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,
which is sponsored by preacher Wayne Boyd and the Brethren in
Christ at First Baptist Church, located in Almont, Michigan,
USA. And God willing, this broadcast
will reach you, Lima Charlie, loud and clear. Excuse me, friends. 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 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. A reading from Isaiah 45 verses
24 and 25. Surely shall one say, and the
Lord have I righteousness and strength. Even to him shall men
come and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. And the Lord shall all the seed
of Yisrael be justified and shall glory. If the possession of heaven
could be obtained with only a single act of goodness, never to all
eternity should I find it. The Apostle Paul wrote by inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, when I would do good, evil is present with
me. Oh then for grace to know thee,
to love thee Lord Jesus Christ, to follow thee as my only good,
my hope, my righteousness, my portion forever. That was from
old timer preacher Robert Hawker. For whom did Christ die? Now, pay attention, dear people. Sit up straight. This is a matter
of eternal life unto those that believe what the Holy Bible says. And to those who refuse to believe
the following, it will be a matter of everlasting perdition. When
answering this question, we must be careful to base our answer
on what God's word, the Bible, says. And what does the Bible
say as far as for whom did Christ die? Christ died for his sheep,
John 10, 11. Christ died for all whom the
Father gave him, John 6, 39. Christ died for his people, Matthew
1, 21. Christ died for his children
who are his brethren, Hebrews 2, verses 12 through 17. Christ died for his church, Acts
20, 28. Christ died for his bride, Ephesians
5.25. Christ died for those chosen
by God in him, the elect, Ephesians 1.5. All of these are people
whom Christ ransomed and redeemed from every tribe, language, people,
and nation. Before the world began, their
names were written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and the Lamb, that
is, the Lord Jesus Christ, was slain specifically for them. How were they made known? They are made known by the miracle
of God-given faith in Christ, God-given repentance of dead
works and idolatry, and God-empowered perseverance in that faith, looking
unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. They are made known
by the righteousness they claim and confess, the imputed righteousness
of Christ. Romans 10 verses 4 through 10
They are made known by the song that they sing and they sung
a new song saying thou art worthy to take the book and to open
the seals thereof for thou was slain and has redeemed us to
God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and People
and nation that was Revelation 5 9 and that was from an unknown
preacher of righteousness The spirit always leads to Christ
Romans 8, 14, for as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God. If we who claim to believe in
Christ as our only hope of salvation want to have the assurance of
grace that only the Spirit of God can give, we must be led
by the Spirit of God. To be assured that we are led
by the Spirit of God, we must know to whom and where the Spirit
of God leads the children of God. The answer is that the Spirit
leads all of God's children to Christ for all their salvation,
forgiveness, righteousness, eternal life, and glory. The Spirit convicts
us of sins so that we can have no comfort of conscience but
in the blood of Christ. He convicts us of righteousness
so that we find none in ourselves but all in the merit of Christ's
obedience unto death as our surety, substitute, and redeemer. He
convicts us of judgment so that we have the assurance that we
have been judged for all our sins in the person of our surety,
the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. And therefore no charge
can be laid against us. We have Christ's righteousness
imputed to us by our heavenly father. Friends, please see John
16 verses eight through 11, Romans four, six through eight. in Romans
8, 33 through 34. Be assured that any spirit that
leads you elsewhere for salvation with all its benefits and blessings
is an evil spirit. God, the Holy Spirit, will lead
you to find peace and security as a child of God in Christ and
Him alone. That was from preacher Bill Parker
of Eager Avenue Grace Church, located in Albany, Georgia, USA. saved to the uttermost, Hebrews
7.25. Wherefore, he is able also to
save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing
he ever liveth to make intercession for them. One of the biggest
words in our language is the word uttermost. No one has ever
seen the uttermost nor traveled there. We have mapped the earth,
pinpointed the stars, and measured the distances between the planets. But in spite of all our knowledge,
no one has located the uttermost. The uttermost is like the horizon.
