The Message of Mercy

Here’s the ‘Message of Mercy’ that’s music in the sinner’s ears. Time is flying by, life is short, death is near, and Eternity is drawing nigh to you. Your life is very frail and could end any day. You've neglected and rejected Christ time and time again; you've sinned against God Himself and violated His divine Law; and your sins deserve God’s divine justice and recompense. The wrath of God abides on you right now (John 3:36), because of your secret and public sins, and your rejection of Christ. God sees the sins of your youth as though they were committed yesterday. God sees your thought-life and imaginations every hour. Your root problem is that you love sin. Christ Jesus Himself, the Prince of Life, made the Ultimate Sacrifice by laying down His life for your sins. Everything you've ever thought, said, or done has been done in the eye sight of God. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of God. The test of your character is how you treat people you don't need and that can't help or repay you. Jesus didn't need us, and we couldn't help or repay Him, but He still sought us and had Mercy on us, for His love and goodness' sake.

Faith in His Blood!

Worthy is The Lamb!

Glorying Only in The Cross!

Boasting Only in The Lord Jesus Christ Himself!

But Thanks be to God, 
which giveth us The Victory 
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He ever Liveth to make intercession for them.

I am a sinner and nothing at all,
but Christ Jesus is my All in All.

Every time you sin, you harden your heart a little more; and the harder your heart becomes, the more difficult it is for God to reach you and for you to respond to God. But God has provided a great Remedy for your sin. It is high time for you to make the wisest decision a sinner can make – Trust implicitly, heartily and simply to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself (His Person and Blood). Your good works are good-for-nothing and meaningless to God; for you cannot help save yourself. Divine Mercy can never be earned by your self-righteousness. All have sinned, and there is not a just man upon the earth that doeth good, and sinneth not. You are a sinner by birth, by nature, by practice, and by choice. You have no hope of forgiveness apart the bloody death, burial, and resurrection of The Lord Jesus Christ. God cannot overlook your sin. If God ceased to judge sin, He would cease to be Holy and Just. God cannot let one sin of yours go unpunished. Your sin will either be pardoned by Christ, or punished in Hell, but it will never be overlooked by your holy Creator.

Now, there is nothing freer than a gift, and truly, there is nothing freer than the free gift of God, eternal life. *Romans 6:23* God the Father *gave* His Son to die for poor sinners like you. The eternal God, who made all things, was not willing that any should perish; therefore, He gave His Son to ransom you from sin's curse. God provided a Sinless Blood Sacrifice in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to take away your guilt, and, to do this, God gave His Son to live and die here on this Earth. God gave us Himself by becoming a Jewish man and then bearing our sins and dying for our sins. Repent of your sinfulness and renounce your self-righteousness, place and fix all your trust in the person of Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, and His Precious Blood that was shed for ungodly sinners, especially you.

God is holy, man is sinful, Christ Jesus (God manifest in the flesh) alone lived a sinless life, and then He became Sin, that is, He bore our sins in His own body on the Tree, He died for sinners and suffered the wrath of God for us all. Jesus died the death for Sin that we deserved. Jesus was buried and raised again from the dead victorious over sin, death, hell, and the grave. He is ascended into heaven and is coming again to judge the quick and the dead. God now commands all men everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel of Christ. Submit to Christ's Righteousness, fix all your confidence on His Precious Blood Atonement for sinful wretches. Trust Christ, not yourself. After Jesus saves your soul, love and follow Him in gratitude.

The Gospel is life changing, God honoring, and Christ centered. The broad way leads to destruction in hell, and the narrow way, the way of the Cross, leads to eternal life. See Acts 4:12; John 14:6; I Timothy 2:5-6. Receive Christ, receive the Spirit of God within your body. Renounce your works and sinful ways, flee to the Lamb of God who died upon the Cross for you, find Shelter under Christ's blood from the coming wrath of God.

JEHOVAH GOD was manifested in human flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. The Creator who had never been seen by the eye of man was veiled in human flesh. Jesus was God and Man in one person. He was the gift of Grace, the gift of Love, the gift of God’s own Self. The eternal Son of God came to earth to suffer as a Sinless Substitute, so that miserable wretches like us might not perish. God Incarnate bled and died for your sins to save you from the wrath to come. God gave His Son; the Son gave Himself to die; and by an act of faith; if you will TRUST HIM, Christ is your Savior forever.

