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,
which is sponsored by preacher Wayne Boyd and the dear brethren
in Christ, at First Baptist Church located in Almonte, Michigan,
USA. 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 is
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 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 find enclosed 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
and His unmerited favor to save me and you from our sins and
from hell. The Lord Jesus Christ is hated
and despised by the rulers with the sword, religionists with
their human traditions, and the multitudes with their lawless
violence. They all have one thing in common.
They care not what stars occupy the religious heavens of this
evil present world, provided his star, meaning the Lord Jesus,
is not among them. They will tolerate any kind of
religious leader other than the holy, sovereign, and impeccable
Christ of the Bible. All this will have its final
consummation in the days ahead. The following is a letter I wrote
to a dear lady about nine years ago, and I'd like to share with
you folks with prayer to Christ that he be exalted, and this
may serve as a serious warning to anybody listening that currently
is in an ungenerated state and who believe on lies. Just bear with me, friends. This
is done out of the fear of the Lord and with love of you, my
neighbor. Greetings there, Carol. For great
is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared
among all gods. 1 Chronicles 16 25. Earlier, I read the document
you sent and I'm saddened to report there's a terrible error
within. Please know up front, Carol,
that I'm not angry with you. I am, however, angered at those
false teachers who have taught you this unscriptural error,
one which is leading hundreds of millions, if not billions,
of professing souls astray from the true faith of God as found
in the Holy Scriptures. It is written, ye should earnestly
contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares who were before of
old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace
of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God
and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jude verses three through four.
Dear Carol, our Lord Jesus Christ did not die on the cross for
all humanity. And from the Holy Word of God,
I'll prove this to you. Remember, I was raised in the
ungodly false religion of potpourri. And this false religion claims
a universal salvation for all men, known as universalism. It
is what is considered to be Protestantism today as long since fallen from
the only true faith and clings to an equally damnable lie known
as Arminianism. Long ago, a false teacher named
Jacobus Arminius, born in 1560, thrust into the depths of hellfire
in the year of our Lord, 1609, introduced damnable teachings
which greatly corrupted multitudes, and to this day it still does.
It is a known fact that two Roman Catholic Jesuits of high rank
sent a letter to a certain Catholic bishop in which the Jesuits were
very pleased to report that they, while representing the Roman
monstrosity church state, were introducing Arminianism to counter
the Reformation. This letter was intercepted by
one of God's preachers of righteousness. one Mr. Augustus Toplady, who
went about warning true Christians of this deceitful tactic. One
of the heresies that Arminius introduced and embraced by Rome
was unlimited atonement, which falsely states that the atonement
is available to all. The truth of the matter is that
Jesus Christ's awesome death on the cross is a limited atonement,
as it is written, thou shalt call his name Jesus. A shortened
version from Joshua, meaning Yahoshua, the Lord our salvation. Thou shalt call his name Jesus,
for he shall save his people from their sins. Not all men
are his people, friend. Christ himself said to the lost
Jewish religionists, search the scriptures for in them you think
you have eternal life. And they are they which testify
of me. And you will not come to me that you might have life.
John 5, 39 through 40. And again, Christ says, murder
not among yourselves. No man can come to me except
the father which has sent me draw him. John 6, 43 and 44.
Please note that that word draw in the Greek literally means
drag. It is very important to understand
that God the Father's greatest glory is in the salvation of
sinners by Christ's perfect and finished work. Man's chief duty
is to glorify God for so great salvation. Hebrews 2.3, Arminianism
dethrones Almighty God and exalts the mere flesh and blood creature,
i.e. mankind. Modern false religion
celebrates decisionism and creates a false sense of security. Those
who follow these false teachings and teachers base their hope
that they walked an aisle, that they shook the preacher's hand,
that they prayed the sinner's prayer. that they rest in their
works, traditions, almsgivings, church attendance, Bible studies,
their prayers, et cetera, instead of solely looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12, two. Dear
Carol, this is a very important and serious topic. Consider that
in Matthew chapter seven, our Lord Jesus taught how a multitude
of professing Christians missed the mark by trusting in themselves
instead of fully committing and resting in Christ. Not everyone
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father, which
is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name
have cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful
works? And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work
iniquity." That was verses 21-23. The foremost crime of false prophets
and lying teachers is teaching another gospel, another Jesus. Please see 2 Corinthians 11,
4 and Galatians 1, verses 6 and 7. A reminder of that which Christ
said, He that doeth the will of my Father. Then said they
unto him, what shall we do that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered them, this is the work of God, that ye believe
on him whom he hath sent, John 6, 28 through 29. With John the
