Bible prophecy concerning the Messiah promised that He would be both God and man. He was born as a child, but yet also called the Mighty God. *Isaiah 9:6* Christ Jesus was a descendent of King David. He was both man and God miraculously joined together in one person - Jesus of Nazareth. Israel's religious leaders were proud and greedy, and therefore blind to the prophecy concerning the Messiah. Infinite deity and earthly humanity were both manifested in Christ Jesus. Jesus was worshipped by man here on earth. Jesus is equal to God and the Holy Spirit. *I Timothy 2:5-6* God became a Jewish man, so He could become the Savior of sinful men. The Word put on human flesh in order to save sinners. *John 1:14*
We are made righteous through Christ's obedience. God became a human being, so He could die for our sins. Sin's penalty is eternal death. God the Father could not die, but Jesus, God manifest in the flesh as a Jewish man, could suffer the penalty for our sins. Jesus became the Mediator between God and men. In order to be a go between, it is necessary to be equal to both parties in the mediation. The only one who could bring a holy God and sinful man back together had to be equal to both. Only one person in the history of the universe has done this, His name is the Lord Jesus Christ, God Incarnate. Jesus never sinned; He had the Righteousness that was acceptable to a holy God in the mediation. Jesus as our Great High Priest offered up Himself on the Cross as our sinless Atoning Sacrifice. Jesus revealed God to blinded sinful man. God revealed Himself to man through the person of Jesus of Nazareth. *Hebrews 1:1-3*
God is Just; He punished human sin in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. God is merciful, He accepts every sinner that trusts to the Precious Blood for Jesus' sake. Make an inventory now of your past sins; go over that dark list of iniquities from your childhood until now. God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. Your sins should humble you. Human nature kicks at moral boundaries. Men by nature are infatuated with the love of sin. What you do when you are all alone; that is what you really are. You do what you do, because you are what you are. What your mind dwells on in secret is what you really desire and love? Man intellectually resists that he is sinful. By nature, every man's inclination is toward evil. Has the Holy Spirit ever showed you what is in your heart?
If you live to sin, you are lost for sure. Your daily sins fly in the face of the thrice-holy God of the universe. The non-loving of God and the rejection of Christ are the root sins that damn a man. Sin always results in misery and guilt. Sin promises pleasure and an escape, but it always results in misery and bondage. There is nothing spiritually good whatsoever in human nature. By nature, every man and woman is utterly lost in their sins.
Nothing can kill your love for sinning but Jesus' Precious Blood. The only true Remedy for a sin-loving heart is Jesus' most Precious Blood. Your so-called good works are just as sinful as your bad works if you are trusting to those good works to help save you from the wrath to come. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus can do helpless sinners any good. No man can be saved by his own doings, for all men are sinners. Be wise - ask the great Advocate, Jesus Christ the Righteous, to take your case and arbitrate for you before the throne of God.
Without Jesus Christ as your Substitute, your damnation is just and inevitable. Depend upon the Blood and Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall see God's face in Eternity with acceptance. I am nothing; and there is nothing in me whatsoever to inherit Eternal Life, for I have no goodness of my own. You have nothing else to trust to but Jesus' finished work. The only way that sin can be removed from your guilty soul is by God's Blood that flowed from Jesus' veins on Calvary's tree.
Have you ever trusted to Jesus' Blood with all your heart? Do you have a sincere interest and trust in the Atoning Blood of God manifest in the flesh? Why do you personally believe you are saved from the wrath to come? Do you have a daily battle inwardly with temptation and sin? Are you really and truly resting in the Precious Blood of Jesus for all your Salvation? Are you glorying in Another's Righteousness which is not your own?
Personally submit yourself to Jesus. If you slight and neglect the blood of Jesus, your soul shall be damned for sure. Come by faith to the foot of the Cross and trust alone in the merit of Jesus' Blood. Only Jesus can rescue from the enslaving power of your sins. You are condemned already in the sight of God, for you have intentionally slighted and neglected the Son of God.
JEHOVAH'S Salvation is only found at the Cross. The free forgiveness of sins is through the Atoning Blood; God's divine pardon is to be had for nothing through simply trusting to Christ Jesus. No merits of yours are needed; there is no need for you to bring your self-goodness; come to the Cross just as you are -- an undone, bankrupt sinner, simply trusting to Jesus alone. The only way of entering into Eternal Life is through the Door, the only Door, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
The Lord Jesus Christ stood in the place of sinful men, and bore for them the wrath and terror of the Law's curse and fully satisfied Divine Justice for us. Jesus took my sins upon Himself, and then He suffered the punishment due to all my sins. The only remedy for the deadly disease called Sin which rages within you is the Incarnate God's own Blood. Again, the only way of escape from the enslaving power of your iniquities is through the Precious Blood, the working of the Holy Spirit, and God's divine grace. There's hope for the vilest at the Cross. If you can take pleasure in the sin which cost Jesus His life, you are condemned already. Heartily accept Christ's Blood Atonement at once.