The greatest proof of Jesus’ condescending love is when He came down from the Throne of Glory to the Cross of Calvary. “He loved me, and gave Himself for me.” *Gal 2:20* Jesus obeyed the Law of God perfectly and was without sin; He was absolutely pure in thought, word, and deed. He descended from Heaven to the manger of Bethlehem – then He stooped even further to bear your sins in His own body on the Cross. Christ Jesus, out of mighty love, came here to earth, lived, labored, and died, giving His whole life away, so that ungodly sinners might be saved freely through Him. He did not come to gain anything for Himself, but out of pure love, He suffered the wrath of God for you. He endured untold anguish even unto death on Calvary’s Cross for your redemption. Remember this – Jesus bled for your sins!

God so loved the world that He gave His Son, who yielded His life an Atonement for sin, and opened the Life Gate that all guilty sinners may go in. Behold, the Son of God did all this for your soul! After JESUS died for you, He was buried, and then He rose from the dead. Then He ascended, and is now seated at the right hand of God. He is alive right now, and He still gives Himself to those that Trust Him. Through faith in His Precious Blood, Jesus can save you from all the guilt of your sin, all the power of your sin, and all the penalty of your sin. This is the best news that lost sinners have ever heard. Jesus is the Great Savior for great sinners. HE is the only answer to your misery and fear of death. You're going to die and meet your Maker; you're not ready. You have no merit; there is not an atom of goodness in you - you deserve eternal death for your sins against God. You are spiritually bankrupt - you have nothing to offer God.

But God is ready to pardon you; He is willing to save you now, if you will but trust His Son. Christ died for ungodly and guilty sinners, not good people. Good people that are self-righteous and trust in themselves end up in Hell. Simply Trust Christ Himself (rely and rest entirely on what Jesus did for you) and your sins shall be freely pardoned by mercy divine. You will be saved in an instant – when you call upon Jesus’ name. Humble yourself, send out a ‘distress call’ from your soul to Heaven, and God will save you by His grace. The instantaneous forgiveness of sins and irreversible eternal life is what your sin-sick soul needs the most.

If you reject Christ, there is no hope for you, and if you neglect HIM, you will deliberately and willfully commit spiritual suicide. Believe the Gospel and live; if you refuse HIM, you will be damned. Only TRUST JESUS, fall down at His feet in repentance, confess your sins, and ask Him to deliver you. Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while HE IS NEAR.

When Christ Jesus died on Calvary's Cross, He died as a substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, "offering up" our sins for judgment and punishment by a holy God, and He simultaneously "offered up" Himself as the one who would submit to that judgment and bear that punishment for us. Jesus was able to do this because He was both the infinite Creator and the one sinless man, who needed not to offer a sacrifice for His own sins. He was willing to do this because He loved us and wanted to save us by His grace. Jesus suffered and bled and died for your sins, so He could save you from the wrath of God and eternal death.

The matchless doctrine of Christ's substitutionary blood Sacrifice is central to the Gospel of Salvation, and therefore precious to the saint. But its central importance also means that it is grossly offensive to the natural man. Many acclaim Jesus as a great martyr or moral teacher, but deny either His deity or His humanity, and certainly deny the universal efficacy of His shed blood in substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of a lost world. Nevertheless, Jesus did bear our sins, and He did completely settle our account with God. In both Hebrews 7:27 and 9:28, the word "once". Jesus did have to die once--but only once--as our sin-bearing Substitute.

