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 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 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. Flee to Christ! That page is
the brightest in which most of Christ is found. That sermon
is the brightest sermon in which most of Christ is heard. That
life is the brightest life in which most of Christ is seen. Without Christ, religion is a
sunless firmament. The home is no abode of peace,
and prosperity is an adverse flood. Without Christ, birth
is no boon, life is no gain, and death is a downfall into
an unfathomable abyss. Can I know this and not beseech
men to make Christ theirs? What a statement or question
preacher Henry Law a long time ago The Lord Jesus says something
asked a very important question in Matthew 22 42 he was surrounded
by a bunch of Unregenerate religionists and he asked them pointedly what
think ye of Christ and So I will ask you, what do you think of
Christ? Personally, I am ashamed of my
thoughts of Him. They are so poor and so unworthy
of Him. He is so great and so glorious
and so good and so gracious that I cannot think of Him as I desire
to. Do you inquire what I think of
His person? He is the chief among 10,000
and the altogether lovely one. He unites in himself deity and
manhood. All human beauties, all divine
in my beloved meet and shine. Do you ask what I think of his
works? It is perfect. His obedience is spotless. His
atonement is complete. His work of redemption is accomplished. It is finished. Do you ask what
I think of his love? Ah, here it is that I am most
at fault, and no wonder, for his love surpasses knowledge.
Its height and depth, its length and its breadth are immeasurable.
His love is free, unchanging, and eternal. It is unparalleled,
it is dying love. He loved me and gave himself
for me. Greater love has no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for his friends, but Jesus
laid down his life for his enemies. May you experience the love of
Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. And a reading
from Ephesians 3.19, and to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. That wonderful gospel message
was from an unknown preacher of righteousness. We have some
wonderful gospel gems from preacher Augustus Toplady. He was the
author of the hymn, Rock of Ages. Augustus was born in 1740 and
he went on to be with the Lord in 1778, the year of our Lord. Number one, grace finds us beggars
and leaves us debtors. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply
to your cross I cling. Number two, when Christ entered
into Jerusalem, the people spread garments in the way. When he
enters into our hearts, we pull off our own righteousness and
not only lay it under Christ's feet, but even trample it upon
ourselves. Number three, grace alone makes
the elect gracious. Grace alone keeps them gracious. Grace alone will render them
everlastingly glorious in the heaven of heavens. Number four,
The church of the elect, which is partially militant on earth
and partly triumphant in heaven, resembles a city built on both
sides of a river. There is but the stream of death
between grace and glory. Number five. greatest judgment
which God himself can in the present life inflict upon a man
is to leave him in the hand of his own boasted so-called free
will whoa I'll let the people praise the Oh God let the people
praise thee okay this message is a Outstanding short message
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. He was the disclosure
to man of what God is So man was left without an excuse Christ
came and showed God to man and man hated God with a perfect
hatred the fullest exhibition of Divine love was answered by
the fullest exhibition of human hatred resulting in the cross
That was from preacher Scott Richardson. In a reading from
Psalm 130 verses 2 through 5, Lord, hear my voice. Let thine
ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou,
Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with
thee that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord. My soul
doth wait, and in his word do I hope. A reading from Hebrews
3.14, for we are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning
of our confidence steadfast unto the end. What is the beginning
of our confidence? When I first looked to Christ,
I did not have any experiences I could look back to and have
confidence in. In the beginning of my spiritual
life, Christ was my only hope. I was nothing but a sinner needing
the Savior. False religion tells us that
it is fine in the beginning, but you need to progress past
that. But I find in my own experience
that I have not got an inch past that. You can criticize me for
all, For that if you want but the Word of God tells me that
I will be a partaker of Christ only if I hold the beginning
of our Confidence steadfast until the end the only peace this sinner
ever Experiences is that peace of knowing that although I am
nothing but a sinner Christ is all I need Only those who look
only to Christ are made partakers of him I think that message was
from preacher Todd Neibert There is no other savior but Christ
to look to, no other mediator between God and men to make use
of, and no other physician of value for diseased and sin-sick
souls to apply unto. No other fountain but his blood
for polluted souls to wash in and be cleansed. No other city
of refuge or stronghold for souls sensible of danger to flee unto
and be safe. No other... to come to as bread
of life where hungry souls may be fed. No other place of rest
for those who are weary and heavy laden, nor is there any other
where there is plenty of all grace and security from every
enemy as in him and therefore to whom can they recourse but
to him." That was old-timer theologian John Gill. or even John 660,
Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal
life, and we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ,
the Son of the living God. From the standpoint of God's
eternal decree, it may be truly said that believing sinners will
not turn away from Christ because they cannot. But from the standpoint
of the believer's experience, it may just as truly be said
that believers cannot turn away from Christ because they will
not. And this is not presumption. It is the simply saving childlike
faith and trust of a believing sinner, a true believer. The
desperate need of his soul can only be satisfied in Christ Jesus,
the Lord. That was from preacher Maurice
Montgomery. Now listen to this statement. It is hard to say which is worse,
the atheist who says there is no God or the lost unregenerate
religionist who maintains that God cannot do as he pleases. Think about that. Wow. A reading
from Psalm 148 verses one through four. Praise ye the Lord, sing
unto the Lord a new song. It is praise in the congregation
of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that
made him. Let the children of Zion be joyful
in their king. Let them praise his name in the
dance. Let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and
harp. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people. He will beautify
the meek with salvation. Salvation will God appoint for
walls and bulwarks. Isaiah 26, one. What walls and
bulwarks are to a fortress, an enclosure of safety. Salvation
is to the church and people of God. God's saints, those who
are born into his church and kingdom are kept eternally secure
in his salvation. The believer's safety and security
is not his will, not his works, not his worth, or not even his
faith, but God's salvation. We believe in the infallible
security, perseverance, and preservation of every believer because we
know that salvation is God's work alone. and a reading from
Ecclesiastes 3.14, and we know that whatsoever God doeth, it
shall be forever. Nothing can be put to it, nor
anything taken from it. And God doeth it that men should
fear before him. Hallelujah. This is our security. Until God's purpose, Christ's
blood, and the Spirit's work can be nullified, God's elect
are safe and secure. These are the walls and bulwarks
of salvation. 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.
And the master 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 you 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 to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our
righteousness, Yehovah Sidkenu, Holy One of Israel, HaKadosh
