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. 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 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. Salvation is of the Lord. Adore the God of endless days.
Lift up your voice to Him in praise. Sing of His free and
sovereign grace. He chosen, ransomed, quickened
race. The Father long ago decreed salvation
for His chosen seed. Unto His Son the Father gave
a host of sinners He would save. Praise ye the Son. Exalt His
name. He saved us from our guilt and
shame. He bought the people of His choice.
Lift up His praise with heart and voice. When far from God
and dead in sin, the Spirit wrought a work within. Since He our sinfulness
has shown, we trust in Jesus Christ alone. Saved by God's
free and sovereign grace, to Him alone salvation trace. Praise God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Spirit, three in one. Rejoice, accepted in
the Beloved, Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1, 6, to the praise
of the glory of His grace, wherein He, meaning our Holy Father,
hath made us accepted in the Beloved, meaning Christ Jesus. When Jacob was about to meet
his offended brother Esau, he was greatly afraid and distressed.
He sends a present to appease his wrath before he durst venture
into his presence. Peradventure he will accept of
me, says he in Genesis 32, 20. Now his hope was not founded
on the affection of his brother, but upon the favor which his
present should procure. He was not influenced by love,
but fear and terror. Hence his expectation arose only
to a purr-adventure, or as they would say, a shot in the dart,
so to speak. So it is natural for sinners
to conceive of and act to an offended God. Instead of believing
his gospel of free grace and confiding in his messages of
rich mercy in Christ, we are prone to think of sending presents,
of doing something to pacify God's wrath, and conciliate his
love to us. Some terms of accommodation,
some conditions of peace, we naturally think, and we hear
many contend for, must be fulfilled by us. This notion keeps the
soul always in suspense. It may flatter it with a purr
adventure, God will accept me, but there is not the least ground
for hope of acceptance upon such a human system. It springs from
the corrupt reasonings of man, is founded in the pride of nature,
whichever rejects the faith of the gospel. Happy for us to hear
what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his
people and to his saints. Psalm 85, eight. not because
of their prayers, tears, repentance, faith, or obedience, but for
an infinitely higher cause than all these, even because He loved
them and hath made them accepted in His beloved Son, Jesus. Here are no legal ifs and peradventures,
but the certainty and assurance of free love and unmerited favor. This is the most blessed, steadfast
anchor hold of faith. Its language is not what shall
I do to be accepted, but how shall I please my God who hath
made me accepted in the beloved? In this way only, God secures
all the praise and glory of his own grace to himself. The belief
of this expands the heart with love, fires the soul with gratitude,
excites to praise and influence to all true holiness. Hell may
terrify with horror. The law work wrath in the conscience. A sight of sin causes us to tremble
before God, but grace, the free unmerited favor of God in Christ
Jesus, that alone changes rebels to saints, subdues sin, mortifies
lusts, triumphs over all the curse and ruin of the fall, and
raises its happy subjects to the exalted heights of salvation
and glory. Happy those who know and believe
grace reigns through the righteousness of Christ unto eternal life. See Romans 5 21. content to be in Jesus's debt
for all, at sovereign grace's feet we prostrate fall. All glory
to the Lord that grace is free, else never would it light on
guilty me. Freed from law debt and blessed
with gospel ease, our work is now our dearest, Lord, to please
by living on him as our ample stock and leaning on him as our
potent rock. Good message from old timer preacher
William Mason. Search the scriptures. Believe
what I preach, not simply because I say it, but only if I echo
the word of truth. I proclaim that God is sovereign
over all things, doing what he will with his own. I declare
the total depravity of all men due to Adam's transgression.