Salvation is now Free to you, but it cost God’s Son His life and blood. Salvation is the free gift of God’s Grace, but you must seek it, you must call upon God for it. Do it at once! This is the ‘Message of Mercy’ - God’s Free salvation is only offered to lost and guilty sinners through God's Blood shed by Jesus Christ Himself. Whosoever believeth in Christ Jesus hath everlasting life. Trust Christ Now! Trust Him wholly and fully. Repent, that is, leave your sins and your dark master behind, flee to Christ, leave all other trusts, leave your self-righteousness, quit it all! Simply Rely upon Christ’s shed blood to save your soul from the wrath of God. God be merciful to me a sinner for Jesus’ sake! *Soli Autem Crucis - The Cross Alone*

Three Keys to Good Success

* Always Care about God and souls
* Remain Diligent
* Remember to be Courteous

Always Remember Calvary

I have sinned and deserve only hell, but Christ Jesus came and took all my sin and hell; I have now put all my trust on Christ's blood; Christ took my place, and I have taken His. Now all that is left for me is Heaven's glory. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Calvary's Cross is the only hope of a sinner - the great transaction, the great substitution, the lifting of sin from off the sinner to the sinner's Substitute. The punishment of Christ instead of the sinner. The pouring out of God's wrath due to the transgressor upon the head of the Sin-Bearer. This is the grandest transaction which ever took place on earth - Jesus Christ, made sin for us, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Him. The sinless Savior stood and died in the place of guilty sinners. God laid upon the spotless Lamb of God the sin of His enemies, so that He becomes Sin personified and dies for sin. And then God takes off from the innocent Savior His Righteousness, and puts that to the account of the guilty bankrupt sinner, so that the sinner becomes actual Righteousness - the real divine Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Substitution is the key word. Christ suffering in the place of the sinner, and numbered with the transgressors because of their transgressions, not His own. Christ paying all our sin-debts in full, and discharging all our vile liabilities. We then take Christ's place as He takes ours, so that we are accepted in the Beloved, and made sons and heirs of God. There is a divine and all-sufficient Substitute for the sinner, and all sinners that will put their trust on Him shall be eternally saved (John 3:36).

Now, be honest, you know you're a sinner, come clean with God, plead guilty. You must take Christ, or die in your sins and lose your soul in the lake of fire. The right way to take medicine is to just swallow it down at once, quickly without delay. It doesn't take you long to get to the emergency room or the pharmacy if you're really sick or in pain. The one medicine for a dying sinner is the Blood of God's Son, Jesus Christ. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all sin. Christ Himself is the divine remedy for human sin. You have a burden of sin, and only the Holy Ghost can cause you to sense your danger, your soul will never cease to exist, the day of Judgment is drawing nigh, your conscience warns you of a coming judgment, you will give account of yourself to your Creator, your soul is often alarmed at the thought of dying and facing an angry God, prepare to meet your Maker. O be wise - Be a hearer, a reader, a searcher of the Scriptures, and then be a pray-er, a seeker, a repenter, a truster in the Savior, and then be a know-er, a lover of God, and a reacher of souls.

Believe only on the Lord Jesus Christ - trust Him quietly, humbly, simply, and immediately. Trust Him to make you a saved man, and a good man. Only Christ Jesus can deliver you from the love of sin, the power of the devil - He will do it. Jesus is Truth itself, and He never breaks His word - He saves sinners to the uttermost. Only trust HIM, trust Him to overcome the evil you are fighting with. Jesus can conquer your sinful habits, not you. Trust in the wounded, bleeding, dying, risen, living, and coming Savior. He will fight your battles with sin, and you shall have His victory. Trust Christ completely, and nothing you can do. Weakness, meekness, humility, and lowliness under the mighty hand of the Savior is the key to victory. Your most urgent need is the help of the Holy Ghost, and simple faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. Ask God to change your vile nature with the power of the Blood of Christ. The only remedy for your sin is Christ in your heart. You're very welcome to come to the Christ Jesus at the Cross now. Always remember Calvary, and renounce self daily (Luke 9:23). Blessed be the name of the Lord!

The Right Way to Plead

Leave off attempting to work for your salvation by an obedience of your own. Christ must save you from top to bottom, head to toe; God's great salvation is *All for Nothing*. To argue human merit is to plead against yourself. Take your place as a condemned criminal in the sight of God. Simple faith in God's dear bleeding Son is the only way to be reconciled to God. You must receive the Atonement freely, you cannot earn it, deserve it, complete it, or add anything of yours to it. The Atonement is a Free Gift. The precious Gospel word is "Receive". Broken, ruined, condemned sinners must "Receive" divine grace. If you have nothing to offer, you are the very sinner who can 'Receive' Christ's free salvation. Salvation from sin is a divine gift from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself - God manifest in the flesh.

