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. It is my hope
and prayer unto God most high, the only Holy Father, that his
only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, 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
and His unmerited favor to save me and you from our sins and
from hell. Romans 4.9 Cometh this blessedness,
then, upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? Colossians 2.8 Beware, lest any
man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions
of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Why this caution from the voice of inspiration? Our daily danger
makes it expedient. Lest any man beguile you of your
reward. Beware of men. Call no man rabbi,
saith the Lord. Lest any man judge against your
privileges, impair your comforts, or distress your mind. Here is
every blessing to make poor sinners happy. Righteousness imputed
without works, iniquities forgiven, and sins covered, sin not imputed. This trinity of blessings flow
from the unity of free grace. Such blessedness cometh free
as the air, unmerited as the light, comforting as the sun,
possessed by the unworthy, enjoyed by the ill-deserving, sure to
all the redeemed. inestimably rich privileges of
every believer in Jesus. Hear the wise God. In vain man
differ in judgment. Legal hearts are ever thinking
of obtaining a righteousness by works and pardon upon conditions. But God imputes a righteousness
without works, even the best robe. None but untoward children
find fault with the Father's gift. None but proud children
object to the Father's clothing. For thy righteousness, even if
perfect, O soul, is at best but the righteousness of a creature. But Jesus's righteousness is
the righteousness of the God-man, infinite in value, like his precious
blood, by which our sins are atoned. They are not imputed
to us, because laid upon Jesus. God pardons them in justice to
Him. Christ hath performed every condition
for us. Faith takes its views and forms
its judgments from revealed truths. So it is evidence in divine original. Thus it gives all glory to God,
while the sense of pardon is applied to the soul by the Spirit,
who comforts the soul in truth. and thus a living, vital union
is preserved between Jesus and His members through faith. from
a joyful sense of pardon, love is increased, holiness incited,
man is humbled, Jesus exalted, free grace glorified in, hope
encouraged, slavish fears rejected, and the heavenly inheritance
longed for as a free gift by Jesus. Thus all is of God, all
is of grace, all cometh freely. Even eternal life is the free
gift of God by Jesus Christ, who saith, Fear not, little flock,
it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke
12.32 And doth the Lord impute no sin? Art thou thus blessed,
O my soul? Spurn unbelief and Satan's wiles,
and let them not thy peace control. Reject the legal preying of those
who make God-debtor to their terms, who strip free grace of
its just due and rob God's glory of its charms. That was from
Old Time preacher William Mason. And here's some grace gems from,
I don't know if the man was a preacher, but his name was Christopher
Love. He lived from the year of our
Lord 1618 to 1651. Number one, grace is the understanding
that Christ is a better savior than you are a vile sinner. Number
two, I am now going from a prison to a palace. I have finished
my work and am now going to receive my wages." Spoken by Brother
Christopher moments before his execution. 3. If the Lord should
bring a wicked man to heaven, then heaven would be hell to
him. For he who loves not grace upon earth will never love it
in heaven. 4. Do not pour over the things
you lack, but upon the mercies you have look rather to God's
purpose in afflicting than to the measure and degree of your
affliction. 5. I would rather be a preacher
in a pulpit than a prince on a throne. 6. If the elect should perish, then
Jesus Christ should be very unfaithful to His Father, because God the
Father has given this charge to Christ, that whoever He elected,
Christ should preserve them safe, to bring them to heaven. The
following encouraging Gospel message is entitled, Regeneration,
Repentance, Faith, Conversion. The Holy Spirit quickens the
sinner with new spiritual life. He is thus born again. It is
a work complete at once, and one in which the sinner is completely
passive. This is regeneration. The sinner
knows not that he is born again, but by the results which are
manifested in the mind, heart, and life. His mind is enlightened. He becomes deeply conscious of
his personal relationship to God's holiness, to eternity,
and to the judgment to come. These are to him realities such
as they had never been before. He sees himself to be guilty
before God and deserving of eternal condemnation. This is repentance. His heart becomes restless in
consequence of his change of mind. He is weary and burdened
under a consciousness of guilt. He looks to Jesus' dying on the
cross as a sinner's substitute. He trusts in Him as his only
hope of salvation. And thus, with the heart he believes
and is saved. This is faith! His life is now