You must forsake your love for sins and merely depend upon the Blood and Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your transgressions. Bible Repentance is hating and forsaking sins. Just be nothing, and let Jesus be everything. Stop setting up your self-righteousness in opposition to the merit, blood and righteousness of the Great Sin-Bearer and Mediator. You must place precious Faith in the Precious Promises and Precious Blood of the Precious Savior. Take your sins directly to Christ's Cross.
All confidence except in the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ is delusion. Your sins deserve the wrath of God, but Jesus took that wrath for you. The Atoning Sacrifice, the Precious Blood, will make you whiter than snow within through the Righteousness of the Lamb of God. The only Remedy for human sin is the bleeding sinless Substitute, suffering and dying in your place, believed on and received into your heart. Come directly to the Cross, just as you are, and depend upon the Blood and Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am a sinner for sure; Christ died in the sinner's place; I trust wholly to Him; and I am saved. Humble yourself down at the feet of Jesus, seek His mercy, trust to His Precious Blood. Confide alone in the power and merit of the Atoning Blood of God Incarnate. The only safe and sure way to come to God is through faith in the Person and Blood of Jesus of Nazareth, God in human flesh. Evil human nature disregards God, rejects Christ, loves sin, and neglects the Bible. Eternal Salvation is procured by the Blood of Christ alone, not human self-righteousness. Sincerely ask God for mercy through faith in the Precious Blood of His Son. Faith in the crucified and risen Savior is key.
Let Jesus rule your daily thought life, speech, and actions. Christ must be lifted up in your life, and His Precious Blood should be your daily theme. Extol the Precious Blood of God Incarnate. Tell sinners about the Precious Blood, that is the main thing they need to hear about. Ability without humility is disability. Be always pointing sinners to Calvary's Lamb. Make Jesus very high in your esteem. Care less and less for man's esteem. Self-esteem is the opposite of Christ's esteem. Lift high the banner of the Savior's bleeding love. Always tell out the Good News of free Salvation through childlike faith in Jesus' finished Cross-work.

The Two Books
On that terrible, dark and lonely day, when God manifest in the flesh became Sin for you, God punished the body, soul and spirit of an innocent man, a Righteous Victim, the Lamb of God. Jesus bore through the full wrath of God in His bosom for sinners just like you. Every sin you've ever committed (past-present-future) was paid for at Calvary with God's own blood. If you want to get freedom from God's judgment on sin, you must come to Calvary. If you want to go to Heaven, trust Jesus Christ; if you want to go to Hell, just trust something else. Fix your faith solely on the Incarnate God's Atoning Blood and Justifying Righteousness.
The poured out wrath of God fell on Jesus that day when He was bearing your sins in His own body on the tree. Your sins were charged to Jesus' account, and He paid for those sins in your place. Do you want Safety from the wrath of God? Here's where you get it - get to where the wrath of God has already fallen, and your soul will be safe. You better get to Calvary. Jesus has already taken the sting of Sin and Death; He took the stinger for you; Sin can't sting you any long, because it got Him. If you want to be Safe, go to Calvary; if you want to go to Hell, just go somewhere else. There's a million ways to go to Hell.
When a man is born again and put into Christ by the Holy Spirit, that man is put into a position spiritually, that even though he may sin, those sins are no longer charged to his account. I sin enough every day of my life to condemn me and put me in Hell, but God sees me in Christ now, and He imputes my iniquities not to me, but He accepts me in the Beloved. In Christ, my sins are no longer laid to my charge, because Christ Jesus bore my sins and took them away with His Precious Blood. This is what the Holy Bible calls the blessedness of Imputation. No religionist that thinks you can earn and/or lose your Salvation has a clue about Imputation, but Imputation is a central Bible doctrine. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for Righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Here's a simple illustration of Imputation: There are two books lying on a table, one is a pure white book, and the other book is as red as crimson. The white book is a record of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ, the record of a perfect, sinless man. The crimson book is the diary of your entire life; it is filled with all your secret sins, transgressions, iniquities, filthy thoughts, cheating, lying, gossip, lust, wickedness, idolatry, dirty habits, self-righteous deeds and depravity. Whenever you trust to the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, God takes the white book of that Perfect Man and rights your name across the front it - "The Life and Times of so-and-so". When God does that, God imputes Christ's Righteousness to your guilty soul. Then God takes the crimson book with all of your wickedness in it, and He writes across the front of it, "This the life of My Son Jesus Christ". And God takes all your sins and imputes them to Christ's account. Imputation is when God takes your sins and marks them down on His innocent Son's record, and God put His Son's Righteousness down on your record, for Jesus' sake. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord Jesus Christ: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you believe in Imputation, you know that your own works cannot help save you, or play any part in your Salvation.
This is what the Bible calls Imputation, from the Latin verb imputare, which means “to charge (to someone’s account).” Guilt must be paid for; it can’t be swept under the rug. When you are wronged or injured – even in a fender-bender – the aggrieved party demands justice, someone has to answer for it, it’s someone’s fault, either you or the other person. The damage and cost don’t just go away. If it’s going to be put right, someone has to pay the cost. And so it is with God. There is no way He can turn a blind eye to our evil that is damaging to His holiness.