Salvation can never be deserved, but only freely bestowed by God on the unworthy sinner, without any regard to human merit. We must accept the Gift, and then bless the Giver. Salvation is of free mercy, go now directly to the Cross and cast your guilty soul on Christ's divine blood. Confess your need of God's free forgiveness of sins through Christ's doing and dying. Plead not human goodness for you have none, but divine mercy and the merits Jesus alone. Plead earnestly and importunately and contritely with humility and resignation in Jesus' name, and you shall be heard. Never put your trust in anything that comes from you, but look only to Jesus. Appeal for mercy through Jesus' merits and blood. Free justification through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.

Pleading is the very marrow of prayer. Plead the blood and merits of Jesus instantly. The master-key of prayer is the blood and name of Jesus who died to save sinners and rose again, and now He ever lives in heaven to save unto the uttermost. Plead with God and fight your sins with hope in His mercy. Plead the promises of God in simple childlike faith. Go and plead your need before God, plead your sins, tell God you are wretched and undone without His grace and mercy. Plead the greatness of your sins as the reason for mercy, the damnable character of your sins, the certainty of your damnation. This is the way to plead - not your merits, but your misery, your sins, your guiltiness before God - these are the sinner's arguments.

The right way to plead is to plead your misery, impotence, and danger. Plead your miserable and undone condition. Confess your sin, own your guiltiness. Then come and plead the blood of Jesus Christ. There is no answer for your sins and guilt but Christ's atoning blood. Jesus came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance; He came not to save the good, but the ungodly. Christ justifies the ungodly - the unrighteous man Jesus make righteous through His own blood and merits.

Plead now, spread out your case before God, order your arguments, plead the precious blood of Jesus, set the wounds of Christ before the Father's eyes, bring up the atoning Sacrifice, mention always the Atonement of the great Substitute for sinners, look to Calvary's Lamb. Receive Christ's merits, and be emptied of your own. Salvation is the pure gift of God, not of your works, not the result of human merit, but of free favor only; not of man, but of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Leave off your doing, and let Christ do all for you; leave off looking to yourself, and just come as a lost sinner and look to Jesus.

Humble, contrite, importunate pleaders are heard in heaven. All your hope lies in divine mercy, for you have no merit. Take up your true position as a condemned sinner. Confess your sins, honestly plead guilty, admit your condemnation, heartily acknowledge your wickedness. Plead Jesus only. If you love Jesus keep His commandments, feed His sheep, give yourself to His service, promote His glory. Look to the finished Propitiation, the Great Forgiver, the living Mediator, the infinite merits of Immanuel. You must come to Jesus with nothing, and ask Him for everything - He is the way, the whole way, the free way, nothing to pay, nothing to do, nothing to be, nothing to bring, no human merits, no deservings, no preparations; the forgiveness of sins is all of grace; all the pure gift of God. The neglect of private prayer devours the strength of the Christian.

Only plead your misery, your inability, your danger, your demerit, your sinfulness. God only saves sinners by grace. Self-righteousness is an offense to God's gospel and an insult to the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Plead with God your miserable and undone condition. You are utterly lost without Christ. God's mercy is Free. Trust in Jesus Christ alone and you shall have free, instantaneous, perfect, everlasting, divine pardon; safety on earth, glory in Heaven, all for nothing, the free gift of a gracious God to undeserving rebels. Your need of a Savior is your only right. Plead your need, your sin, your wretchedness. Plead for God's mercy in the free gift of Christ. Plead with Jesus, the compassion of His heart. Plead Jesus' love and blood, not what you have done or hope to do. Only acknowledge your misery. You are a spiritual beggar who needs heavenly alms. The beggar's need is his best plea. Simple faith in Him who loved you and gave Himself for you saves the guilty soul. Away with self, cleave to Christ, let Him be glorified. The true suppliant will never mention his own righteousness. Sinners can never merit anything but eternal death, Eternal Life must be the free gift of God. Rags are the attire of a beggar. Your ruin and miseries are your arguments for mercy, not your good doings. Christ my Ransom died in my place.

