Warm greetings, friends near
and far. The Lord Jesus Christ be magnified
forever and ever. His love and kindness is 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 Alamont, 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 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
and His unmerited favor to save me and you from our sins and
from hell. It will all end in mercy. Romans 8 28. And we know that
all things work together for good to them that love God, to
them who are the called according to his purpose. If you are a
sincere believer in Jesus, whatever may be your present difficult
circumstances, however trying, however perplexing, it will all
end in mercy. You may not think so now, you
may be writing better things against yourself. you may be
misinterpreting the designs of God's providence. You may be
doubting the precious promises of Almighty God's Holy Word,
but notwithstanding your mistakes, your doubts, your fears, your
false conclusions, it will all end in mercy. You do not think
so now, nor did Jacob once, nor did Joseph once, nor did Job
once, nor did thousands once, who are now in glory. They were
mistaken, and so are you. They judged by appearances, and
so do you. They changed their minds, and
so will you. All your troubles are appointed
in infinite love. They are all weighed out by sovereign
goodness. They are all limited by perfect
wisdom. There is no chance in what happens
to the Christian. Everything is divinely arranged
and appointed. Cheer up, my poor, weary fellow
traveler. You will soon arrive at home,
and then you will see clearly and enjoy sweetly the blessed
truth that to the believer all will end in mercy. take comfort,
poor afflicted fellow Christian. Your afflictions are God's furnace
in which he is refining you. He is only fitting you to occupy
a mansion in heaven and to sing the sweet and everlasting song,
the theme of which will be it all ended in mercy. Fear not,
poor, feeble, fickle, faltering follower of Jesus. Though your
faith is weak, though your fears are strong, though your doubts
are painful, though you conclude that your case is singular and
your condition hopeless, the year of release is at hand, and
then your doubts will expire, your fears will flee away, your
groans will be silenced, your feeble hopes will be realized,
for it will all end in mercy. My brother, are you in poverty,
under persecution, or in bodily sickness? Cheer up! Your light
shall soon break forth as the morning. Write it down in your
memorandum book or impress it upon your memory. Or what is
better still, pray the Holy Spirit to give you the sweet inward
assurance of the fact that it will all end in mercy. For we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose. Again, that was from Romans 8
28 and that outstanding message was from old-time preacher James
Smith The Christian knows no change with regard to God. He
may be rich today and poor tomorrow He may be sickly today and well
to tomorrow. He may be in happiness today
and tomorrow be in distress but there is no change with regard
to his relationship with God and If he loved me yesterday,
he loves me today. I am neither better nor worse
in God than I ever was. Let prospects be blighted. Let
hopes be blasted. Let joy be withered. Let mildews
destroy everything. I have lost nothing of what I
have in God." That was from preacher Charles Spurgeon. The security
of the righteous. If the Lord has brought you to
believe on his son, to trust him alone for all your righteousness,
acceptance and salvation, you may rest assured that you are
safe and secure in Christ forever. Hear the word of the Lord. And
this is the record that God hath given to us, eternal life. And
this life is in his son. He that hath the son hath life. And he that hath not the son
of God hath not life. These things have I written unto
you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know
that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name
of the Son of God. 1 John 5, verses 11 through 13. It is also written in Hebrews
13, five, let your conversation be without covetousness and be
content with such things as you have, for he has said, I will
never leave thee nor forsake thee. The prophet of the Lord
says of the church of Christ Jesus in Isaiah 62, 12, and they
shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord, and
thou shalt be called sought out, a city not forsaken. Romans 5
10 for if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by
the death of his son much more being Reconciled we shall be
saved meaning preserved kept safe We shall be saved by his
life speaking of the Lord Jesus The master says, my sheep hear
my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give unto
them eternal life and they shall never perish. Neither shall any
man pluck them out of my hand. My father, which gave them me
is greater than all. And no man is able to pluck them
out of my father's hand. I and my father are one. That
was from John 10, 27 through 30. Of the Savior, we read in
John 13, 1, to die in your place when you
are ungodly, you will never be forsaken. You are made the righteousness
of God in Christ. If he cared for you when you
were dead in trespasses and sins, do you think he will abandon
you now that you are born from above? If the Lord was found
of you when you sought him not, will he hide himself from you
when you seek his face? If the Savior suffered divine
vengeance in your stead when he bore your sins in his own
body on the tree, do you imagine he will desert you and charge
those sins back to your account? If God, in pure grace and with
no consideration of your work, works or worthiness chose you
unto salvation and wrote your name down in the lamb's book
of life before the world began do you suppose that due to your
sinfulness he will disown you and erase your name from the
heavenly register the psalmist said in 84 11 the lord will give
grace and glory He would never give grace, but
then withhold glory, because grace is glory in the promise,
and glory is grace in its fulfillment. Grace is glory in the seed, and
glory is grace in full bloom. May God graciously give all who
believe on the name of the Son of God that sweet assurance of
eternal acceptance by God in our Redeemer. who of God is made
unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
that according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory
in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1, verses 30 through
31. And that message was from preacher
Jim Bird. A sound warning to those who
despise almighty God and are filled with the gall of bitterness.