We have all sinned against God’s holy law. God is holy and strictly just; He must punish all sin. How does God confront this problem? How is the damage to Him paid for? Out of infinite love and divine mercy for us, God becomes a Jewish man and charges our infinite sin-debt to Himself, a Sinless Substitute. Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, put Himself in the place of sinners, the unbearable weight of our sin and guilt was charged to His account, He suffered for it, He sank under it, He endured all the wrath of God for us. For God hath made Christ to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ. This is the love of God.
You must first sense the bitterness of your sins, before you can experience and know the blessedness of the forgiveness of sins. You must give up your artificial righteousness, and rest on and trust to Christ's finished work, that is, His Blood that was shed for sinners, and His Righteousness imputed to sinners. Be wise - take up the position as a sinner before God, and plead Guilty, accept the sentence of God's Law towards you as being just and right, and then call upon the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue you from that guilt. Whosoever believeth on Jesus is justified from all sin. Appeal only to God's mercy, pity and love, for a sinner has no merit of his own to stand on in the sight of God.

How Can I Escape?
How can I escape the enslavement of my sins? When a man honestly and sincerely asks this question, he is on the verge of finding the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Giver of Free Eternal Life.
What is really wrong with the inward nature of human beings? The atheist says, "Life is only matter and biology; and you are only a pack of neurons. The only purpose of life is DNA survival." Atheism reduces human beings to the level of animals, and brings animals up to the level of human beings. Victimology says, "If anything goes wrong in your life, blame someone else, it is always someone else's fault. Whatever the problem is, someone else must have caused it."
Sin is a twisted, devilish corruption in the human heart. Sin is missing the mark morally, unrighteousness, wickedness, corruption of character, overstepping a moral boundary, and lawlessness. Sin is not just about your outward actions; sin is the inward evil nature that leads you to reject Christ and to violate the divine moral Laws of your Creator. Only the Gospel can open your eyes to see the reality and wretchedness of your sinful condition, and to see also the glorious Salvation that Christ offers through His Atoning Blood.
Paul said in Romans 7:8-9, that the commandment (the divine Law) came, then his sin inwardly revived, and then he died. Read and study that text closely. Only the Holy Spirit through the divine Law can cause the revival of sin within you, and then you will begin to sense your wretchedness and the enslavement to your sins. I was brought low, and then the Lord Jesus Christ helped me. Once sin truly revives within you, you will then die, that is, you will be truly humbled, your soul will be weaned from all carnal self-confidence, and you will become inwardly despaired and brought low.
When you call upon the Lord Jesus Christ in your distress, God the Holy Ghost will then miraculously apply the Precious Blood of Jesus to your soul, and give your soul the grace of Faith, whereby you will lay hold on Jesus, and give your soul consolation and assurance, whereby you will cast yourself wholly on the Blood and Righteousness of Jesus for all your Salvation. You will then know you are born again and rejoice in Christ's free pardon of sin, and begin to hate the sins you loved before. This is the true work of the Holy Spirit in the human heart. Everything else is nothing but dead religiousness.
Atheistic Psychology says, "There is no such thing as sin and evil; biology is destiny; blame everyone else, everyone else is to blame." The Gospel upsets us and challenges us about our sins, provokes us to repent, demands that we change, and then sets us free from sin and gives you the freedom to live a private and public life pleasing to God your Creator. The world loves a Jesus as a moral Example, but not as a Judge or Savior. Sin is a word this generation avoids today.
Today, if you are self-righteous, self-sufficient, ungodly, careless, worldly: you are in the snare of sin and Satan, you shall remain there until you repent and trust to Jesus alone; you shall perish, unless you Repent, for it is written “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” May God Himself through the Holy Spirit save you from perishing, by giving you a sincere interest in the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ? Be wise, make Jesus’ Blood and Righteousness your only Trust. Your works can never have a part in your salvation. Your main business is to come to Christ; come to Him sin-sick, weary, and soul-diseased, and ask Him to cure you of your sin problem. You are not to try be your own savior and physician; simply go directly to Christ, just as you are; the only salvation for your lost soul is to trust implicitly and simply to Christ Jesus Himself.
In atheism, man substitutes himself for God. In the Gospel, God in the person of Jesus of Nazareth substitutes Himself for sinful man. God Himself stepped out of Eternity into time, He stepped out of His glory down into His fallen creation at Bethlehem, so that He could become a Jewish man, and so that He could live a sinless life for you, and then bear your sins in His own body, and pay the consequences due to your sins by dying in your place on Calvary's tree. Jesus died on account of your sins. Only the Gospel correctly identifies your sinful condition and alienation from God, and only the Gospel correctly diagnoses your deadly condition, and then provides the divine Remedy for your sins, and that is the Atoning Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Grasp and face what you really are within with honesty: an undone sinner in need of God's free and open forgiveness through God Incarnate, the Lord Jesus Christ.
You may think you are nice enough that God likes you just the way you are, and that you don't really need Christ's forgiveness, because God really owes a person as good as you something as great as Eternal Life. The Gospel is only Good News if you have a real sin problem. Only bone fide sinners come to the Cross. Do you really believe that sin is an evil, bitter, heinous nature within your heart? Sin is not merely doing wrong things; sin is a corrupt, rotten nature within every human heart that separates us from God. Without Christ, you are truly lost and oppressed by your sin nature daily. Today, people want to be free from moral restrictions and restraints, they want to do what they want, when they want, with whom they want. Sexual immorality and perversion is rampant in our society.