I preach that before the world was made, there was an election
of some sinners unto salvation in Christ. I set forth the Savior's
substitutionary obedience unto death that satisfied God's justice
and redeemed those for whom he died. I assert the necessity
of the Spirit's regenerating power before sinners will repent
of their sins, their dead works, and believe on Christ. I maintain
that those whom God saves are kept from falling by His omnipotent
grace. I proclaim that Jesus Christ
governs the world, fulfilling the eternal purpose of Jehovah,
and that all things shall glorify His holy name. Now be like the
Bereans. Search the scriptures and see
if these things be so. Reference Acts 17 11. Everlasting salvation in Christ
Hebrews 13, eight, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today
and forever. Oh, the everlasting salvation
that we have in Jesus Christ. He is the same and will be the
same forever and ever. And the righteousness he has
wrought out for us is like himself. It is an everlasting righteousness. It covered our first parents.
It is true that they sowed fig leaves together to cover themselves,
but God rejected them, as he will reject our self-righteousness,
and instead clothed them with the skins of beasts that had
been slain in sacrifice. Abraham had to look to this Jesus
for righteousness, and so had the prophets, and so have we. It is an everlasting righteousness,
covering all the election of grace and ages gone by, covering
them all today, and that will cover them all tomorrow, making
them accepted in the presence of a holy God. As it is written,
we are accepted in the beloved, beheld all fair and perfect in
the Lord Jesus. As he respects the blood of this
salvation, it is the blood of the everlasting covenant. All the church of God in ages
past have been purged from sin in the blood of Jesus. And the
church of God at this day is looking by faith to the blood
of the slaughtered lamb. It will be the same to us tomorrow
and as long as we live. And when we have gone to glory,
we shall shout, victory through the blood of the lamb and the
word of his testimony. That blood will still maintain
its power. That was from preacher John Kershaw
in the year of our Lord, 1853. Noah, a preacher of righteousness. Noah lived in a most ungodly
time. Indeed, the wickedness of the
men and women of his time was so great that Jehovah destroyed
all the wicked in a deluge. You can read about that in Genesis
chapter six, verses five through seven, and also verses 11 through
13. But before he did so, he sent to them Noah, a preacher
of righteousness. See 2 Peter 2.5. Noah, a preacher of righteousness. What a title! He was not Noah,
a preacher of prohibition, one trying to outlaw certain practices
and those who practice them. Nor was he Noah, a preacher of
abstinence, one trying to make people refrain from certain foods
and drinks. Nor was he Noah, a preacher of
reformation, one trying to correct people. Nor was he, Noah, a preacher
of morality, one telling people what he thinks is right and wrong.
Nor was he, Noah, a preacher of religion, one trying to enforce
rituals that make people feel good about themselves. No, the
Holy Spirit expressly calls him Noah, a preacher of righteousness. But Noah was not a preacher of
self-righteousness, for no one is righteous in and of himself.
We are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are
like filthy rags. See Isaiah 64, 6. Nor was Noah a preacher of legal
righteousness, for no one becomes righteous through keeping God's
law, such as observing Sabbaths and abstaining from pork. By
the deeds of the law, no flesh will be justified in God's sight. And another way to say that,
friends, from Romans 3.20, is by the deeds of the law, no flesh
will be declared righteous in God's sight. Rather, Noah was
a preacher of God's righteousness, and God's righteousness is Jesus
Christ. Believers in Jesus Christ know
him as righteousness from God. See 1 Corinthians 1.30. And Jehovah,
our righteousness. See Jeremiah 23.5. Noah, the
preacher of righteousness, was a preacher of the Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Preacher of righteousness, a
declare of what you need before God. If you desire it, heed a
preacher of Christ. Noah's family did and Jehovah
saved them when he destroyed the wicked. See Genesis 7, 1. But remember also that all who
ignored the preacher of righteousness perished. Good message from preacher
Daniel Parks. It is written in Isaiah 45, 22,
where our Lord Jesus Christ commands, look unto me and be saved all
the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none else. And the master, Christ Jesus,
says 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 Sidkenu. Bless the name. Baruch Hashem, Holy One of Israel. Hagadosh Yisrael. Hallelujah. 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!