This is how to plead - not your merits, but your misery, your sinfulness, your guiltiness before God. These are your only arguments. I can do nothing, I have nothing to bring. The right way to plead is "Guilty!" It is foolish for a beggar to plead that he is not in want. You are guilty, you need mercy, you have transgressed God's law, you need to be forgiven. Don't commit spiritual suicide. You are a guilty soul, you have no merits to plead, appeal to God's free mercy. God only freely forgives sinners through the infinite merits of Jesus Christ's sinless blood. Plead guilty to all charges, then plead Christ's Blood Atonement. Be doubly earnest in pleading with the Holy Ghost to have mercy on your soul.

You must be converted, repent, ye must be Born Again (John 3:7), and be purchased with the Savior's precious blood, and regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Only the Blood Atonement of the Lamb of God can satisfy the divine demands of God, and purge you of the power, guilt, love, and habit of sin. Away with 'all' your fancied good works, vain boastings, and empty religious doings. There was never a sinner saved yet who merited it.

Every sinner without Christ has no hope, no God, and he's no good; he is a wretch undone, misery incarnate, he is perishing and guilty, and his soul will soon be lost forever in outer darkness where there is no light, and in the the flames of hell where there is no hope of escape. Evolution is a fatal delusion of the grossest kind. Trust your soul in Jesus' hands, never build on your own righteousness, look only to the bleeding wounds of Immanuel (God with us). By simple faith and trust, Lay hold on the Gospel and Eternal Life, lay hold on Christ Jesus Himself the Savior of sinners. Simply trust in the Blood of the Crucified One. Never trust to anything but Christ Jesus.

Sin only breeds pride, and then misery and shame. Leave off loving your sins, for those darling secret sins of yours will drag you down into the pit of hell where you belong. Your own conscience tells you that you are guilty before God when you lie, steal, and lust. Your soul is covered with sin, and only Christ's Precious Blood take it away, only He can cleanse and forgive you. There is no hope for a poor sinner apart from the Cross of Jesus. Take care that you heartily plead the blood and mercy of Jesus Christ. A prayerless and thankless soul is a Christ-less soul. Your lost soul is teeming with sin. Simply trust Christ, simply trust HIM with your soul now.

Only the sinless bloody Sacrifice of the Lamb of God can satisfy the demands of God's divine law and justice. You must not trust in your doings at all, leave off your doing altogether, there must be a complete denial of all your doings. Stop trusting in yourself today. God be merciful to me a sinner, please save my soul for His dear sake who shed His own blood for my guilty soul. Cry out to God for mercy, plead with Christ for His free pardon of sin. Plead the precious blood Atonement of Christ for guilty sinners. God gives rich, free, unmerited mercy to underserving sinners who call upon Jesus' name.

Place all your confidence in the grace of God in Christ. God will never reject the sincere cry for the Blood of His dear Son. Come to the Cross as a rebellious and guilty sinner having no merit. Simply receive, believe, take and enjoy Christ Himself now. Plead for strength to do God's will. Plead the Sinless Savior's blood now. Use no other argument when you plead with God but the name and blood of His dear Son. Your soul is starving and in a case of destitution, a wretch undone, your need is your best plea. *Every day*, you are just the person who needs a Savior, confess your need, plead for mercy at the foot of the Cross.

The Divine Preposition

Here's a Heavenly English Lesson that's not taught in any school in America. In the New Testament, there is a Divine Preposition: *Through*. This preposition identifies the key points of the Gospel and directs us to faith in the person, name and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. When you leave this world and enter into Eternity, you will choose personally to go Through some-one or some-thing. Make no mistake, you must go Through something. Some will enter through their own concocted thoughts and conjectures about this life, sin, and the hereafter. Some will enter through Darwin, Buddha, Muhammed, or some other person or thing. Very many will enter the world to come through their own righteousness (water and works) and be damned, but the wise person will acknowledge God and enter Eternity Through faith in the Blood and Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh.

