Warm greetings, friends, near
and far. The Lord Jesus Christ be magnified
forever and ever. His loving kindnesses, tender
mercies, and compassions are new every morning. Great is His
faithfulness. His mercy endureth forever. This
is Senator Save 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 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, 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 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,
in His unmerited favor, to save me and you from our sins and
from hell. Hallelujah! Praise the Savior
for an old eternity. He, our Savior, pledged to save
us. Christ from sin would set us
free. Jesus left His throne of glory,
came into this world of woe, satisfied His law and justice
to pay all the debts we owe. Hallelujah, praise the Savior.
By His blood and agony, He redeemed His chosen people, fully won
the victory. Jesus bruised the head of Satan,
put away iniquity, reconciled us to the Father when He died
on Calvary. Hallelujah, praise the Savior. On Him all our hopes depend.
Prophet, priest, and King of glory, He's the true and faithful
friend. Robed in pure and righteous garments,
Soon in heaven we shall be, Then with all the ransomed army Praise
His name eternally." A reading from Revelation 12, 10,
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation! Salvation? What salvation? Salvation by grace, full and
free. Salvation without any inner mixture
of creature righteousness. Salvation gushing from the bosom
of God. Salvation flowing wholly and
solely through the blood of the Lamb. But salvation can never
be tasted without a previous foretaste of condemnation. Heaven
can never be looked up into before there has been a looking down
into the wicked gate of hell. There must have been an experience
of guilt before there can be the enjoyment of pardon. now
is come salvation from what from the accusations of satan the
curses of the law the fear of death the terrors of hell and
sentence of damnation and how does salvation come whilst the
battle is going on whilst the issue is doubtful whilst hand
to hand foot to foot and shoulder to shoulder satan and this and
the soul are engaged in deadly strife. There is no felt experience
of salvation. There may be hope, enabling the
soldier to stand his ground. There is no shout of victory
till the enemy is put to flight. But when Satan is defeated, his
accusation silenced, and the soul liberated, then is come
salvation. the sweetest song that heaven
ever proclaimed, the most blessed note that ever melted the soul
is salvation. To be saved, saved from death
and hell, saved from the worm which dieth not in the fire which
is not quenched, saved from the sulfurous flames of the bottomless
pit, saved from the companionship of tormenting fiends and of all
the foul wretches under which earth has groaned, saved from
blaspheming God in unutterable woe, saved from an eternity of
misery without hope, and saved into heaven, the sight of Jesus
as he is, perfect holiness and happiness, the blissful company
of holy angels and glorified saints. And all this during the
countless ages of a blessed eternity. What tongue of men or angels
can describe the millionth part of what is contained in the word
salvation?" Excellent message from old-timer preacher J.C.
Philpott. God alone exalted in salvations. My friends, do you love to hear
Christ lifted up and exalted as your all and in all? If you
do, you are willing to be made less than nothing and vanity
in yourselves. Professors of religion generally
do not like to be thus humbled. They love to have something to
do in whole or in part to recommend themselves to God. But the Lord's
salvation is not a mixture of grace and works. It is of free
and sovereign grace and received by faith alone, which is the
gift of God. It is not of works, lest any
man should boast. The Lord alone be exalted as
the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and
the last in the salvation of his people. Another old timer
preacher, John Kershaw, he wrote and spoke those words of praise
to the king way back in the year of our Lord, 1848. Unchanging
love. Having loved his own, which were
in the world, he loved them unto the end." John 13, 1. The Lord's
love for his people is, like himself, incapable of change. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday
and today and forever. Hebrews 13, 8. What a delightful
subject to dwell upon! The people of God are the love
of His heart, the eternal objects of His electing grace. The affection
He has for us will never cease and or change. He who said to
Jeremiah says in effect to all His people, Yea, I have loved
thee with an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness
have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31, 3. As a result of
that love, Christ became our surety in the covenant of grace.
It was for the objects of His love that the Son of God veiled
His Godhead in a clay tabernacle, and made Himself of no reputation,
and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the
likeness of men." See Philippians 2.7. It was love which led Christ
to give himself a ransom for our sins. As it is written in
John 15, 13, greater love hath no man than this, that a man
lay down his life for his friends. Also, it is written in Ephesians
5, verses 25 and 26, husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the church and gave himself for it, that he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. We magnify and praise the glorious
Redeemer for His great love to us, unto Him that loved us and
washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings
and priests unto God and His Father. To Him be glory and dominion
forever and ever. Amen." Revelation 1 verses 5
and 6. Since He finished the work of
redemption, which the Father gave Him to do, Christ now sits
on His throne of absolute sovereignty, from which He rules all things
for His glory and the welfare of His loved ones. It is certainly
true that many of His redeemed ones have already entered into
His immediate presence and see Him face to face, but He does
not love them any more than He loves us who still remain in
this veil of iniquity. Though we are corrupt inwardly
and we have spiritual enemies which assault us, nothing, I
say again, can separate us from the love of our Lord. Paul issued
this challenge in Romans 8.35. Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? It is His love which constrains
us to serve Him, and it is through His loving preservation that
we will persevere to the end. We are more than conquerors through
Him that loved us." Romans 8 37. And that outstanding message
was from preacher Jim Byrd of 13th Street Baptist Church located
in Ashland, Kentucky, USA. Do not be ashamed. It is written in 2 Timothy 1
verses 8 and 9, Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but be thou partaker of the afflictions
of the gospel according to the power of God, who hath saved
us and called us with an holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was
given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. If I truly believe
the gospel of God's free and sovereign grace in Christ Jesus,
I will not hesitate to be fully identified with those who believe
and preach that gospel in my day and in my area. Paul wrote
from prison to Timothy and cautioned him, do not be ashamed of the
testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. It is of no
use to brag on dead preachers like Spurgeon, Pink, and Bernard,
nor to drive miles to meetings in other towns while I refuse
to encourage, support, and identify with those who preach and believe
the gospel now in my area. Those who never suffer with him
will never reign with him, and those who wear no scars of battle
will wear no crown of victory. That was quite the message from
preacher Henry Mahan, circa year of our Lord, 1994. The importance
of knowing Christ. Please see Philippians 3 verses
1 through 11. I know that there are some things
that are important to us. There are some people that are
important to us as well. However, in light of our great
need of Christ, nothing else is that important. We need His
blood for cleansing. We need His righteousness for
acceptance. We need His intercession for
forgiveness. The list goes on. We need Him. As the woman with the issue of
blood said, if I can but touch the hem of His garment, I shall
be made whole. Without Him, we are lost, undone,
and unaccepted by the Father. There is no material thing or
human relationship that can supply my spiritual need. However, in
Christ, we are complete. In Christ, we have all that we
need to stand in God's presence accepted. I cannot express how
important it is to know Christ. All material things will burn
up and all fleshly relationships will be dissolved. However, Our
relationship with Christ will never be dissolved nor diminished,
and it will only grow sweeter. Judge the importance of everything
in light of Christ." Good message from preacher John Chapman. 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. The master, Christ Jesus, says
also in Matthew 11, verses 28 through 30, come unto me, all
ye 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
Jesus Christ 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. This about wraps up this evening's
broadcast. I trust Almighty God will awaken
His sleeping elect and draw multitudes of men, women, and children around
the world to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our
righteousness. Yehovah tzedkenu, bless the name. Baruch Hashem, Holy One of Israel. Hagadosh Yisrael, hallelujah. In the past, sometimes I would
ask for donations to sponsor future Storm Warning Shortwave
World Band Radio broadcasts. However, we're not going to do
that today. Friends, please prayerfully consider
giving folks a love gift. Help them out. Times are tough. 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.
