witnesses to him about the Gospel and Repentance and Faith in Christ. The atheist abhors moral purity. It is a terrible thing to cling to sin. Quit your sin, or quit all hope of eternal life. Will you have your sins and go to Hell, or will you leave your sins and go to Heaven? There is no other alternative. You must say, "NO LONGER!" You cannot have Christ and Sin - they are diametrically opposed. Your conscience will tell you what sin it is that keeps you from Christ. Resolve to quit loving your sin, and trust in the Savior. Drinking, lusts, prejudice, self-love, love of sinful pleasure, bad company, self-righteousness, gambling, pilfering - all these weighty anchors are stuck in the mud and must be pulled up before you can go to Christ. Your favorite lusts are keeping you from Christ. Self-sacrifice for others and moral purity is what the Gospel will put into your heart. Seeking to be pure and endeavoring to glorify the good and forgiving Savior. Sin is deadly and damnable, poisonous and perilous. You cannot control yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to take away your darling sin, and make it distasteful to you.

Christ wants to save you *from* your sins, not in them; it is essential to salvation that sin should be repented of, and being repented of, should be renounced, and that, by the help of God, we should lead a new life, under a new Master and Lord, serving Christ from a new heart and motive, because the grace and love of God has renewed our spirit. Atheists cannot hear the voice of God, because there is sin in the way, some pet sin, and they are not wise enough to realize what they hear and take heed to will either save them or damn them. Man's good works religions do nothing but muddy and confuse the Free Salvation which Christ offers to ungodly sinners. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved from the love and penalty of sin. You don't have to DO anything, Christ Jesus did it all long ago, all you have to do is fix your faith in His finished work alone.

The Gospel is a simple invitation to not do anything, but receive and rely on the Finished, Perfect Blood Atonement of Jesus Christ for human sin. Man's pride kicks at the simple Gospel, they think that are 'pretty good' and that their good works should count for something. You see, there's no free lunch, but Christ does offer bankrupt sinners Free Salvation. Salvation is free, but it's not cheap - your personal sin cost Jesus Christ His life and blood. Jesus Christ loved you to death, and He wants to redeem you sin's clutches by His Blood. The self-righteous are offended that nothing that they have done or ever will do will be acceptable to God to help save them. You can never be saved until you accept the facts that can you do nothing that can be acceptable to Christ, and that you are Nothing. You see, you're a sinner and nothing you do is acceptable to a holy God, because everything you do is tainted with your sin and selfishness. You must give up your deadly doings, surrender and submit, and stretch your sinful soul out on Jesus Christ and REST on His sinless blood and perfect righteousness and trust HIM to hold your defenseless soul up at death. There's only one right answer when it comes to getting rid of your sin and guilt - His NAME is Jesus Christ.

You have misspent your whole life, all because you love sin. Every day, you are venturing closer and closer toward eternal wrath. Be wise - Repent - turn from your love of sin - Part with your darling sins, and Put your trust in Christ, come under the shadow of the Cross where Jesus bled for you, lay down your love of sin there at the foot of the Cross, find a refuge from the vengeance of God. Believe in Jesus Christ, put your sinful soul into His hand. Jesus is the Sinner's Savior - He saved sinners by His blood - Prepare to meet your Maker - Make Jesus your only hope and trust. Trust Christ now and you are Accepted in the Beloved, called by Grace, preserved in Christ Jesus, Redeemed by Blood, Heaven Born, and Heaven Bound.

Don't Forget God

The practical atheist chooses to ignore his conscience with its moral warnings, he chooses to enjoy his sins, he gets rid of the true God, and chooses a god (himself) that is more conducive to his sin. The atheist says, "God, if you're out there, leave me alone." Sin enslaves every person who refuses to acknowledge his Maker. The atheist wants to be unrestrained in his evil, impenitent in his ungodliness, and uninhibited in his moral perversion. The Christ-less man refuses to thank God for anything. They would rather have their sins than the Savior.  Man gives up God, way before God gives up on man. Man chooses to ignore God, violates his conscience, and ruins himself in immorality. The atheist trifles with the truths of Scripture.  Death will soon hand you over to God, the Righteous Judge, for Judgment and Sentencing.  Don't forget God, or sin will devour you.