Baptist speaking by inspiration of the Holy Spirit saying, behold,
the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John
129. This speaks of the world of God's predestinated saints
who would be made willing in the day of his power. Please
see Psalm 110 verse 3. And brought to believe and rest
on Christ Jesus the Lord our righteousness. Those that deny
God's omnipotent power in saving poor needy and wretched sinners
by his unmerited favor, that is God's freely given sovereign
grace, are actually calling Almighty God a liar. They claim that Christ
died for all men ever born. The reality of the truth is that
most men will burn in hell forever. They claim that Christ Jesus
paid the price for their sins, but that these lost sinners still
end up in everlasting perdition. This is blasphemous, dear Carol. Long, long ago, a preacher of
righteousness wrote this poem. From whence this fear and unbelief
hast thou, O Father, put to grief thy spotless Son for me? And
will the righteous judge of men condemn me for that debt of sin
which Lord has laid on thee? If thou hast my discharge procured,
and freely in my place endured the whole of wrath divine, payment
God cannot twice demand, first at my bleeding surety's hand,
and then again at mine. Complete atonement thou hast
made, and to the utmost farthing paid, whatever thy people owed,
how then can wrath on me take place, if sheltered in thy righteousness,
and sprinkled with thy blood? Turn then, my soul, unto thy
rest, the merits of thy great high priest. Speak peace and
liberty, trust in his efficacious blood, nor fear thy banishment
from God, since Jesus died for thee. Apologize for the doggies
barking. I'm gonna pause this real quick,
dear friends. Okay, now it's quiet. Sorry about
that, friends. And that poem I read you was
from Augustus Toplady. When our Lord Jesus Christ said,
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. Probably the most widely known
Bible verse, John 3.16, of course. The Greek rendering of the two
words, the world, is cosmos, meaning an orderly arrangement. Warrior King David spoke of this.
He hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things,
and sure, For this is all my salvation. 2 Samuel 23 5. Remember
Christ was speaking to a religious Jewish cleric at the time who
was convinced that only Jewish people would be saved. For the
Gentiles were considered vile. Christ was speaking of all of
God's people whom he foreknew. that He would effectually save,
not only the Jews, but from amongst the Gentiles around the world,
and from all nations, tribes, and tongues, which were born
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God." John 1, 13. Not unto us, O Lord, not
unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy and for
Thy truth's sake. Psalm 115 1 remember Christ Jesus
high priestly prayer in John chapter 17 Carol where he prayed
unto Abba I pray for them meaning his people I pray not for the
world but for them which thou has given me for they are thine
in verse 8 This is helpful for us, Carol. Then came the Jews
round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make
us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us
plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not. The works that I do in my Father's
name they bear witness of me, but ye believe not, because ye
are not of my sheep. As I said unto you, my sheep
hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give
unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall
any pluck them out of my hand. John 10, verses 24 through 28. Christ did not die for those
particular unbelieving Jewish leaders, Carol, and they are
in the flames of hell today. It is said that the greatest
sin is unbelief, of which all are guilty until the Lord reveals
Himself to His people and grants them the gifts of repentance,
faith, and His grace. Here are a few comforting and
encouraging promises of God for the both of us. Neither by the
blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in
once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for
us. Hebrews 9.12, for by one offering
he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. being justified
freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus, whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through
faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission
of sins that are passed through the forbearance of God, to declare,
I say, at this time his righteousness, that he might be just and the
justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." Romans 3, 24 through
25. Salvation is of the Lord, Jonah
2.9. Entirely so, from beginning to
end, it is God's great salvation in its origination, in its effectuation,
in its application, and in its consummation. Man contributes
nothing to it whatsoever. All the Trinity are concerned
and engaged in it. The father is the author of salvation
from sin. Christ, the purchaser, the spirit,
the conveyor. It is the father who begets the
elect, James 1, 17 through 18. Yet they are declared to be the
seed of Christ, Isaiah 53, 10, while they are born of the spirit,
John 3, 6. Though it has many aspects and
may be considered from various angles, nevertheless, it is one
and the same salvation. That was from preacher Arthur
Pink. It is written in Isaiah 45, 22, where our Lord Jesus
Christ commands, look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends
of the earth, for I am God and there is none else. And the master
also says in Matthew 11, verses 28 through 30, come unto me all
you that labor 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. Friends, it is imperative that
you flee to Christ Jesus today, not tomorrow, for none of us
are promised another day on this planet. Today is the day of salvation. Call upon the name of the Lord
while he may be found and seek him while he is near. Only by
being in Christ, the ark of our salvation, may we be delivered
from the fierce wrath of almighty God, which is coming soon upon
the wicked. If you'd like to communicate,