changed! The mind and heart being thus
affected, the whole current of his outer life is altered. The
man turns away from the ways of sin and turns to God. He becomes
a true disciple and follower of the Lord Jesus. This is conversion! In other words, 1. Regeneration
is the impartation of a new nature and is in Scripture terms being
born again. It is an instantaneous work of
the Holy Spirit, complete at once, though capable of increase
in vigor and manifestation. 2. Repentance is a change of
mind about our relationship to God, whereby we become conscious
that however moral or religious we may have been, we are really
without God and without hope in the world. We deeply sense
that we are guilty before God and deserving eternal condemnation. Number three, faith is the trust
of the heart in Christ crucified as the way of deliverance from
guilt and deserved condemnation. Number four, conversion is the
change of the outward life. Having received Christ, His Savior
the believer now serves and follows him as his Lord and Master that
was from preacher Thomas Moore from his outstanding book which
preacher Wayne Boyd Was kind enough to get to me and some
of the other brethren the name of the book if you want to write
this down friends its counsels and thoughts and for the spiritual
life of believers. And Thomas Moore's surname is
spelled M-O-O-R. Councils and Thoughts for the
Spiritual Life of Believers. Highly recommend it. Poor lepers in the sight of God,
in sin his people lay. But by the Savior's sacrifice,
he washed it all away. O precious cleansing fount for
sin, Atonement Jesus made! What wondrous wisdom, grace,
and love Are in His death displayed! The great redeeming work was
done! It is finished! Jesus cried.
And with His sacrificial death, Justice was satisfied. Worthy
the Lamb, who once was slain, Sings all the ransomed throng!
Thou hast redeemed us to the Lord, Shall be our endless song! Let's get real. There's an old
adage that says, let's get real. I take that to mean that it's
time to be truthful, to be realistic, to be genuine and honest. It's
time to get serious. Number one, let's get real about
who God is, holy, just, and righteous in all His ways. He is love,
He gives grace and mercy, and He is forgiving, but never by
compromising His holiness and justice. Number two, let's get
real about our deplorable condition. We read that each of us is a
sinner alienated from God because of transgressions against Him.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, Romans
3.23. And in Psalm 14.1, there is none
that doeth good, no, not one. It is for certain that no unrighteous
person will ever stand accepted before God. 1 Corinthians 6,
9, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom
of God? 3. Let's get real about salvation. The way of salvation is not by
works which we have done. Please see Titus 3, 5. I am the way, the truth, and
the life. No man cometh to the Father but by me, said the Master,
our Lord Jesus Christ. See John 14, 6. The Father receives
no one who does not come to Him through the appointed Savior.
To honor the justice of God and save poor sinners, the Son of
God joined His deity with our humanity, and as the Son of Man
lived in this world in full conformity to the demands of God's law.
He suffered the penalty for our sins, which is death. Christ
died for our sins, according to the scripture, and was buried
and rose again the third day, according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15, three through
four. Number four, let's get real about
death. People make jokes about death
because folks do not want to seriously consider the fact that
the end of our earthly existence is real and rapidly approaching.
It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this, the judgment."
Hebrews 9.27. No wages of sin is death, but
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hallelujah. Romans 6, 23. Number five, the gospel is the
only real message of good news for real sinners. I proclaim
real grace for real sins, which are really pardoned by the real
sacrifice of Christ. It is really true that those
in whose stead he died are quickened by the Spirit through the gospel
being preached to them. The Holy Spirit grants real faith
in the real Savior. Christ established a real righteousness
for all of His people, which is really imputed to each of
them. Let's get real! The Gospel is not make-believe,
it is real and it will be good news to all who are convinced
of their helplessness by the revealing power of the Holy Spirit
and made to know that they really need an Almighty Savior. The
Gospel announces a real salvation for all who believe on Christ
as He is revealed in the Scriptures. Do you really believe on the
name of the Son of God? That was from preacher Jim Byrd
of 13th Street Grace Church in Ashland, Kentucky, USA. 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.
The master also says in Matthew 11, 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 around
the world to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our
righteousness, Yehovah Sidkenu. Bless the name. Baruch Hashem. If you'd like to communicate,