There is something profoundly wrong and broken within the heart of every man and woman, boy and girl - it is called Sin. You have a broken relationship with the personal Creator God because of your sins. You have ignored Him and rebelled against your Maker. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Jesus can save you from the enslavement and love of sin. You need divine intervention from God Himself in order to have your sins forgiven. Now understand - You are not clever enough to save yourself from your sins. Human nature insanely thinks that it can help itself out of its sinful condition.
The Good News of the Gospel is that Salvation is free; but the Bad News is that your sinful condition is so hopeless and helpless that you cannot help save yourself from sin. Think on these words: Sin, Cross, Jesus, Forgiveness, Blood Atonement. Today's Christianity teaches of a God without wrath, human beings without sin, a Salvation without Repentance, an Eternity without a Judgment, and a Christ without a Cross. Salvation is Free, but it cost Jesus His life. Self-righteousness kicks at that and thinks it can help God out. Consider the heinousness of your sins, and the Holiness of the Creator God. You are a great sinner, but Christ Jesus, God manifest in the flesh, is the Great Savior. You must first sense your emptiness and wretchedness, and then you will sincerely seek the Savior.
Come now by Faith in Jesus' Blood, sit down and rest your soul at the Cross of Christ, and seek Repentance from the Blood Atonement which Christ has offered for your guilt. There is no cure for sin in your heart like a one-on-one encounter with Christ Jesus. Spend much time with Jesus; for it impossible for you to dwell with Jesus and with your sins at the same time. You can only escape the enslavement of your sins through the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

Do Your Soul a Favor
It is inevitable that God must punish all sins ever committed, so God sent His only begotten Son into this sin-cursed world, and then God laid all my sins on Jesus, and then the Lamb of God bore all the punishment due to my sins. The great ransom price for my sins was the life and blood of Jesus. Your soul needs a clear view of the Cross, the Atoning Blood, and the Substitution of God Incarnate. Your Creator will soon call you to account for all your sins against Him. You need understanding from the Holy Spirit concerning the great truths of Substitution and Reconciliation. Only Christ Jesus can take an undone, guilty sinner and save that sinner to the uttermost through His grace and blood.
One believing look to Jesus, the sinner's Substitute, and all your transgressions will be forgiven freely and eternally. Yield to Jesus, trust to His blood, and free eternal life is yours instantly. Believe now the great saving truth of Atonement by Substitution. Your soul will remain in Satan's bondage year after year until you look only and simply to the Lamb of God and His finished, redemptive work of Calvary. Your sins were laid on Jesus, so they could be removed from your soul forever. Get this truth down deep into your heart: Jesus was made to be Sin for us, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Christ. Accept JEHOVAH'S single way of Salvation by faith in His Son's Precious Blood. Whosoever believeth in Jesus shall receive the remission of sins freely by grace.
Now listen closely, do your soul a favor - rely now only on the merits of Jesus' Blood and Righteousness. I accept Jesus as my Sin-Bearer now; I lay my hand on Him as my Sacrifice by Faith, and my sins are transferred to Him forever. Sin cannot be in two places at the same time: my sins are laid upon Jesus, and taken off of my soul. The remission of sins is only by Substitution: Christ stood in the sinner's place, He took upon Himself the sinner's sins, and then shed His own blood to pay the debt that sin caused. The only available hiding-place for your guilty soul is at the foot of the Cross underneath the Blood of the Incarnate God. Christ's Blood and Righteousness are the hinges upon which my destiny hangs for time and Eternity. Depend upon Jesus Himself; lean hard upon Him with all of the weight of your sins by Faith in His Blood alone; rest upon Jesus; make His Atoning Blood your soul's only Dependence.
Be wise, prepare for these five words: Infirmity, Frailty, Mortality, Reality, Eternity. The Precious Blood of Christ Jesus, God's dear Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Study closely the matchless plan of Atonement by Sinless Sacrifice and Propitiation by Substitution. Believe this scriptural fact: God Himself becoming manifest in the flesh, and bleeding and dying as a human being to save sinners from the love of sin and the wrath to come. Your Creator's only method of Salvation is by Substitution through the Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. The truth of Atonement by Jesus' suffering and bleeding has a ring to it that catches the guilty sinner's ear.
Your guilty conscience can only be quieted by Jesus' blood. The only Physician for sin-sick, broken hearts is the Lord Jesus Christ, and His Medicine is His own Blood. The divine Ointment of Jesus' Blood must be applied by the Holy Spirit to your wounded spirit. Jesus' Himself bore my sins in His own body on the tree, and now with His stripes my soul is healed from the love of sin. There is no eternal cure for human sin but God's own Blood that flowed from Immanuel's veins.
The condemnation due to my sins was laid on Jesus at the Cross, so now I am clear before the bar of God's divine justice. Jesus put Himself into my place by bearing my sins, and now He has put me into His place through the miracle of His Redemption. Through Christ's redeeming love and blood, God is now able to show His full mercy to sinners like me without any violation to His demanding justice.