God withdraws from man's mind and life and lets his sin take its full course and consequences in his life.  The natural man is morally depraved, bent on evil, and destroys himself by loving his sin. The atheist insanely chases after the vanity of this world. Man chooses the current of sin, and the current takes him over the brink of the waterfall of wrath and eternal judgment. If you don't long after Christ, you will long after filth and immorality. Sin is fun and a thrill at the beginning, but at the last sin brings bondage, misery and wrath. Man tries to escape reality by entertainment, drugs, alcohol and vacation. Sin degrades every man. A man left to himself who lives the way he wants to live will soon be a slave to his favorite sins. You will learn the Truth of Sin and Hell either by listening and hearkening to Truth, or rejecting and experience absolute Truth in Eternity in the Lake of Fire.

The final result of sin is lost relationships, ill health, a defiled conscience, and inevitably, Hell Fire. Sin can never satisfy you; it only deceives and damns. You have been lulled into a sinful stupor. You are in desperate need of Intervention from the Great Mediator, the Lord Jesus Christ. Sin defrauds, deceives, and at the end destroys. You can't crush an eagle egg in America, but you can destroy a human baby in the womb. Infanticide is the result of a God denying, Bible avoiding, Christ rejecting society. Sin causes man to wander farther and farther from morality, and loses the standard of human dignity and the preciousness of human life. Abortion and euthanasia becomes morally acceptable when you have no conscience left. Sinful pleasure is hollow and will betray you. When you reject the grace of God and free salvation in Christ, you choose the slavery of your sins. Flee immorality, follow after purity. Moral purity is never a coincidence, you must choose to refuse and deny your selfish sinful ways. Sin only leads to a life of despair.

The Bible disturbs the atheist is his sinful slumber. The atheists devises theories and systems to distract them and keep them from hearing Truth. They don't want to believe in a personal living Righteous Creator God, because they want to live how they want to live in their sinfulness. If you reject Christ before you die, He will reject you after you die. Lost man's unsatisfied depraved nature continually seeks another thrill, another high, another partner, another toy. If you want God to leave you alone, He will.

The atheist swaps out the Truth for THE LIE - all truth is relative, you can enjoy your sin without facing Judgment, you won't ever die in your sins and pay for them. It is OK for you believe that you're right, but it's not OK for you to believe that I'm wrong. Doubt the genuineness and infallibility of Scripture. Question the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ - God manifest in the flesh. There is no such thing as virtue or vice, right or wrong. Anybody can be right. Salvation is universal - there are many paths to God, whatever you "think" is truth. There is no place of eternal Retribution beyond the grave. Reject God and you will have freedom. Judgment is non-existent. Sin doesn't damn anyone after death. Man evolved, and God is not involved. You are only a lucky accident.

Satan wants you to remain deluded and void of Saving Scriptural Truth. The atheist swaps out the truth for his own concocted vain speculations. If you reject the Creator, deny the Bible, reject the Christ the Savior, and reject the forgiveness of sins He offers, you are left in your sins to wander in darkness, you are burdened, miserable and enslaved. Choose yourself and your speculation, and you will become enslaved in your sins.

A new job, home, toy, partner will never satisfy the longing in your soul. The idols of wealth, health, physical pleasure, prestige, sports, education, money, sex, entertainment, success, power, position, attention, affluence, title, stuff, and status are only decoys to distract you from the Savior. An idol is anything that occupies your mind and heart with longing and replaces in that longing your desire for your Maker who died and rose from the dead for you. Atheism only leads to communism, crime, ungodliness, fear, loneliness, insanity, and eternal damnation. Run now for shelter under Calvary's Cross, the thunders of Judgment are booming in the distance, the Lightnings of God's judgment are flashing, the storm of God's wrath will soon pass over, and only the Cross and the Lamb of God can rescue you from the coming wrath on human sin.

