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 Sinner Saved coming at
you with the following short evangelistic gospel message.
Sponsored by preacher Wayne Boyd and the brothers and sisters
in Christ Jesus 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 His
only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord of 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 times. 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. Upon a review of the last or
past year, I desire to confess that my unfaithfulness has been
exceeding great, my sins still greater, God's mercies greater
than both. My shortcomings and my misdoings,
my unbelief and want or need of love would sink me into the
lowest hell, was not Jesus my righteousness and my redeemer. That was from preacher and theologian
Augustus to Platy in the mid-1700s. Hebrews 7.25, wherefore he, meaning
the Lord Jesus Christ, wherefore he is able to save to the uttermost
all who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
intercession for them. When the strong blasts of temptations
blow, the swelling waves of corruptions lift up their heads. Satan casts
his fiery darts. The thunders of Mount Sinai roar. The law threatens wrath and destruction. Carnal reason pleads. Unbelief
pronounces hopeless despair on them. Happy for believers to
take up the language of faith expressed by the children of
God of old. We are not careful to answer
in this matter, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us
and he will deliver us. Friends, look at Daniel chapter
three, verses 16 and 17 and get a better picture. Admirable faith
and fortitude, a shining example of Old Testament saints worthy
to be imitated by New Testament disciples. Such a conduct yields
ease to the mind and peace to the conscience while it confesses
Jesus the only Savior. It gives him the glory due to
his name. And verily, according to their
faith, so it was. They were saved to the uttermost.
Though cast into the fiery furnace, they had the presence of Jesus,
and he delivered them out of it unhurt. Who can prescribe
bounds to the salvation of Jesus? He saves according to his ability. Who can limit that which extends
to the uttermost? Thou comer to God by Jesus, think
not sin is too strong in thee for Jesus to save thee from.
He is almighty to save, to the uttermost. Art thou not willing
thus to be saved? Verily faith longs for it, love
desires. Hope expects it. Stagger not
through unbelief. Our object of faith is a once-crucified
Jesus, an ever-living interceding man and mediator, and who is
also the omnipotent God. Is anything too hard for the
Lord? Why then should sin hold thee one moment under its power?
Why should it all distress thy mind? Nay, it could not before
thy unbelief. But it is not the strength of
Jesus. But is not the strength of Jesus the most powerful encouragement
for poor sinners to come to God continually? A throne of grace
is ever open. A God of love seated on it. Jesus
ever lives and always prays. A salvation to the uttermost. Perfection is promised. and the
infinitely powerful Jehovah able to affect it. Coming to God by
Jesus, oh, this is a sweet mystery for faith to feed upon, to be
nourished and strengthened by. We are confident of access, perfectly
sure of acceptance with Jesus. We are not left to perhaps or
peradventure because it is not founded upon ourselves, upon
what we have done or can do, but upon the eternal everlasting
love and unchangeable priesthood of Jesus. Christ overrules all
mortal things and manages all our affairs. On humble souls,
the king of kings bestows his counsels and his cares. Our sorrows
and our tears we pour into the bosom of our God. He hears us
in the mournful hour and helps us bear the heavy load. That
was old timer preacher, William Mason. all for us. Have you ever thought how much
God has done for us in Christ? In Romans 8.32, we read that
to save us from sin, God spared not his own son, but delivered
him up for us all. In Titus 2.14, we are told that
Christ gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity. In Romans 5.8, the apostle declares
that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Galatians
3.13 says that Christ was made a curse for us. Hebrews 9.12
states that He entered into the holy place, that is the presence
of the Father, having obtained eternal redemption for us. And if we trust Him for this
eternal redemption, we may read further in Hebrews 9.24 that
Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands,
but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God
for us. Romans 8 34 Asks who can condemn
the believer in? Christ since he the Lord Jesus
Christ is now at the right hand of God and maketh intercession
for us Hebrews 620 declares that our Lord entered the Father's
presence for us as our forerunner Hebrews 10 verses 19 and 20 therefore
encourages believers to come to God in prayer and having therefore,
brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us. Just think how much God has done
for us in Christ. He delivered his beloved son
to death for us. Christ gave himself for us, died
for us, became a curse for us, intercedes for us, entered heaven
for us as a forerunner, and consecrated a new and living way Into God's
presence for us so that we may come boldly unto the throne of
grace to obtain mercy And find grace to help in time of need
see Hebrews 4 16 if God before us who can be against
us? Romans 8 31 great message from
I think this guy's an old-timer preacher Cornelius our stam First
time I've ever read anything from that fella. Good job. Hebrews
2.2, we see Jesus. Fine sights of human pomp and
worldly grandeur captivate carnal minds and delight natural senses.