It's always further on. Our understanding of God's love
is like that. Just when we think we have got
a handle on it, it is then that we see that he loves us to a
deeper extent than we have yet understood or imagined. He loves
us to the uttermost. We read in John 13, one, having
loved his own, he loved them to the end. Literally, he loved
them to the uttermost. The fullness of his love is beyond
the next horizon. It is to the uttermost. His love
is always greater than we can fathom. Its fullest extent, the
uttermost, is always farther on. When we look at Christ's
incarnation and life of obedience on our behalf, our understanding,
helped by the Spirit, glimpses a measure of His love for us.
But we are so spiritually dull that it remains only a glimpse. When we look at the cross, we
continue to get a sight of His love, but again, we can't grasp
its fullest extent because the complete appreciation of His
love is always further on. We are loved to the uttermost,
but we have not yet arrived there in our understanding. Much as
we grasp the wonderful things of the gospel, we are faced with
a love that is greater than our comprehension, a love that is
always further on. Notice also in our verses that
we have a savior who not only loves us to the uttermost, but
who is able to save us to the uttermost. He saved us at the
cross, and now as our ever-living high priest, he richly applies
that salvation. When we look at the cross, we
see that He is able to save us because He did not save Himself.
He is able to save us because He took our guilt and condemnation.
He is able to save us because He satisfied divine justice.
He is able to save us because when He died, we legally died.
He is able to save us because He has loved us and paid for
us to the uttermost. But He did not leave things there. Our Savior High Priest is able
to save us not only because He died, but also because He ever
lives to make intercession for us. That same priest who died
on the cross is alive, never to die again. That same Jesus
who was buried in the tomb is now alive and lives to make sure
that His purchase is saved to the uttermost. And He is well
able to save. Many a doctor has wanted to save
a patient, but was not able. Many a parent has been willing
to transfer the suffering of their little child to themselves,
but they could not. The will was there, but not the
ability. The wonderful thing about Jesus,
however, is that he is not merely willing to save. He doesn't just
try to save or do his best to save, but he is able to save
to the uttermost all those who come to God by him. Christ Jesus
succeeds where everyone else fails. He saves to the uttermost. He saves with all sufficient
omnipotence. He takes us at our worst and
saves us to the fullest extent of His power and love. He died
for us and ever lives to ensure that everything He purchased
for us is applied. What an amazing gospel! Christ
died, Christ was buried, Christ is risen, Christ has ascended
to cosmic authority and now ever lives to make intercession for
us. He is alive and as such He guarantees
that His blood is applied to the believer. He ever lives to
pledge that we will be saved. Five bleeding wounds he bears,
received on Calvary, they pour effectual prayers, they strongly
plead for me. Forgive him, O forgive, they
cry, nor let that ransomed sinner die. Christ saves all who come
to him. He saves completely with an exhaustive,
all-encompassing salvation. The Christ of the cross is now
the high priest of heaven, interceding for us as the perfect mediator. Christ Jesus died on the cross,
but unlike the priests of the old covenant, His death did not
signal a cessation of his ministry. Jesus rose from the dead and
as our great high priest entered glory and presented us before
the father. And now, right now, he is guaranteeing
the entire purchased blessing that he obtained with his precious
blood. And that's the gospel truth. That was from preacher Miles
McKee. Precious Savior, friend of sinners,
we as such to Thee draw near. Let Thy Spirit dwell within us
with that love that casts out fear. Matchless Savior, let us
know Thee as the Lord our righteousness. Cause our hearts to cleave unto
thee. Come, and with thy presence bless. Open now thy precious
treasure. Let thy word here freely flow. Give to us a gracious measure.
Tis thyself we long to know. Come and claim us as thy portion.
Let us all find rest in thee. Leave us not to empty notions.
We must find our hope in thee. That was from the old gospel
hymn, Jesus Calls Us. 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. The
master also says in Matthew 11, 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
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 today to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our
righteousness. Yehovah Sidkenu! Bless the name! Baruch Hashem! If you'd like to communicate,