The Angry Holy Judge

The world's system is constantly attempting to conceal Biblical truth - no 10 Commandments on the wall, no Bible in the schools, no mention of Jesus Christ in public prayers. The world says, "There's a Creator, but let's not acknowledge Him or mention Him at all." There is a Creator and a Designer. A building points to a builder, and the creation points to the Creator. The God of the Bible is not wanted today, because iniquity is abounding. Justice, holiness, and wrath have never been palatable truths. The atheist wants to silence the publishing of the Gospel Truth altogether.

Every man is without excuse today; he has the witness of the Creation without, and the witness of his Conscience within. Look all around, God's handiwork and fingerprints are found everywhere you look. God exists and everybody knows it, but they don't want to face it, and give Him glory. You have a sense of right and wrong - that's called your Conscience. Every time you lie, steal, lust, cheat, fornicate, or gossip, your Conscience whispers to you, "You just did something wrong." Moral evil always produces misery. Sin always complicates life. Ungodliness is rebellion and hatred toward God, and unrighteousness is rebellion and hatred toward your fellow man. Lack of respect toward God, always leads to lack of respect for other people. If you don't treat God right, you won't treat others right. If your spiritual relationship with God is wrong, your human relationships are wrong. Treat God right, and you'll treat others right.

It is common habit of human nature to deny and avoid the Truth. Atheism is a systematic denial of truth, an ongoing deliberate effort to coverup Biblical facts. They say, "Let's keep the Truth out of sight, ignore it, because we love our sin so." Every time you secretly sin, your conscience quietly whispers to you, "You're guilty."

The religions of this world are vain attempts to get around the true and living Holy God of the Bible - Jesus Christ. Man-made religions rebel against Biblical truth, and love to believe what they dream up. Man worships religion, not Jesus Christ. When Christ Jesus came into this world, He messed up man's religious systems, and they hated Him with a passion. Man despises morality, purity, and absolute Truth. Man knows there is a Creator intuitively, but continues to love his sin and darkens his understanding. Carnal man wants to silence the Truth. Man wants to be unaccountable and unlimited in his sins. A Creator makes man accountable for his sins. The universe was tailor made to support life. The evolutionist says that every man evolved from an animal. Evolution says, Man began as an animal, but now he wants to be his own god. The Bible says, Man was created in the image of God, and now he digresses and lives worse than an animal.

The atheist seeks to conceal and silence the Truth, ignore the Creator, and stifle his Conscience. Lost man worships the creation, not the Creator. The natural man hates God's Authority, that is, God's Words. Man doesn't want to have to answer to anyone for his sins. Human nature abhors accountability and limitations. Man rebels against God's holiness. Man hates God rule, because he wants to be unaccountable and unfettered in his sinning. Man hates God's holiness, because man is unholy. Every man is sinful and guilty and without excuse. Self-righteous man makes up excuses, so he can ignore and avoid Jesus Christ. Face it - The Creator will one day judge the sinner. By nature you have nothing to offer the Holy Angry Judge - you need the Crucified and Risen Mediator.

There's a God, and you're not Him.

There's a God, and you're going to face Him.

There's a God, He knows what you're doing.

There's a God, His name is Jesus Christ.

Trust *HIM*, not yourself.

Do-gooders go to Hell, and no-gooders go to Heaven.

Don't forget, you're not God.

There is a God of wrath who hates human sin. If you die a Christ rejector, you will face a furious God. If you are a Christ rejector, God is really mad at you right now (See John 3:36). Christ paid the penalty of hell on behalf of sinful humanity. The evil nature of man is unaccountable to Biblical direction. People want to behave any old way they want. But there is an eternal Reckoning coming (See Hebrews 9:27); an eternal Holy Judge exists and He will render a Judgment and a Verdict concerning your sinful life (See Revelation 20:11-15). Human nature wants to get rid of God as a Righteous Judge, then there will be no enforcer of sin, then there's no standard of Truth, then you can live whatever way you want, then there's no right and wrong, and whatever is truth for you is truth.