It is common to hear persons say in an ecstasy, oh, I could
sit all night to see a fine play. But one sight of the matchless
charms and dazzling glories of our Savior makes all things appear
mean and contemptible. We turn our eyes from them and
say, I put away these childish things. I have a heavenly object,
infinitely superior to such low, mean, perishing vanities. I know
one who, having heard that faithful minister of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Mr. Whitefield, when he first preached
in the fields upwards of 30 years ago, on being asked which he
liked best, to hear him preach or see Vauxhall, which, friends,
I imagine it's an actor or something. The man profanely replied, Whitefield
only preaches of heaven, but Vauxhall is heaven itself. Poor
soul. He was then blind to his want,
or blind to his need, I should say, of Christ and to his glory
and excellency. But to the praise of his rich
grace, that poor sinner is out of hell and can now happily join
the faithful in saying, we see Jesus. So then, the once profane
sinner is changed into the visionary enthusiast. Enthusiasm to see
Jesus Enthusiastic this that all are blind but rank enthusiasts
for the essence of the gospel the joy of sinners And the cry
of faith consists in this sight. What is life itself without it
for alas? We have lost all righteousness
holiness and happiness in ourselves But we see all these with heaven
and glory restored to us in Christ Oh blessed day happy hour joyful
moment When the sight of our inestimably precious Savior first
saluted the eyes of our mind and became the object of our
faith, it was the beginning of days. Yea, our birthday to eternal
blessedness. This site is a feast to our souls
all the year. We delight to begin the year
with seeing Jesus. We salute one another with, I
wish you a happy new year. What mean we, but I wish you
to see Jesus. What can make the year happy
without this? This creates heaven in the soul,
then it is a happy year indeed. But without this precious view
of faith, we can obtain no ease from the burden of sin. Therefore,
our souls must be miserable. This world can afford us no real
happiness. The thoughts of death will torment
us in the view of judgment, fill us with dread and terror. But,
O happy sinners, who can bless God with Simeon and say, mine
eyes have seen thy salvation? That was Luke 2, verse 30. I see Christ. He is all my salvation
and all my desire. Ye heaven-born, high-favored
souls, well may ye say. Time hasten on. Years roll round. Moments fly swiftly and bring
me to the full enjoyment of my beloved Savior and His kingdom
of glory. For we see Jesus, who saw us,
loved us, and pitied and saved us when dead in our sins, cursed
by the law, polluted in our own blood. We look back and see him,
an outcast babe, a despised man, crucified as a vile malfactor. Bearing our sins on the cross,
made a sacrifice for our souls and redeeming us to God by His
blood. We glory in Him as the only atonement
for our sins and our one righteousness to justify our souls. For He
is the Lord our righteousness, see Jeremiah 23.6. We look and
see Jesus crowned with glory and honor, pleading our cause,
interceding for our persons at the right hand of God and ever
living to save us to the uttermost. We look forward to judgment.
Awful day, we see a trembling world and a devouring God, but
oh, how bright the prospect shines. We see Jesus coming with power
and great glory to receive us to his kingdom, that where he
is, there we may be also. Do we thus see Jesus by faith
as revealed in the Word of Truth? Then we are new creatures in
him. We are called with Moses to endure every fight of affliction,
seeing him who is invisible. See Hebrews 11, 27. We are exhorted
to lay aside every weight in the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and to run with patience the race set before us, looking
unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. See Hebrews 12,
verses one and two. Thus we obey the will of our
Father who commands us. Behold mine elect, in whom my
soul delighteth. See Isaiah 42. And the father
said, my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3,
17. Jesus is the chiefest good. He
has saved us by his blood. Let us value not but him. Nothing
else deserves esteem. Jesus, when stern justice said,
man, his life has forfeited. Vengeance follows by decree.
cried, inflict it all on me, said the Lord Jesus. Jesus gives
us life and peace, faith and love and holiness. Every blessing,
great and small, Jesus for us purchased all. Jesus therefore
let us own. Jesus will exalt alone. Jesus
has our sins forgiven. Jesus' blood has brought us to
heaven. That was another great message
from preacher William Mason. 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 The
lord jesus says also 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 hearts and ye shall
find rest unto your souls for my My yoke is easy and my burden
is light 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 Christ. Maranatha.