Come to Jesus now, confess your iniquities, believing in His Atoning Sacrifice, and you shall be completely accepted and pardoned. On Christ's back fell the stripes that were due to my sins. He was wounded for my transgressions; He was bruised for my iniquities; and now my sins are forever forgiven for Jesus' sake, and only because Jesus bore the full penalty of my sins. Jesus laid down His sinless life to Ransom me from the evil of my sins. My guilt was laid on Jesus, so I could be graciously forgiven.
Like a defenseless bird being chased by a hawk, flee now to the wounds of Jesus for your soul's eternal Safety. My sin debt has been paid by Jesus laying down His life for me, and now that debt cannot be demanded of my soul anymore. The Incarnate God, my substitutionary Sacrifice, rose again from the dead for my free Justification. Whosoever believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ is reconciled to God through the bloody death of the Son of God. My Salvation was procured when Jesus Himself bore the vengeance of God that was due to my sins. Christ died, the Just for the unjust, that He might reconcile my soul back to God.
God can now be Just, and yet the the Justifier, of all those who believe in Jesus' blood. God can now freely pardon me, and yet punish my sins without any violation to His inflexible Justice. Christ stepped into my guilty shoes, paid all my sin debt, and all my sins have been justly and mercifully expunged from the record books of God. Christ's Substitution perfectly satisfies the intellect, the conscience, the soul, and the heart; but most importantly, Christ's Bloody Substitution satisfies the thrice-holy God Himself. My soul is satisfied with the Lamb of God who has satisfied JEHOVAH. The love of God punished my sins when the justice of God was visited upon the willing Victim of Calvary.
God could not wink at my sin, He had to punish it, and that He did, when Jesus died on my behalf on Calvary's Cross. The wrath of God in all its fury was spent on the sinless Substitute that dark day on Calvary. You need not dread the just punishment due to your sins if you will but simply trust to Jesus. If the dread of death and Hell is haunting your conscience, look now by Faith to the Blood of the Lamb of God, and you will be free from condemnation. All my confidence is now entirely fixed in the great Substitution and Propitiation which Christ has made for me.
God Himself will pass over me in the Day of Judgment only for Jesus' blood's sake. Jesus lost His life, so I could have free eternal life. Don't forget: The great central doctrine of the Gospel is the Lord Jesus Christ's Substitution for sinners. You can only find God's peace and pardon in the Blood of Jesus Christ. The Holy Creator God Himself became a Jewish man, that He might be able to be the Substitute for sinners. Jesus was perfectly Innocent, but my sins were charged to Him; He was numbered with the transgressors, and bore my sins, so I could be numbered with the Righteous.
One believing look to Jesus, the sinner's Substitute, and all your transgressions will be forgiven freely and eternally. Yield to Jesus, trust to His blood, and free eternal life is yours instantly. Believe now the great saving truth of Atonement by Substitution. Your soul will remain in Satan's bondage year after year until you look only and simply to the Lamb of God and His finished, redemptive work of Calvary. Your sins were laid on Jesus, so they could be removed from your soul forever. Get this truth down deep into your heart: Jesus was made to be Sin for us, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Christ. Accept JEHOVAH'S single way of Salvation by faith in His Son's Precious Blood. Whosoever believeth in Jesus shall receive the remission of sins freely by grace.
Now listen closely, do your soul a favor - rely now only on the merits of Jesus' Blood and Righteousness. I accept Jesus as my Sin-Bearer now; I lay my hand on Him as my Sacrifice by Faith, and my sins are transferred to Him forever. Sin cannot be in two places at the same time: my sins are laid upon Jesus, and taken off of my soul. The remission of sins is only by Substitution: Christ stood in the sinner's place, He took upon Himself the sinner's sins, and then shed His own blood to pay the debt that sin caused. The only available hiding-place for your guilty soul is at the foot of the Cross underneath the Blood of the Incarnate God. Christ's Blood and Righteousness are the hinges upon which my destiny hangs for time and Eternity. Depend upon Jesus Himself; lean hard upon Him with all of the weight of your sins by Faith in His Blood alone; rest upon Jesus; make His Atoning Blood your soul's only Dependence.
Be wise, prepare for these five words: Infirmity, Frailty, Mortality, Reality, Eternity. The Precious Blood of Christ Jesus, God's dear Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Study closely the matchless plan of Atonement by Sinless Sacrifice and Propitiation by Substitution. Believe this scriptural fact: God Himself becoming manifest in the flesh, and bleeding and dying as a human being to save sinners from the love of sin and the wrath to come. Your Creator's only method of Salvation is by Substitution through the Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. The truth of Atonement by Jesus' suffering and bleeding has a ring to it that catches the guilty sinner's ear.
Your guilty conscience can only be quieted by Jesus' blood. The only Physician for sin-sick, broken hearts is the Lord Jesus Christ, and His Medicine is His own Blood. The divine Ointment of Jesus' Blood must be applied by the Holy Spirit to your wounded spirit. Jesus' Himself bore my sins in His own body on the tree, and now with His stripes my soul is healed from the love of sin. There is no eternal cure for human sin but God's own Blood that flowed from Immanuel's veins.
