Warm greetings, friends, near
and far. The Lord Jesus Christ be magnified
forever and ever. His loving kindness, his tender
mercies and compassions are new every morning. Great is his faithfulness. His mercy endureth forever. This
is Sinner Saved coming at you with the following short evangelistic
gospel message. And God willing, this broadcast
will reach you, Lima Charlie, loud and clear. It is my hope
and prayer unto God Most High, the only Holy Father, that His
only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our righteousness, be
greatly exalted, that His everlasting gospel be clearly proclaimed,
that the pride of mere flesh and blood men be humbled, and
that His elect saints be greatly encouraged, cheered, and comforted
in these evil and perilous days. Please consider having paper
and pencil handy to jot down the scriptural references for
your own follow-up study. And so we begin with the weekend
gospel message to follow for all hands. Heads up! Please finding closed encouragement
in so great salvation by the perfect and finished work of
our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy, and wretched sinners
by His sovereign free grace. That is to say, Almighty God,
in His unmerited favor, to save me and you from our sins and
from hell. A reading from Psalm 37 verses
three through seven. Trust in the Lord and do good.
So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires
of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord.
Trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass, and he shall
bring forth thine righteousness as the light, and thy judgment
as the noonday. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently
for him fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his
way Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass By the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous Romans 5 19 and a joyful truth to miserable sinners. Oh, that this word was ever upon
our minds, as the Lord says in Isaiah 55, eight, my thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith
the Lord. Our thoughts are to make ourselves
righteous by our own obedience and our ways are to be justified
before God by our own righteousness. But the Lord calls us to forsake
these unrighteous thoughts, as well as wicked ways, and to submit
by faith to his thoughts and his ways, to be made righteous
by the obedience of one Consider, this negative implies that no
obedience but one can make any sinner righteous. Oh, professor,
what art thou seeking after and striving to be and to do? What
is the end of thy praying, reading, hearing, communicating, striving
against sin, and seeking to exalt, excel in obedience? Is it to
make thyself righteous that it all proceeds from unbelief of
this truth? By one obedience shall many be
righteous, and by no other obedience whatsoever. Then say some, there
is an end to all good works. No, from the faith of this all
good works begin. There is indeed an end to all
the evil works of unbelief which are done to supplant the one
spotless obedience of Christ and making sinners righteous
to the establishing the filthy rags of man's righteousness. Taught by the spirit of truth
through faith, my soul naturally abhors this, the fallen man that
is. I firmly believe whatsoever is
not of faith is of sin. Romans 14, 23. An old ancient church article
stated, works which do not spring of faith in Jesus Christ have
the nature of sin. Hence, oh my soul, no obedience
of thine before faith in Christ can make thee righteous. Obedience
after faith doth not make thee righteous, for then thou art
made righteous by the one obedience of Christ. Settle this matter
well in thy conscience. The glory of thy God and the
comfort of thy soul spring from it. For it is positively asserted,
by the obedience of one, or the one obedience of the Lord Jesus
Christ, shall many be made righteous. The faith of God's elect takes
the comfort of this, and will love Christ, live upon His righteousness,
and give Him the glory of it. But who are made righteous by
Christ? one obedience. Many, the many
sons whom Christ shall bring to glory, see Hebrews 2.10. Even all who see themselves miserable
sinners and believe in Christ for righteousness unto justification
of life. What a glorious way is this of
making sinners righteous. It secures all the glory to Christ. It keeps the sinner humble before
him, dependent on him, and prevents all self-righteous boasting,
while it gives the poor sinner the greatest boldness with access
of confidence to God. It inspires warm love to Christ
and the cheerful obedience of faith." That was from preacher
William Mason. A reading from Psalm 73, 23. Nevertheless, I am continually
with thee. Thou hast holden me by my right
hand. All that went on before this particular verse emphasizes
the largeness of this statement of faith by our brother, David.