Through the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ *Acts 15:11*

The Resting Place

Life is very short, death is very near to you every day, Eternity is forever, your soul is immortal, you have sinned against God, God is just, He must punish all your sin. Who will answer to God for your sins? The Lord Jesus Christ or You?

Let your faith (trust) find a resting-place at the Cross of Christ. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Don't EVER trust in yourself, your works, or your religion. By grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Trust only the Bleeding Substitute; His bleeding wounds will take away your guilt freely. God became a man so He could suffer in your place. Jesus took all the blame for your sins – He bled and died for your sins, only God's blood can take away your death-fears and doubts. Christ died for the ungodly. 

 Jesus came to save lost and ungodly sinners, He shed His precious blood especially for you, for you His life He gave on Calvary's Cross. Only Christ’s Righteousness will deliver you from the eternal death you richly deserve. The Law of God demands righteousness from you, but you’re nothing but a sinner on your very best day, and you haven't a speck of righteousness to offer God, because you are a sinner indeed in thought, word, and deed. Your self-righteousness is damnable, and your self-indulgence is deadly and ruinous. Never trust yourself, only trust Christ Himself.

And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them. Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.  

Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.  

My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. But JESUS says, Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I AM meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

In Christ you will find forgiveness, reconciliation, salvation, and atonement. Come now, believe in Christ, exercise real reliance on His precious blood shed for ungodly sinners. Think of Him, desire after Him, seek Him, trust Him. Come as an empty sinner to a full, suitable, able, and willing Savior. Venture your soul upon Him alone, trust in Him for righteousness, life, and salvation. This is a kind invitation to lost sinners from the Savior who is willing to save, ready to to give relief from sin's burden and guilt, and give peace to distressed minds. 

You are laboring in the service of sin and Satan. You are weary of sin's bondage, and laden with guilt and iniquity. You are so burdened with a heavy load of unforgiven sins. Don't die unsaved, unconverted, and unforgiven. Your conscience is under the iron yoke of the law, you're trudging along with a load of silly superstition and human tradition to the Lake of Fire. You will have never rest in your spirit until you find Jesus Christ.

Religion may leave you outwardly clean but still inwardly guilty. Come to Christ aright, come as an empty sinner to a full and able and willing Savior, trust in Him wholly for real righteousness, life, and salvation. Come to Christ at the Cross, lay down your deadly burden of sin at His crucified feet, look only to Him, lay hold of Him by faith in His person, blood, righteousness, and atoning sinless sacrifice. Peace of conscience, ease of mind, saving of the soul through Christ Jesus' pardoning grace, free justification by the righteousness of Christ, full atonement of ALL your sins by His bloody sacrifice, eternal life through His resurrection. Truly sensible sinners seek rest at the foot of the Cross.

Salvation's work is finished once and for all by Christ Jesus. That is why salvation is a free gift, because you can't ever earn it. Are you there yet? Have you come to the place where you see that you cannot make it with your religion and self-righteousness? Religion is man's way of trying to justify himself by his own works, and rejecting what Christ did for him. Salvation is trusting Christ what did for you, because you know you can't work your way to heaven. Religious people think they can help Christ out, or make it to heaven without Christ. But always remember - You are so rotten and sinful and no good that Someone (God in the flesh) had to bleed and die in your place so you could make it to heaven by simply trusting Him. 

 Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - Christ died for the ungodly. There's not a just man upon the earth, which doeth good and sinneth not, every man in his best state is altogether vanity, all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin, eternal death, wrath, and hell fire. Trust only what Christ has done for you, Confide in His sinless blood atonement to save your soul from the love of sin. You must trust Christ's righteousness and reject your own self-righteousness. Have you done that yet? Behold, now is the day of salvation. When are you going to trust Christ Himself with your soul?

Christ is risen from the dead, and He is living in Heaven now, come to Him for free righteousness that will satisfy the holiness of God. All you have to offer Christ are your sins, and all He wants to give you is His perfect righteousness. Come now to Christ as a sinful soul, He will never cast out. He will take away your guilt with His blood. Come directly to Jesus and exchange your sins for His righteousness. Lean with all your heart and soul on Christ, trust His promises to save you, plead His precious blood - and He will save you freely and instantly. Life eternal is found only in God's Son (I John 5:11).