The atheist seeks to rid himself of any thought or mention of The Angry Holy Judge of human sin. The lost man says, "I want to live anyway I want to live. I don't want moral restraints put on me." The corrupt nature of man doesn't want to hear about the holy nature of God, because it wants to behave the way it wants to behave. But God loves holiness and hates sin. The vile nature of man doesn't want to hear of God at all, because it clings to sins.

The religion of the natural man is independent of Biblical truth. The religion of man wants to believe anything it wants to believe. Man loves to concoct religions, because man is a religious being. Man has to worship and adore something. Atheists decide there is no religion, and that becomes their religion, and they worship themselves. Human nature says, "I want to believe whatever I want to believe." Man's nature and man's beliefs naturally kicks at God's Holiness and rejects the truth of God's wrath and denies Christ's Gospel. Carnal man can tolerate just about anything but God's righteous standard of holiness - Jesus Christ Himself. The world's system wants to slowly remove the God of the Bible (The Lord Jesus Christ) from every part of civilization. The world's way is sexual perversion, abortion, safe sex, earth day, mother nature, self-help, and personal enlightenment. Today, we are to be tolerant of anything and anyone except God, that is, Jesus Christ, and His words. Sin is the very contradiction of God's holy character. God's holiness is an abiding hatred of sin. The atheist stubbornly digs in his heels against his Creator, and winds up in the Lake of Fire.

The wrath of God is an undeniable fact (John 3:36; Romans 5:9; I Thessalonians 1:10). Prepare to meet thy God - flee from the wrath to come - come to the Cross, look to the Lamb of God now. You are a sinner condemned to an eternal Lake of Fire, because of the Righteous penalty of God toward human sin, but if you will humbly and contritely come to Jesus Christ (God manifest in the flesh), He will freely pardon all of your sins through simple childlike faith in His precious blood that was shed to save the ungodly.

Creation is God's divine masterpiece which should cause men to seek out the Divine Artist. When we are young, we are love light and are afraid of the darkness, but as we get older, we begin to hate light and love the dark (John 3:19). The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The wise man fears God, the fool ignores and disregards God. The fear of the LORD is the great desire to love and please the God who loved us and gave Himself for us. Men rush into sin without any regard for the consequences. The reprobate lacks spiritual judgment and sound judgment. Every Christ rejector deserves the wrath of God. Atheists try to explain way the intricate design of the creation. Sinful humanity looks for some other answer or reason, something other than a personal living holy Creator God who bled and died for them. God exists and everyone knows it, they just deny it.

The unreached heathen know there is some kind of God or Deity. All the heathen have some kind of worship; they understand right and wrong, and when they sin, they know have done wrong. The heathen realize that all wrong must be punished, they are afraid of eternal retribution, they are afraid of dying, they know their sin must be atoned for, so they seek out ways of appeasing their deities or their deity. Mankind is incurably religious and rebellious. Every atheist is aware there is a God, but that awareness doesn't impact his actual thoughts, words, and deeds. The religious man knows all the facts about God, but he has no saving faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. The saved sinner possesses Truth, he receives Christ, and lives to please Jesus by obeying the Truths of Scripture. The atheist refuses to seek out God and to honor Him. The natural man refuses to give God the glory.

Ascribe to God glory by admitting your sinfulness, by acknowledging God's holiness, by confessing your inability to please God, by trusting Christ's Righteousness, by trusting God with your soul and actual daily life, by praising Him in word, deed, and in truth, by praying for His will to be done, by spreading God's words, by serving the body of Christ, by living a morally pure life, by winning souls to Christ, by bearing fruit in godly attitudes and actions. Christ is worthy of your service - give Him glory and gratitude. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Stop for a few minutes, and say thank you to God. The atheist is spiraling downward in his sinful darkness and confusion. Every man without Christ is confounded - he doesn't know what to believe; he is constantly speculating. When you do not give God glory, you will give some other person glory, no doubt. Atheists give darwin glory. Man naturally prefers to worship himself, rather than his Maker. Sin inevitably makes a moron out of every atheist that loves it. The only thing that will appease The Angry Holy Judge is simple childlike faith in His Son's Precious Blood (Romans 3:23-25).