You see, although we can and do act as foolish men and women
sometimes, and walk in unbelief as well as just plain doubting
the care of our great God, we can, through his pure and free
grace, say, nevertheless, as here, we do care about how we
live in this world, and how we act before men, but
the sole comfort and help in time of need is not our works
or deeds or even our don'ts. It is the blessed union that
we have with the Son of God. He has promised never to leave
us nor forsake us. Even when Peter denied the Lord,
he just looked at him and accomplished what no sermon would have done. No, not a hundred sermons could
penetrate the heart and melt the soul as it did there. You
see, Christ will reign supreme in us and for us, or nothing
at all will help our miserable condition. I hope that I can
say, as David did so many years ago, nevertheless, I am continually
with thee. As one preacher would say, vexed
with the tempest within, look to the calm without. Yes, we
need to look without ourselves to find true and everlasting
righteousness and peace only in the Lord Jesus Christ. Good
message from preacher Drew Dietz. A powerful I will from the master. the Lord Jesus. I hate it when
people's I will doesn't amount to, as they say in Texas, a hill
of beans. Unfortunately, some people often
say I will when they privately mean I won't. But when it comes
to the I wills of Jesus, if we studied them would see that everything
he promised to do, he did, does, and will do. We can trust him
on that. Take the example, the I will
of salvation. In John 6, 37, Jesus says, all
that the Father gives to me, come to me, and he that comes
to me, I will in no wise cast out. Literally, I will never,
never cast out. We are the Father's gift to the
Lord Jesus, and He will never cast us out. Do you trust this
promise He has made to you? To come to Jesus means to trust
Him for salvation. Unfortunately, there are those
who think they are too unworthy to come to Him. If this is how
you think, I would remind you that Jesus Christ came to save,
not good people, but sinners like you and me, people who have
gone astray and have come short of the glory of God. Listen to
this I will statement and notice that there are no exceptions.
Jesus said, he that comes to me I will in no wise cast out. Not him that comes to church
regularly I will in no wise cast out. No. Rather we are to come
to him, to Jesus, the faithful Savior, I don't care how bad
you feel about yourself. Come to Jesus. He will not cast
you out. Come just as you are and take
him at his word. He will take those who are full
of sin. He will take the despised. He will take the rejected. He
will take those who have sunk low into the depths of wickedness.
Jesus has come to seek and to save that which was lost. See Luke 19 verse 10. What a powerful I will from the
master. He that comes to me I will in
no wise cast out. You are not so wicked that Christ
Jesus will reject you and that's the gospel truth till he comes
That was from preacher miles mckee A reading from isaiah 50
verse 10 Who is among you that feareth the lord that obeyeth
the voice of his servant? Servant that walketh in darkness
and hath no light let him trust in the name of the lord and stay
upon his god Lord help us to do so Praise to Jesus. To the Savior, reigning King,
honors to his name we bring. What a kind and gracious friend.
May his praises never end. May his praises never end. Not
to us, to Jesus be glory, strength, and majesty. Let his people now
arise. Praise the Lord of earth and
skies. Praise the Lord of earth and
skies. With His blood our debt He paid,
Full atonement Jesus made, For His death upon the cross, Saved
us from eternal loss, Saved us from eternal loss. Evermore Christ
reigns above, Author of redeeming love, There He sits upon His
throne, In a glory all His own, In a glory all His own. Finished means finished. Done means done. Our Lord Jesus
Christ, really, freely, fully, and forever redeemed is elect
by his substitutionary sacrifice on Calvary's tree. as it is written
by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified
by his own blood he entered once into the holy place having obtained
eternal redemption for us but now once in the end of the world
hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself
that good message was from preacher tim james I glory in the cross,
a reading from Galatians 6.14, but God forbid that I should
glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom the
world is crucified unto me and I unto the world. I gladly echo
the words of the Apostle and say that I too boast in glory
only in the cross of our great Savior. By glorying in the cross,
Paul does not mean that he boasted or gloried in the wooden beams
upon which the Savior died. Instead, he means the doctrine,
or the teaching, of the cross. That Christ Jesus, by his sacrificial,
substitutionary, and justice-satisfying death, saved His people from
our sins, and we therefore glory in Him and His death. I am a
sinful, guilty man, but the Spirit of grace has taught me that all
I need for eternal salvation is found in the Christ who died
on the cross. In His suffering and death, I
find the full forgiveness of all my sins, and discover that
His righteousness has been imputed to this wicked man. Christ bore
my sins in His own body on the tree, and because He bore them,
I do not bear them. Since my sins were taken away
from me and charged to Him, and since He bore them away into
the land of forgetfulness, neither the Savior nor this sinner bears
them any longer. As the hymn writer said, My sin,
O the bliss of this glorious thought, My sin, not in part
but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
O my soul. By His one offering for sins,
Christ honored the Father and perfected me and all those in
whose stead He died. My hope is in the cross death
of my Savior. I look to the Savior and His
once-for-all offering for sin, and I know that God has made
him to be my wisdom and righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
Having stated those blessed facts, Paul then declared, according
as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Holy,
holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was and is and is to come. Great is our Lord Jesus Christ,
and greatly to be praised. Take heart, friends. Our mighty
and glorious King of Glory is inbound for His afflicted saints. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus. Maranatha.
