Warm greetings, friends, near
and far. This is Sinner Saved, and the
following short evangelistic gospel message is sponsored by
preacher Wayne Boyd and the Brethren in Christ at First Baptist Church
located in Elmont, 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,
at His unmerited favor, to save me and you from our sins and
from hell! Praise you the Lord I will praise
the Lord with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright
and in the Congregation the works of the Lord are great sought
out of all them that have pleasure therein His work is honorable
and glorious and his righteousness and dearth forever He hath made
his wonderful works to be remembered the Lord is gracious and full
of compassion Psalm 111 verses 1 through 4 Our master, the Lord Jesus, says,
I am the resurrection and the life. Please see John 11 verses
24 through 26. When Martha spoke to the Lord
about her recently deceased brother, Lazarus, she said, I know that
my brother shall rise again in the resurrection. And the Lord
replied, I am the resurrection and the life. He is the source,
cause, and fountain of eternal life, hence the cause of resurrection. In him dwells all the full blessed
life of God. We live because we are in him.
Resurrection and life is not only an experience that Christ
purchased and bestows But he is our life because he lives
we live We can no more die than Christ can now die the Lord turned
Martha's thought from doctrine to himself Oh that God would
do that for all to whom I preach we can have The doctrine and
not have Christ the life, but if we have Christ we will know
and love the doctrine That was from old-time preacher Henry
Mahan Secret and revealed a reading
from Deuteronomy 29 29 and The secret things belong unto
the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong unto
us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words
of this law. There are many things that I
do not understand, cannot comprehend, and God has not revealed, but
He understands, comprehends, and knows them. I may not know
what he is doing, but he does, and I trust him. He is, and whatever
he does is right, because he is God. And we leave it there. Not with a sullen resignation,
but with joy and confidence in him. The secret things belong
to the Lord. But there are also the things
which are revealed. Whatever He has revealed, we
are bound to believe and obey. He has revealed that whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rather than
grappling with questions that we cannot answer, we are to call
on His name to save us. That can be said regarding all
that He has revealed. We are called upon to trust Him
in what we do not see and obey Him in what we do see. For grace
to trust him in what we do not see and to obey him in what we
do see That was from preacher Todd Nybert the miracle of salvation
The Lord Jesus Christ performed many miracles while upon this
earth he cast out devils healed lepers gave sight to the blind
hearing to the deaf and He raised the dead. While these miracles
certainly proved Him to be the Christ, they are also illustrations
of how the Lord saves sinners. Every sinner the Lord saves is
all these things, possessed by a devil, a sinful leper, deaf,
dumb, blind, and dead in sin. Salvation is a miracle of God's
sovereign grace and power Nothing more or less can save a sinner
But the power of Christ the word the truth and the gospel May
the Lord be pleased to perform a miracle today in your hearts
dear listeners That was from preacher Paul Mahan. I Three
times in this epistle to Titus, the Lord Jesus Christ is called
God our Savior. Paul believed in and preached
a divine Savior, not just a mere man, but rather the Savior, who
is Almighty God. His name is Jesus, Savior. Please see Matthew 1.21. Who
shall save his people from their sin? That declares his office. But let us not forget that his
name is also Immanuel, Matthew 1.23, meaning God with us. That
declares his nature. If you take away the deity of
Jesus Christ, you have no gospel, no good news to preach, no salvation. It is not that just some good
man died for sinners, but rather he who died in the room instead
of his people is God Almighty. Please see 1 Timothy 3.16, John
1.14, and Acts 20.28. He could not be our prophet,
priest, and potentate unless he is God our Savior. He could not be our wisdom, righteousness,
sanctification, and redemption unless he is God our Savior. Please see 1 Corinthians 1.30. He could not be our all-important
mediator unless he is God our Savior. 1 Timothy 2.5. He could
not be our only advocate with the Father unless He is God our
Savior. 1 John 2, 1. He could not be
our all-powerful surety unless He is God our Savior. See Hebrews
7, 22. He could not be our all-sufficient
substitute and sacrifice unless He is God our Savior. 2 Corinthians
5, 21. Hebrews 9, 12. Remember the words of old Simeon
Lord now let us thou thy servant apart in peace according to thy
word for mine eyes have seen thy salvation Luke 2 29 through
30 remember the words of Thomas my lord and my God John 20 28 I don't know what the Lord Jesus
Christ is to you But I know beyond all doubt what Jesus Christ is
to me. He is God my Savior Please see
Isaiah 45 21 and 22 that was from preacher Tom Harding True, acceptable worship in spirit
and in truth, true, acceptable prayer to the Heavenly Father,
and sincere, acceptable obedience are all the deep longing of a
redeemed and regenerated soul to express love and gratitude
to the Lord God who has saved that soul by His grace through
the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Spirit of God who brings
us to rest peacefully and confidently in Christ, who has redeemed us
by His blood, and who draws out our affections and our wills
toward God, enabling us to war against the remaining desires
of the flesh. This work of the Holy Spirit
within us will never die, and He will never let us completely
forsake Christ and go to damnation. As we read listeners in 1st John
3 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin for his seed
remaineth in him And he cannot sin because he is born of God
That message was from preacher Bill Parker Evangelistic justification
Is not the work of the Spirit of God on the heart of the sinner
implanting life in us and quickening the soul but the work of Almighty
God as a judge on the throne of justice, deciding on and adjudging
one to life, according to law and justice. It is not the infusing
of righteousness, nor a purging out of the inward evils of the
heart, but the pronouncing of one's justification with reference
to the charge preferred against him. Wish the reader or listener
in this case to understand distinctly that Justification is an external
act of God as a judge acting in a court of justice on the
case of The sinner and not the internal work of the spirit of
the heart on the heart excuse me God justifies the ungodly
that was from a preacher named Wilson Thompson And I just, something
came to mind. The Lord quickened me to Isaiah
33, 22. For the Lord is my judge. The Lord is my lawgiver. The Lord is my king. He will
save me of his own will. Many churches advertise themselves
as being able to make the Bible relevant for practical living
for today. The moment a man or church does
that, they become truly irrelevant. We make no attempt to make the
truth culturally relevant or package it in a way to make it
more easily or readily received. The Word of God does not need
our help. We preach God's Word in its naked
simplicity, knowing that of it is through His Word that life
is begotten. And from James 118, of his own
will begat he us with the word of truth. If we really believe
that, his word is all we will preach. Another one from preacher
Todd Nybert. It is written in Isaiah 45, 22,
where our Lord Jesus 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 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 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 around
the world from amongst every tribe, tongue, nation, and people,
and draw them effectively to His Only Begotten Son, Christ
Jesus, the Lord Our Righteousness, Jehovah Sidkenu. If you'd like