The condemnation due to my sins was laid on Jesus at the Cross, so now I am clear before the bar of God's divine justice. Jesus put Himself into my place by bearing my sins, and now He has put me into His place through the miracle of His Redemption. Through Christ's redeeming love and blood, God is now able to show His full mercy to sinners like me without any violation to His demanding justice.
Come to Jesus now, confess your iniquities, believing in His Atoning Sacrifice, and you shall be completely accepted and pardoned. On Christ's back fell the stripes that were due to my sins. He was wounded for my transgressions; He was bruised for my iniquities; and now my sins are forever forgiven for Jesus' sake, and only because Jesus bore the full penalty of my sins. Jesus laid down His sinless life to Ransom me from the evil of my sins. My guilt was laid on Jesus, so I could be graciously forgiven.
Like a defenseless bird being chased by a hawk, flee now to the wounds of Jesus for your soul's eternal Safety. My sin debt has been paid by Jesus laying down His life for me, and now that debt cannot be demanded of my soul anymore. The Incarnate God, my substitutionary Sacrifice, rose again from the dead for my free Justification. Whosoever believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ is reconciled to God through the bloody death of the Son of God. My Salvation was procured when Jesus Himself bore the vengeance of God that was due to my sins. Christ died, the Just for the unjust, that He might reconcile my soul back to God.
God can now be Just, and yet the the Justifier, of all those who believe in Jesus' blood. God can now freely pardon me, and yet punish my sins without any violation to His inflexible Justice. Christ stepped into my guilty shoes, paid all my sin debt, and all my sins have been justly and mercifully expunged from the record books of God. Christ's Substitution perfectly satisfies the intellect, the conscience, the soul, and the heart; but most importantly, Christ's Bloody Substitution satisfies the thrice-holy God Himself. My soul is satisfied with the Lamb of God who has satisfied JEHOVAH. The love of God punished my sins when the justice of God was visited upon the willing Victim of Calvary.
God could not wink at my sin, He had to punish it, and that He did, when Jesus died on my behalf on Calvary's Cross. The wrath of God in all its fury was spent on the sinless Substitute that dark day on Calvary. You need not dread the just punishment due to your sins if you will but simply trust to Jesus. If the dread of death and Hell is haunting your conscience, look now by Faith to the Blood of the Lamb of God, and you will be free from condemnation. All my confidence is now entirely fixed in the great Substitution and Propitiation which Christ has made for me.
God Himself will pass over me in the Day of Judgment only for Jesus' blood's sake. Jesus lost His life, so I could have free eternal life. Don't forget: The great central doctrine of the Gospel is the Lord Jesus Christ's Substitution for sinners. You can only find God's peace and pardon in the Blood of Jesus Christ. The Holy Creator God Himself became a Jewish man, that He might be able to be the Substitute for sinners. Jesus was perfectly Innocent, but my sins were charged to Him; He was numbered with the transgressors, and bore my sins, so I could be numbered with the Righteous.

New Testament *Musts*
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. The scriptures must be fulfilled. And Jesus said unto them, How is it that ye sought Me? wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in Me, And He was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning Me have an end. The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. He must increase, but I must decrease. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Then the jailor called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Wake Up Call
There is clear evidence of intelligent design and brilliant creation all around you, everywhere you look - from your eyeballs, to your fingerprints, to your children, to all the plants, insects, and animals you see every day. God created the sun, He keeps it burning, He keeps it from burning out or exploding, He keeps His sun burning just at the right temperature so we can safely exist here on God's Earth every day. Atheists are completely blind to the creation, to the frailty of their flesh, to the extreme brevity of life, to their imminent danger without Christ, to the sinfulness of their inward nature, to the certainty of death, the realities of Eternity, and the grace and kindness of their Crucified and Risen Creator. Atheists are thoughtless, careless, and Christ-less. Living in this world from day to day in your natural state outside of Christ is risky business.
Frailty, Mortality, Reality, and Eternity are just around the corner; Soberness and Truth are just over the hilltop. It's just a matter of time. Simply put - atheists believe what Darwin says and they go to Hell, and born-again Christians believe Christ Jesus' words and go to New Jerusalem. The atheists believe the words in a God-less textbook, and Christians believe the words of the Gospel found in the Holy Bible. Everyone trusts someone's thoughts - many atheists believe on darwin's thoughts, and Christians believe on Christ's thoughts - the Gospel. The thoughts you dwell on every day either came from yourself or God.
The lost atheist's real root problem is that he loves his own intellect and money. Self-idolatry controls him; he loves attention. Self-adoration is his critical objective in life. He has an intense dedication to promote darwinism, that puts most Christians to shame. The atheist is caught up in the so-called American Dream, that is, "Gain status, stuff, and personal recognition." Now understand - Money talks, it says, "I cannot satisfy you." Human nature always wants just a little more. Money (your paycheck, the paper bills and coins) is not sinful in itself - money becomes sinful when our heart responds to it in the wrong way. We shouldn’t live for temporal worldly possessions. Money is a dangerous liability. 16 of the 38 parables spoken by Jesus refer to money. Money becomes sinful when there is any ungodliness in the acquisition and use of our finances. Materialism, self-centeredness, and indulgence is the way of the atheist.