The Main Matter

Beware of that sin which you deliberately commit. Sin always ruins those who practice and love it. Beware that ye forget not God. Sin is a present certainty, it is a deadly reality, it exists in your thoughts, words, and actions - just ask a Judge or your mother or your wife, they'll tell you. The world makes Sin look beautiful and attractive, but it leaves you with bitter memories and an aching heart. Sin says it will answer and fulfill all your longings, cravings, and dreams, but it only dooms and damns you at the last. A little sin will never stay little. Sin deceives every man. Sin always complicates life. Sin always leaves you worse than it found you. Sin seduces you into thinking that what it is leading you into will satisfy you. Every atheist is hardened daily by the deceitfulness of sin. Imams, iftar dinners, ramadan, allah, the qur'an, the hadith, sharia law, 'aqueeda, and muhammad ibn abd allah only lead miserable sinners right off into the Lake of Fire.

Turning from sin is the main matter. Sin says you have plenty of time to repent. Sins says, you will be able to justify what you are doing - you can escape the consequences of your sin.   Sin promises pleasure, but it brings misery. Sin promises temporal profit, but it brings eternal loss. You think you can quit or repent of your favorite sin at your own will, but you can't. Sin makes you weak, a failure, and guilty. Sin promises satisfaction, but it brings unrest. Sin says your particular sin is not that bad. Sin promises freedom, but it only enslaves and brings death. Sin appears fair, but is vile; it appears pleasant, but is destructive; it promises much, but delivers nothing. 

Sin promises you popularity, but it brings loneliness and separation. Sin will tell you that you're different, and that the sin you are indulging in won't harm you. Others will fall but you won't, you know when to quit. The end of a life of sin is eternal torment in the Lake of Fire forever and ever. Just now simply believing on the Lord Jesus Christ is the main matter. Submission to the Gospel, Pleading Christ's Blood, and praying directly to Jesus Christ for mercy is the main matter. 

You have one soul, one body, and only one life - trust them all into the hands of Jesus Christ. Enthrone God in your life, seek to do His will first by trusting His Son with your sinful soul. You can only be reconciled to God by faith in the death and blood of His Son. From the heart believe that Jesus IS the Son of God, and that He died upon the Cross for sinners like you, believe that He can and will save you, trust Him to save you now.

It's not your attainments, it's Christ's Atonement. It's not your merits, it's Christ's Precious Blood.  It's not your tainted works, it's Christ's finished sinless work. It's not your trying, it's trusting Christ Himself. Without Christ's protection, you will have to endure the wrath of God and be separated from the love of God for all Eternity. Evolution is make believe and phony. Man loves the ways and wages of sin. Many today have an educated head and an empty heart. Every man by nature is born in sin and a child of the devil, and if you're not Born Again, you'll have to go to hell with your daddy the devil (John 8:44). 

 The main matter is simple faith in finished work of Jesus Christ - God manifest in the flesh. Sin will make you a miserable flop and leave you defeated and doomed. The accusations of your conscience haunt you every day. Depend on Christ for all things, and on Self for nothing. The Holy Ghost shows to you the rottenness and emptiness of sin. Trusting Christ Jesus' Precious Blood alone - this is the main matter. Atheists trust self, Christians deny self. Atheists trust Darwin, Christians trust Christ Himself. The only object of true faith is Jesus Christ Himself.

The one thing, the main thing, the only thing is that you cleave to Jesus Christ through thick and thin, through foul and fair, up hill and down hill, in the night and in the day, in life and in death, in time and in eternity; that you do steadfastly believe that Jesus of Nazareth who died upon Calvary's Cross is the Messiah of God (God manifest in the flesh), the Son of God, and that He was sent to cleanse away iniquity and bring perfect Righteousness to unrighteous men. All your hope and trust must be fixed in Him. Get to your knees, beg hard of Jesus, seek Him with the whole heart. Lean all your soul's weight on Christ now. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. To believe is to trust and simply rely on Jesus Himself, His shed blood and perfect righteousness. When you believe on HIM, you are saved forever.
