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 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. God's purpose is one because
he is of one mind. It is written in Job 23, 13,
but he is in one mind and who can turn him and what his soul
desireth, even that he doeth. There can no more be a new thought
or a new purpose in God than there can be a new God. Whatever God thinks, He ever
thought, always does think, and will continue thinking. Therefore,
whatever God's purpose, He always purposed, ever purposes, and
will continue purposing. Thinking and purposing are attributes
of rational beings. Whether created or uncreated,
the thoughts and purposes of the infinite God are co-eternal
with himself. God's thoughts and purposes are
absolute. If this were not true, no being
could possibly exist. The fulfillment of God's purpose
manifests the beauty of all his perfections. The God of the religionist
is measured by his own depraved standard. Depraved man reprehends
what he does not comprehend. He finds fault with election,
predestination, and other great truths related to God's sovereignty. In this manner, he stains the
excellency of the sovereign God with his thoughts and speech."
Tight message there from a preacher, W.E. Best. from Romans 9.20. Nay, but, O
man, who art thou that replyest against God? The sovereignty
of God in dispensing his grace to whom he pleaseth, in which
he oweth to none, ever has been a subject of contention. Unawakened
people with self-righteous hearts and stubborn so-called free will,
pride, rise with indignation of spirit, daringly call in question
the ways of God to man, and impiously reply against God as though he
had not an absolute right to do what he will with his own,
and confer his favors when and on whom he pleases. Genesis 3-5,
ye shall be as gods, says the father of lies. Our first parents
believed him. They have tainted our whole race
with this proud lie. Hence, the poet most sarcastically
says to repliers against God, snatch from his hand the balance
and the rod, rejudge his justice and be the God of God. St. Paul meets such. He puts a question
to them. He demands an answer from them.
Who art thou? The Lord in the sovereignty of
grace and with the glory of his majesty issues his royal proclamation
from heaven. I will have mercy on whom I will
have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Now who? Who art thou who darest to reply? What? Reply against God? What?
What thou, O man, worm of the earth, a creature of a day, born
like a wild ass's cult, without understanding, by nature a child
of wrath, dead in trespasses and sins, blind to thy own existence,
thou vain fool, thou child of pride and son of folly, dost
thou exalt thy ignorance and display thy enmity by opening
thy mouth against God, his truths and his ways? This is one of
the severest reproofs of the Holy Spirit and the whole Bible. Improve it. Remember that there
is a woe to him who striveth with his maker. See Isaiah 45
9. No, you have nothing. You can properly call your own,
but sin, that is the parent of ignorance and pride. Wilt thou
exalt these against the wisdom and grace of God? Shall our corrupt
reason reply against God, call him to an account for his ways,
and say unto him, What doest thou? Consider, have we not forfeited
all right to God's favor? Does any good thing dwell in
our nature to entitle us to His mercy? Oh, fall down and thank
God for the merciful gift of His Son, Jesus. Adore the riches
of His abundant grace, that at this present time there is a
remnant. According to the election of
grace, And if by grace, then it is no more of works. Otherwise,
grace is no more grace. See Romans 11, verses five and
six. While others wrangle in reply
against thy sovereign ways, O Lord, O bring my spirit down from high
to feed by faith upon thy word. Dear spirit, teach my soul the
truth. as it's in Christ my Lord revealed,
O thou my God, guide of my youth, my heart from every error shield. Good message from old timer preacher,
William Mason. The story of Jesus Christ. Who
is Jesus Christ? He is Emmanuel, which being interpreted
is God with us. Matthew 1, 23. He is fully God
and fully man without sin, and he is the salvation of his people
who were chosen and given to him by the Father before the
foundation of the world. Thou shalt call his name Jesus.
for he shall save his people from their sins. See Matthew
1.21. Why did he come into the world?
He came into the world as the surety of his people to substitute
himself in their place and pay their debt to God's law and justice. He came to establish the only
righteousness by which God can be just, to justify ungodly sinners. of the increase of his government
and peace, there shall be no end. Upon the throne of David
and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment
and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the
Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9, 7. Excuse me, friends. What did he accomplish by his
death and resurrection? He secured the complete salvation
of all his people for whom he lived, died, was buried in a
rose. He died because of their sins
imputed to him. They are saved and live forever
because of his righteousness imputed to them. They all shall
be saved because of what Christ finished on the cross. For by
one offering, he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified."
Hebrews 10, 14. Where is he now? He is seated
in the heavenlies, ever living to make intercession for his
people and keep them unto final glory until his return. Who shall lay anything to the
charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who
is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather,
that is risen again. who is even at the right hand
of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Thankfully so. That was found in Romans 8, verses
33 and 34. And that message was from preacher
Bill Parker. The remedy for broken hearted
sinners. Here is the sovereign remedy
for every poor, broken hearted, conscience smitten, hopelessly
ruined, hell deserving sinner. For everyone who owns himself
lost, who confesses his sins and judges himself. for every
weary, heavy-laden, sin-burdened soul. Here is God's own blessed
promise. The Lord Jesus Christ died that
you might live. He was condemned that you might
be justified. He drank the cup of wrath that
you might drink the cup of salvation. Behold Him hanging on yonder
cross for thee. See what He did for thee. Believe
that He satisfied on your behalf all the claims, the infinite
and everlasting claims of the throne of God. See all your sins
laid on Him. your guilt imputed to him, your
entire condition represented and disposed of by him. See his
atoning death answering perfectly for all that was or ever could
be brought against you. See him rising from the dead,
having accomplished all. See him ascending into the heavens
bearing in his divine person the marks of his finished atonement.
See him seated on the throne of God in the very highest place
of power. See him crowned with glory and
honor. Believe in him there And you
will receive the gift of eternal life, the seal of the Holy Ghost,
the earnest of the inheritance. You will pass off the platform
of nature. You will be a man in Christ. And that was from old timer preacher
C.H. McIntosh. 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's none else. And the master, Christ Jesus,
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
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 from
around the world to his only begotten son, Christ Jesus, the
Lord, our righteousness. Yehovah Sidkenu, bless the name. Baruch Hashem, the holy one of
Israel. Hakadosh Yisrael, hallelujah. In the past, I've sometimes requested
donations to sponsor the Storm Warning gospel message on worldwide
Christian radio, but I'm not gonna do that today. There's
a lot of hurting folks out there. Please prayerfully consider with
your loved ones putting a gift, a love offering, if you will,
to help out somebody or even an entire family who are in need. 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.