Have Mercy

Hear me when I call, O God of my Righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me. Turn O Lord unto me, and have mercy upon me. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my Helper. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that He have mercy upon us. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Jesus said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. And the rich man in hell cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. And the lepers lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And blind Bartimaeus cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. But I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy Salvation.

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my Refuge. I intreated Thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to Thy word. Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as Thou usest to do unto those that love Thy name. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. God be merciful to me a sinner.

The Heavenly News

Every lost sinner is dead in his sins right now. A dead man has no appetite at all. You'll never see anyone trying to feed a dead man down at the funeral home. That's because corpses don't have an appetite. The natural man has an appetite for filth and self. An unregenerate sinner is dead in his sins, and he cannot feed upon the words of God or the living Savior. The New Birth (John 3:7) alone gives us eternal life and a new nature which has an appetite for Christ, His words, and His purity. If you're not Born Again, you'll go straight to Hell, just as quick as you die. The Bible says that lost people are dead in their sins (Ephesians 2:1). The lost man just drifts down the stream of sin because he's dead. Whatever the crowd says. A crow eats dead rotten things, but a dove never will. The crow and the dove have different appetites, just like the atheist and the Christian. Religous quackery can never solve one problem a lost sinner has.

Here's The Heavenly News, the Great Secret, the Glad Tidings from Calvary's Cross - The Gospel is the death of atheism and self-righteousness. We are Justified freely by God's Grace through simple Faith in Christ's Precious Blood. Christ died for sinners, you're a sinner, so Christ died for you. Salvation can never be of human merit, for there is no such thing. You don't have one drop of good in your evil nature. You're pitch black within, full of darkness (Ephesians 5:8). You have no good works worth mentioning. The less a man thinks of himself, the more He will think of Christ. Trust in Christ's Blood, not your works. If you conceal your sin, you will damn your soul. Come out in the open with the rest of us, place yourself among the Guilty. If you are full of sin and have no merit, you may come to Christ now. There is no Medicine to prescribe to sinners except - Christ, Christ, Christ. Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the way. Grace is your greatest need. In a famine, food is the greatest need. In a lost soul, Christ is the greatest need.

You have rejected Christ many times, you have broken God's Law continually, you are lost and under the wrath of God right now (John 3:36). You are certainly guilty in the sight of God. Be wise - Seek for God's Mercy through Christ's Atoning Sacrifice alone. You must become as a little child, trusting in Jesus, if you are ever to be saved. Christ was crucified for guilty sinners, just like you. Bad people (sinners) can go to Heaven, but all good people (the self-righteous) go to Hell. It is not your works, but His Goodness; not your merits, but His Mercy; not human goodness, but divine Grace. You must look completely out of yourself to Another (Christ Himself) for free and full forgiveness of all your sins. You must forsake your way and your thoughts. Great sinners need the Great Savior who died for the ungodly. The guilty man needs and seeks mercy. Human efforts are a dead end which winds up in the lake of fire. Divine mercy is the greatest need of every man who ever lived.

Jesus is the sinner's only Friend. Don't play the fool with your soul. You can never be saved by any of your works, for they are all faulty and defiled. You must be saved completely by the Merits of Another. Sin cannot be in two places at once. Your sin is either on your soul right now, or it is on Jesus. Just trust Christ's Blood now. A sinner can only be made Righteous through what Christ has done. A guilty man can be saved only by the mercy of God in Christ. Human nature rebelliously continues on in its deadly doings. Jesus will only love sinners Freely. The Grace of God is as free as the air you breathe. Jesus freely gives and forgives His enemies. The best and wisest thing to do is to trust only to the Merits of the Lamb of God at once.

Salvation or Damnation?

