Warm greetings, friends, near
and far. The Lord Jesus Christ be magnified
forever and ever. 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. 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, save me and
you from our sins and from hell. In the Lord's hand, the Master
says in John 10, 29, no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father's hand. Think, my soul, how eternally
safe and secure must the church of Jesus be, thus kept by the
mighty power of God through faith unto salvation. What shall unclasp
the hands of Jehovah? Who shall rest the weakest, the
humblest, the poorest of Christ's little ones from the holding
of his omnipotency? Why then art thou, my soul, so
frequently exercised with fears and doubts and misgivings? It
is the Lord's love that is the foundation of thy assurance,
and not the strength of thy graces. His own free mercy and not our
merit were the first causes of our calling. And what is it now
in thy present preservation but the same which holds thee up
and carries thee through every difficulty? As it's written in
Deuteronomy 33, three, yea, he loved the people. All his saints
are in thy hands. Precious Lord Jesus, it is enough. How shall a child of thine perish
when secured by such almighty support? Oh, to hear thy voice
in the soft whispers of thy love, comforting my soul as thou didst
the church of old. From Isaiah 49, 15 through 16. Can a woman forget her sucking
child that she should not have compassion on the son of her
womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will
I not forget. Behold, I have graven thee upon
the palms of my hands. Thy walls are continually before
me. That was from old time preacher
Robert Hawker. Flee to the ark, which is Christ
Jesus. It would be good for all to think
about that man, Noah, in the light of present religious thinking.
Noah was a man who wasn't seeking God, but God in grace found him
and made him the object of his grace in Christ. His faith was
the evidence of God's grace to us and in him, not the cause
of it. Please see Hebrews 11 and Genesis 6, 8. His preaching
was about righteousness, not about morality. politics or life
lessons. Being a preacher of righteousness,
he was the only true gospel preacher on earth at that time. He preached
120 years and didn't have a convert outside of his own family. His
was the only church on earth, but there were only eight members. He was a man of one message,
flee to the ark for safety. That ark was a type of Christ
crucified. And so he continued to preach
as he built at God's command. Can you imagine the ridicule
and scoffing he endured as he built a boat when there was no
water to float it in, no rain falling? Why did he do it? Because he believed God. He was
not broad-minded as most so-called preachers are in our day. He
boldly declared that there was only one way to escape the coming
wrath of God in the flood, the ark. There is only one way to
escape the coming judgment also sure to come upon this earth
and that is Christ who is the way. He is the true ark. Noah could not boast of how many
buildings he built or family life centers. No day after day
he preached the gospel of salvation in Christ alone, by grace alone,
through faith alone, Believe, get in the ark, fail to and perish
in your sin. Day by day passed as Noah preached
and men scoffed, but the day came when the flood came. What
were the inhabitants of the earth doing? Eating and drinking, marrying
and given in marriage. It was business as usual until
the day the flood consumed them. spiritually dead and oblivious
to the truth. They knew not until the flood
came and took them all away. So shall also the coming of the
son of man be. That was the master saying that
in Matthew 24 39. Like Noah, we preach Christ crucified,
warning every man, urging all to get in the ark. Trust Christ,
trust his blood, trust Christ's righteousness alone. Look to
him and be saved. There is salvation in no other. And that message was from preacher
Gary Shepherd. What has happened to the preaching
of the true gospel of God's grace in Christ? Occasionally, I watch
the local religious television station to see what's being preached
and what the local religious community is up to. The other
day I heard such an unbelievable and incredible statement of utter
outright heresy and blasphemy against God. I could hardly believe
what I heard. This is what the preacher said,
quote, God cannot save you unless you give him permission, end
quote. Such a statement reveals the
man knows nothing of the true and living God of the Bible,
for he preaches the sinner greater than the savior. The scriptures
teach that God is in charge in salvation, not mere men. Christ has power over all flesh
to give eternal life to as many as the Father gave him. Please
see John 17.2 and Acts 13.48. When the disciples asked the
Lord, who then can be saved? What did the Redeemer say? I
need the sinner's permission, God forbid, negative. He said,
with men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all
things are possible. See Mark 10, 26 and 27. The preacher who thinks God is
waiting upon the sinner's approval or disapproval to make salvation
possible is an ignorant, arrogant fool and a false prophet. The
so-called God he preaches is nothing more than an idol of
his own wicked imaginations. The God of the Bible does as
He will, when He will, with whom He will, and as He pleases. Whatsoever the Lord pleased,
that did He in heaven, and in earth, and in the seas, and all
deep places. See Psalm 135.6 and Ephesians
1.11. May God be pleased to raise up
voice in the wilderness to declare once again that salvation is
of the Lord, to declare once again man's total inability and
total depravity. Jonah 2.9 and John 6.44-45. And to declare again the Lord
Jesus Christ actually accomplished salvation for his people, Matthew
1.21. To declare again that the blood
atonement of Christ is all that God has provided and all that
he will accept, Hebrews 10, 14 through 17. To declare again
the effectual and irresistible call of God the Holy Spirit in
making us new creatures in Christ, 2 Corinthians 5.17. God will use the preaching of
the gospel. To call out is elect 2 Thessalonians 2, 13 and 14. The Lord Jesus Christ does not
need our permission to make his work effectual. John 19.30 and
Philippians 1.6. God forbid, what has happened
to this generation of religious folks? This verse explains it
all and what we are to do. As it is written in 2 Timothy
3.5, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. From such, turn away." Preacher
Tom Harding with that message there. Excellent. Friends, once
more, you are in yourself a hopeless sinner, though a believer in
Christ. Therefore, you should put on
Christ, who is our hope, that your soul may be strong, lively,
and joyful in hope. What, been in Christ so many
years, in self a hopeless center still? What, nothing in self
to cast the anchor of hope upon? What, cast the anchor within
the ship to hold it? Ridiculous! True, the grace and
hope is in the heart, but the object of hope is Christ. The
anchor of hope is cast into the wide ocean of God's love to sinners
in Christ. Oh, the working of that nasty
legal spirit which is ever seeking the pride of self, wanting to
entertain a good opinion of ourselves and to have something within
ourselves to trust in and which to glory. This spirit opposes
the glory of Christ and keeps us from putting on Christ as
our only hope and chief glory. That was from old-time preacher
William Mason, and that was an excerpt from one of his writings
entitled, The One Thing Needful to Make Poor Sinners Rich and
Miserable Sinners Happy. Look to this one grand thing,
that all thy confidence and all thy joy ariseth holy from Jesus'
person in righteousness. Let Jesus have all thy confidence. Faith brings nothing, for it
hath nothing. It casts itself wholly upon Jesus. amid all its guilt and fear and
tears. It is Jesus only to whom faith
looks and it is Jesus alone upon whom it depends. It has nothing
to do with self, neither our own feelings nor the exercise
of our graces. The miracle announced by the
gospel is that God comes to the ungodly with a mercy that is
righteous and in spite of all their depravity and rebellion
enables them through faith on the ground of Christ's righteousness
to enter into a new and blessed relation with himself. A reading
from Psalm 145. and a short reading from Psalm
147. He healeth the broken in heart
and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the
stars. He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord
and of great power. His understanding is infinite. The Lord lifteth up the meek.
He casteth the wicked down to the ground. He delighteth not
in the strength of the horse. He taketh not pleasure in the
legs of a man. The Lord taketh pleasure in them
that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 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 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 and Friends, it is imperative that
you flee to Christ Jesus today, not tomorrow, for none of us
are promised another day on this earth. 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 to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the
Lord our righteousness. Yehovah Sidkenu. Baruch Hashem. Bless the name. Forever and ever