In Luke 4.28, we have quite a scene here. The masters preaching the
truth and the Jews, the priests, they all got very upset. It's
written, and all day in the synagogue when they heard these things
were filled with wrath. Human nature, how low fallen
in misery and wretchedness. Yet how high doth it rise in
pride? Though the meek Lamb of God is
the preacher of sovereign grace and distinguishing love, yet
the wrath of man dares to exalt itself against his doctrine.
Fury bursts forth like fire. Vengeance and resentment break
the bounds of the law of God and man and would have instantly
put Jesus to death. Pride is the firstborn of Lucifer.
when he said, ye shall be as gods. Hath tainted our whole
nature with the cursed leaven and will be the last enemy that
is destroyed in us. Out of the abundance of pride
in the heart, the mouth is opened against God's sovereign grace,
discriminating love, and divine dispensations. Be still and know
that I am God is a lesson the proud nature of man is a verse
to. I will be gracious to whom I
will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Exodus 33, 19. Those spoke from the mouth of
the Lord, yet the hearts of sinners rise in wrath against it. They
look with an evil eye upon the good pleasure of the Lord and
dare challenge and call in question his truths and his dealings with
the children of men. Disciple, this day, a real likeness,
a true picture of thy proud nature is presented to thy view. Behold
thyself in thy proud brethren. See thy natural aversion to the
sovereignty of God's truths and thy Savior's doctrines. All these
worshiping Jews, priests, as well as people, conceived wrath
even in God's house. Yea, their teeming hearts were
soon filled with it against Jesus, a man who told them the truth. The histories of the serapid
and widow in Naaman the Assyrian, they were well equated with,
but they could not bear the doctrine of them. King Hezekiah humbled
himself to the pride of his heart. Second Chronicles 32 26. Do we
not feel the stirrings of it also? Oh, what cause, what daily
cause for his practice? Stout words proceed from unhumbled
hearts. When our voices are heard on
high against God's sovereign determinations, it is a sad proof
that our hearts are not laid low with a sight and sense of
being guilty before God. Those who challenge God's purposes
have some plea founded upon their own imaginary goodness. As it
is written, be clothed with humility, for God resisted the proud and
giveth grace to the humble. 1 Peter 5, 5. Shall a man reply
against the Lord and call his maker's ways unjust? The thunder
of his dreadful word can crush a thousand worlds to dust. But,
oh, my soul, if truth so bright, Should dazzle and confound thy
sight, Yet still his written will obey, And wait the great
decisive day. Another old-timer preacher, William
Mason. Who has the preeminence? A reading from 3 John, verse
9. I wrote unto the church, but diatrophies, Who loveth to have
the preeminence among them, Receiveth us not. and from Colossians 118,
and he, meaning the Lord Jesus Christ, is the head of the body,
the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in all things he might have the preeminence. The word preeminence
means prominent or superior above others. There is a world of difference
in the above verses and the unity, harmony, and success of any church
or home lies in who has the preeminence. Diotrephes and Christ cannot
both have preeminence. This self-love principle must
be slain. From it arises self-pity, self-righteousness,
and selfishness. I, me, and mine are the three
worst enemies you and I have. When these are defeated and Christ
the Lord has preeminence, then God's proper order is in effect.
There is no discord where Christ has preeminence, but all trouble
comes when another tries to take his place. That was from preacher
Henry Mahan. It is written in Isaiah 45, 22,
where our Lord Jesus Christ commands, 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 from
around the world and make them willing in the day of His power
and draw them to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord,
our righteousness. Yehovah Sidkenu. Bless the name. Baruch Hashem. If you'd like to communicate,
