Well, it's good to be here tonight friends and I have a message you're not gonna want to miss It's a timely message for a desperate day We live in a day We're all a society is merely a preview to hell as this generation is full of God-hating men and women who love their sins and are Consumed by their lusts as they crawl over each other's back on a mad dash to hell and call themselves Christians a sexual perversion is legalized and promoted by a nation that has Legislated God out of the country and let the devil have full control we have moral chaos in society and Spiritual chaos in the church as all the lines between right and wrong and good and evil or blurred by people intoxicated with pride and burning in their lusts this is the generation right before the appearance of Antichrist and all hell is breaking loose and that's a tell of my Messages evening friends all hell is breaking loose. It's breaking loose upon a land under divine judgment That sits on the verge of utter Annihilation and nobody seems to care the worst thing about this sad and tragic scenario is the reality of it and the absence of the preaching of the true gospel in the land a little truth with a lot of omission is what comes out of our pulpits today a Compromised church can't preach anything but a Compromised gospel and nobody can be saved by believing a fact about something You can make your decision for Jesus today and get your free ticket to heaven Stamped and join the church and find your place to sit in the sanctuary Each Sunday while you draw closer and closer to a Christless Eternity in a hell full of smoke and fire and heat and darkness Well, that's my introduction tonight friends on a very serious message on the solemn subject of Salvation if you are unprepared for eternity, where will you spend eternity? We have a land full of churches today who have no fear of God No awareness of God and no God consciousness in their daily lives It's just death and deadness everywhere as we spend hours discussing creeds and Dogmas while a nation goes to hell while we talk theology and play our little games Is there anybody out there who sees what I'm describing here? Or is it blind eyes and deaf ears that my message falls upon? I'm here to warn you friend that if you are not truly a saved Individual who is washed in Christ's blood and born from above Then you can take your church membership to hell with you when you die When you leave this world by death if you don't repent you will surely go to hell The apostate church has told a generation of people that all you have to do to be saved Is to only believe in Jesus and accept them as your personal Savior and this perverted gospel has produced a generation of church members who hate holiness or Strangers to the Holy Spirit and who have never experienced change through regeneration But before you can be saved you must hear the bad news about yourself Before you can accept the good news of salvation in Christ Jesus and the bad news about yourself friend is pretty bad in Romans man is described in the worst way as it is written There is none righteous. No not one There is none that understandeth, but there is none that seek after God The condition of man in his natural estate is described in the book of Job by the following description How much more? Abominable and filthy is man which drinketh iniquity like water That's you friend.
If you are a stranger to Christ You sin all you want to and see nothing wrong with it You rebel against the rule and reign of God in your life You don't want God to control you You think Jesus is a killjoy? You want things your way and on your terms and that includes your religion God to you is merely a Facilitator for you to sin more in your natural condition You were lost and without hope under the condemnation of a holy God in a waiting Sentencing to be carried out against you at a future judgment Where your sins will rise up before you in eternity? like specters in a haunted castle Your only hope is in the shed blood of Christ Jesus As a God called preacher It is my duty to warn you of your great danger of dying in your sins And being sent to a devil's hell. I will do everything I can While I still have breath in me to lay open to this generation It's awful sinful condition in the sight of a holy God You must get to Christ friend and get a saving interest in him Hear me now. Who is Jesus? I know you've heard of him Jesus came down here so we can go up there Listen friend my Bible says that a guilty sinner has one thing to do and that is to repent the way of salvation comes by Exercise and repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ if you will friend Come with me.
Come with me, please Friends in your mind's eye come with me walk with me friend to a hill outside the city of Jerusalem called Calvary There stands a cross Where the blood-stained Savior from sin the man Jesus who is the Son of God Jesus came into this world doing good healing the sick Giving sight to the blind yet. What happened? Do you know what happened to Jesus? Do you know friend? He was arrested Men cried away with him and the nailed him to a cross They drove nails into his innocent hands. They pounded them Hammered them into his tender quivering feet they nailed up the Son of God and Crucified him as a common criminal First he was stripped naked and beaten They made a crown of thorns and stuck it on his head Then they whipped him and spit on him.
They nailed him up on that bloody cross Look at that man on the cross friend. Do you see that man? Do you see do you see that man? Hanging on the cross He risen wiggles in pain and suffering Why to be my sin bearer to be my sin substitute? He takes on him the curse and wrath of the father So I won't have to he died for me. That's the only way I can get the stain of sin cleansed away in Revelation 1 5 it says Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood in Hebrews we read a Jesus as our sacrifice and substitute for sin but this man After he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever sat down on the right hand of God That's what Jesus did friend.
He is the friend of sinners No matter how big a sinner you are you can come to him He will accept you if you come to him He suffered and bled and died on that cross for sin So you won't have to pay the penalty for sin in the devil's hell He was buried in another man's tomb He was resurrected by the power of God and he rose again He appeared to his disciples and he ascended back Into the very heaven he stepped out of oh He sits now at the right hand of the father on a heavenly throne ruling in Authority and he earned that right by way of a bloody cross. Do you hear me friend? a bloody cross the old hymn says What can wash away my sins? Nothing, but the blood of Jesus. Oh Friends, I'm gonna wrap up this meeting tonight friends with a time for you to get serious with God And to seek him for the grace of repentance If you want to be free from the stain of sin You must repent and believe on Jesus Christ Listen to me as I say to you friend how God's love flows out to you That's a promise from the Word of God friends Listen, the cross is the place where wicked men sought to get rid of Jesus But by his death it becomes the place where his saving power Flows out to all who come in repentance Who come in repentance? Confessing they are sinners and own him as their Savior and Lord I'm gonna close our time tonight friends by singing a hymn.
I Want you to come to Christ and believe on him He is the only remedy and refuge for sin He can wash your sins away friend. There's enough saving power in the gospel to save you There's enough cleansing power in the blood of the Lamb to clean you The slain Christ who loved me and gave himself for me. I find salvation When Christ's life is laid down and applied to me so that when God looks at me He says when I see the blood when I see the blood Herein is love Not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins Listen to me friend.