Do you know what being saved really is? “Oh yes", says one, “I want to be converted.” But do you know what being converted really means? Many people who seek the Savior do not know what it is. Another says, “I want to be saved from going to hell." But that is not salvation. Salvation is being redeemed (set free) from the love of sin. Every murderer wants to be saved from the death penalty; every thief wants to avoid the policeman; and if that is all you want, there is no hope for you. What Christ came into the world to do, is to save you FROM your sins; He came to save the drunk from his alcohol and drinking buddies; Jesus came to save the liar from saying what is not true.
Christ came into the world to save the dishonest man from being dishonest; the Savior came to redeem the lazy from being lazy; He came to save the ungenerous from being selfish and hoarding. He has come to save the atheist from his blasphemy and unbelief, and the whoremonger from his lasciviousness. That is what being *Saved* really means. *Acts 16:31* If you haven't been saved from the love of sin now in time, mark it down, you won't be saved from the lake of fire out in Eternity. Now always remember - The main reason an atheist can't find God is the same reason a thief can't find a policeman, he's not looking for him.
God-less human nature thinks that one day through science and technology it will wipe out disease and do away with human suffering without Jesus Christ. But this is nothing but a devilish delusion. Without Christ Jesus, you are facing a certain awful doom and eternal death. You must personally receive Christ into your body and soul spiritually by God-given FAITH. Bread must be taken, chewed, and swallowed, in order to get it into yourself. Bread cannot be just looked at, or touched, or smelled, it must be received into your body to satisfy your continual hunger. Likewise, Christ Jesus Himself, the Living Bread, must be taken into yourself, into your mind, soul, and heart spiritually by simple faith in His Atoning Blood. God Incarnate, the Lord Jesus Christ, bore your sins in His own body, and then He died for your sins to pay the penalty due to them.
Your emptiness cries out for Christ's fulness every day. Don't just think about Jesus, go a step further, and Receive *HIM* into your innermost being, and then you will be Born Again, and begin to hate your sins, and love Jesus Christ. Only the Holy Ghost can grant you repentance, that is, a complete change of mind with regard to your sin. You need divine assistance from the Holy Ghost to feel your sinfulness, danger and hunger, and only THEN will you seek and receive Christ Himself. Every man's mind and soul feeds on something or other. The atheist's thoughts feed on filthy things, the Christian's thoughts feed on Christ. Christ is All, Jesus is Everything, Receive HIM, Trust in nothing but Jesus' Blood to save your soul. Trust your helpless soul with the Son of God at once.
You see, human nature is never satisfied; it always wants something more, something newer, something easier. That which is a man’s supreme thought and affection is his idol. The carnal mind worships human applause, money, or lust. Money becomes sinful when we waste it, or when we hoard it for our own self-interests, and are not willing to give it away to those in need. The atheist's way is to hoard, defraud, self-indulge, and be ruthless. The atheist will take away his neighbor's livelihood and blame it on the survival of the fittest. The atheist worships worthless junk; he loves and lives for money --"Make another buck, just do whatever it takes to win."
The atheist desires a soft life, where he doesn't have to work - retire comfortably is the way. The passion of the atheist is to pursue luxury and promote self. The atheist inwardly repines at other's promotions, he secretly sighs in envy when others get the pay raise and not him. Greedy poor people play the lottery, and greedy rich people play the stock market. Money talks, it will speak up and testify against us, or for us all, at the Judgment. Hopefully, the atheist will snap out of his deadly delusion before he dies in his sins.
No one that has ever studied the cardiovascular system of the human body could think that it just happened. Atheists just willfully reject the light God reveals to them because they love sin, and just walk blindly off into the lake of fire. Atheists think they can just keep on ignoring the Judge and His divine Law, and that they won't have to give account to Him. That is like receiving a speeding ticket, and then blatantly ignoring the policeman, the judge, and the law altogether. Eventually, ignoring the laws of your state would catch up with you; likewise, ignoring God Himself (your Judge), His Law, His Son, and His Gospel, will catch up with you sooner or later. You ignoring God won’t make Him and the Reality of the coming Judgment go away (Hebrews 9:27).
Life is short, Eternity is Long; Plan Ahead. If you love to Sin right now, you're headed for Hell Fire. You have sinned, and you cannot undo your sin by your own doings. If you die in your sins, you'll be in an eternal mess. Stop trusting darwin, stop playing the fool with your soul, Repent, and rely upon Jesus Christ and His shed blood to take away your guilt and your love for your sins. Ye must be born again by the power of the Holy Ghost. Your greatest need is the New Birth. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved (rescued) from the love of sin.
Meditate on the Mediator who suffered, bled and died for your sins. Look now to the Lamb of God. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they seek not God's precepts. Christ died for ungodly sinners, especially you. Jesus shed His blood to pay your sin's awful price, trust to HIM alone to save your wretched soul, or your eternal doom is sure. See Romans 5:9; John 3:36; I Timothy 2:5-6. Jesus is God, He died in your place, and suffered the wrath of God due to your sins. Trust the Atoning Blood of the Crucified Creator now.