Depraved human nature says "do your own thing, believe in your own way, believe in yourself, rely on your own devotion and sincerity, make it your own way, one religion is just as good as another, as long as I'm sincere and do MY best, and follow MY conscience, that's all that matters; no one is going to tell ME what to believe and how to live MY life." Self-righteous human nature says, "I'll believe what I want to believe, and no one is going to tell ME any different, I'll come to God MY way, I'll earn MY own way, I will worship God any old way I choose, I know better than God." Self-righteousness is the way of Cain. Carnal human nature says, "Rely on self-sacrifice, not Christ's Blood Sacrifice." Human nature sets up its own righteousness in opposition to Christ's Righteousness. The carnal mind defies the Gospel, and takes issue with God's way of free salvation, and cannot endure to simply trust the finished work of Jesus Christ. Human nature says, "There is much natural goodness in men, and they must believe in Jesus, and work it out and gradually improve themselves into a state of grace that make them acceptable in God's sight."

Degraded human nature says, "Be good as you ever can, and trust to Jesus Christ to make up the rest, It is not enough to simply trust what Christ has done, you must do sufficient good works to earn your salvation on top of what Jesus Christ did on the Cross. I prefer MY own righteousness to Christ's Righteousness." This is clean opposite of the Gospel of Christ. Self-righteousness flies in the faces of God, impugns His Gospel, insults His Son, and robs Him of His glory. No man will ever look to the Righteousness of Another while he remains satisfied with his own righteousness. A man will never renounce his self-righteousness until he truly sees his sin-full-ness. The Holy Ghost must reveal to a man that his sin is a damnable and hateful evil. Your sins are a horrible and detestable thing to God. You must loathe yourself, and flee to Christ's Atoning Blood for refuge and cleansing. None of God's goodness and mercy is deserved by you. Through Jesus' blood alone, God's mercies come to undeserving sinners.

Proud human nature boasts, "I've never wronged anybody, I've been honest in my business transactions, I've brought up my children respectably, I've always paid my bills on time, I've never disgraced my character, I'm a civil man, and don't use bad language, I go to church sometimes. If anyone is going to heaven, I should. I'm much better than most men."

The Bible says, You are a sinner, and you cannot come to God by your own righteousness. You cannot enter God's presence as you are. You are not acceptable in God's sight. The only way of entrance is if some Innocent Victim sheds its blood to pay for your sins. Only then can you enter God's presence. God needs to straighten you out. You must come to God His way. Christ died for the ungodly. Sin makes a fool out of you. Sin makes you afraid of God, and separates you from God. Sin causes you to blame others, pass the buck. An Innocent Victim shed His blood for you on Calvary's Cross. Human sin and guilt can only be taken away by the Lamb of God Himself (John 1:29). The main trouble behind all of your surface troubles is Sin Trouble. Religious performance cannot mask or cover up your sin trouble.

You can try to deny it, but the facts are the facts. We all have sinned often and miserably against a holy God. We have lived without regard to His commandments and denied His Son's love. But thanks be to God, Forgiveness is the act of mercy whereby the offended party chooses to forego the inflicting of judgment, punishment, and wrath though it is in His power to execute such. God for the sake of the shed blood of Jesus Christ has mercy on a sinner, the moment the sinner puts their faith and trust in the finished cross-work of Jesus Christ. God in mercy chooses to withhold judgment due to our sins for Jesus' sake. God delights in mercy, He wants to pardon every sinner, not even the score. Forgiveness cannot be earned, you can't be worthy of divine mercy. We are not worth forgiving, but God forgives unworthy sinners for Jesus' sake alone. God doesn't has to forgive you, but He is merciful only because of what Jesus did for us. Fear not, Christ Jesus died for sinners, you are a sinner, so Christ died for you.

Only the Blood of Christ can quieten your nagging guilty conscience. The only thing that will matter in Eternity is did you leave this life with your sins forgiven by the shed blood of God manifest in the flesh (Christ Jesus), or did you did in your sins trying to do it your own way. You need your sins forgiven as soon as possible through real faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ. Sinners today are so distracted, misled, and deceived. From your childhood up to now, you have had one great need and that is the Forgiveness of Sins (Colossians 1:14; Acts 13:38-39; Acts 26:18; Ephesians 1:7). You are perilously close to Hell. Forsake your good works and your bad works, all of them will damn you. Your soul has a death sentence on it. It's either Salvation or Damnation. It's your choice. Lord Jesus, please cleanse me from all my sin through Your Atoning Blood now.