Roses, orange trees, honeybees, hummingbirds, strawberries, songbirds, pecans, shade trees, rain, carrots, sunlight, little children, rain, your kidneys, fresh water, and your pancreas, and all the things you enjoy every day, didn't just happen by accident - wake up now, before it's too late.

It's Still the Blood
Human blood gives your body temporal human life. God's Blood gives your soul eternal abundant Life. The very source of your daily physical life is blood. All men live here on earth with the same blood, and all men must be Saved from their sins by the same blood. Your human blood is the only thing that links your body and soul together right now. The blood of Jesus Christ is the only thing that can link your soul and God together forever. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from ALL SIN.
The Blood of Christ bothers and upsets the atheist's ungodly carnal mind. You have no merit to save yourself. Your sin offends God. God's doesn't require any of your goodness, for you have none, you are a sinner. Human boasting is all excluded at the Cross. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. The people that miss Heaven are the ones that think they deserve it, and the ones that go to Heaven are those that realize don't deserve it. To come to God with your good works is to suggest that your sins are not all that bad.

To come to God with your good works is to suggest that your sins are not all that bad.
Think just for a minute of the worst sin you've ever committed in your life. The awful secret sin you don't want anyone to know about, and that you hope no one never finds out about. All of us sinners can call one of those to mind. Those shameful sins that our conscience so often washes back up on the shore of our mind. Only the Blood of Jesus Christ can take that secret sin off your record with God. God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to the Gospel. The Blood of Jesus Christ is so offensive to modern atheistic man. Jesus shed His blood to keep sinners out of Hell.
Atheists are self-worshipping, self-loving, self-adoring humanists. It offends atheists that anyone would suggest that their crimes and sins against their Maker are so great and evil that they would require the Blood of God to be shed to pay for them. God is so holy that even your least sin so offends Him that is requires the Greatest Payment - His Son's own Blood. God hates your sins, do you?

God is so holy that even your least sin so offends Him that is requires the Greatest Payment - His Son's own Blood. God hates your sins, do you?
Every man is a sinner. Your sin is very offensive to God. Every one of your sins fly in the face of a holy God, the Creator. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am a sinner indeed. I will trust Jesus' blood to save me from my sins. I rest on His Atonement which He has offered for me. Be wise - Believe in Christ as a Victim for your sins. Jesus didn't stay dead. Christ is risen from the dead, He is alive right now, and able to save any sinner to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM. Your soul has sin on it, and only the Blood of God can put it away.
Your sins can only be forgiven through simple faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ. You can't cleanse yourself from your sins. Your good works only make your sin stains worse and worse. Free justification through faith in the atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the only way. The blood of Jesus Christ will change your rebellious heart, and save your lost soul.

Free justification through faith in the atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the only way. The blood of Jesus Christ will change your rebellious heart, and save your lost soul.
Man's views and opinions are only superstition and idolatry. The Blood of Jesus Christ is one and only acceptable offering that satisfies the demands and justice of God to pay for human sin and make an Atonement so that sinful man and a holy God could be reconciled together. The Blood of Jesus Christ is the still the only answer for your guilt. There's nothing as rare and valuable in all the universe than sinless Blood, and it came from the veins of Jesus Christ. Jesus shed His blood in exchange for your soul. God gave His best (His Son) for the worst (all of us). See John 3:16-36. Human nature will believe anything and everything but the Bible. Human nature downplays guilt, sin, the grace of God, and the Bloody Sacrifice of Christ Jesus.
Jesus' Blood still saves ungodly men from the love of sin. Your greatest need right now is Faith in His Blood (Romans 3:25). Sin's debt is fully paid by the Lamb of God's Blood. Only a sinless Man can save sinners. Only one Man was good enough to pay for your sins - His name was Jesus of Nazareth. The Lamb of God bled for your sins. No verse in the Bible says that Jesus saves from Hell, Jesus saves from Sin now. Your best is not good enough to save you. You can never be righteous enough to earn heaven. There's a holy God that your sin has offended, and it's going to take a perfect blood Sacrifice to satisfy the wrath of God towards 'your' sin. God requires the Best, and the Best is the Lamb of God. You can get out of debt, by borrowing more money. You can get out of your sin debt, by doing your best, your best is sinful in God's sight. Sin is such a heinous thing in God's sight, that only His Son's Blood is an acceptable Payment.
Consider your ways, fear Christ Jesus (Matthew 10:28), take heed to yourself, be careful that you don't damn your soul to Hell by neglecting Christ's Blood - the only cure for your deadly sin problem. There is a world to come. If you die in your sins, after this life will come the Judgment and then eternal wrath and misery. If you perish in your sins, on your own head will be your doom. If you die without Christ, it will be own fault. Your conscience warn you of this, and the Bible confirms it.
If you reject Christ, you are your own destroyer. You must be saved by free grace, and not by your own merits. If you continue to love and refuse to trust Christ, there is no mercy. Outside of Christ, there remains nothing for you but the fearful looking for of judgment and of fiery indignation. Jesus suffered bitterly and bled to death to save sinners just like you. You need to let Jesus rule your life. Trust His Blood implicitly to save you from the love of sin now. Looking to Christ alone will save you from your sinful habits.
