FLEE TO CHRIST JESUS TODAY!




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 [HEBREWS ch. 11] was the evidence of God’s grace to and in him not the cause of it. 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 the time. He preached a hundred and twenty 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 it 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 by as Noah preached and men scoffed but the day came when the flood came. What were the inhabitants of earth doing? Eating and drinking, marrying and giving 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” [MATTHEW 24:39]. Like Noah, we preach Christ crucified, warning every man, urging all to GET IN THE ARK, trust Christ, His blood and righteousness alone. Look to Him and be ye saved. There is salvation in no other!

JESUS - Rock of Ages

Jesus remains the same in all ages. He is the One who is constant when everything and everyone else fails. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is our R ock [I SAMUEL 2:2 ] . In the Old Testament, in Exodus 33, Jesus is pictured as the Cleft Rock. In that chapter, verse 18 and following, Moses desired to see the glory of the Lord, but was told, "You cannot see My face; for there shall no man see My face and live.” And the Lord said, “There is a place by Me, and you shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by." Notice that as Moses stood upon the rock, the Lord hid him in the cleft. This wonderfully applies to us today! Believers are both standing on and hidden in Christ [COLOSSIANS 3:3 ] . We are both in and on the Rock. As life with its many bitter events presses upon us, ...

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s...

GLORY ALONE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

" Lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me." -Judges 7:2 [KJV] Thus the Lord reasoned with Gideon. He knows what is in man. He sees the pride of the human heart: how prone we all are to boast in an arm of flesh. The Lord is jealous of His own glory. Gideon’s army of two and thirty thousand, is brought down to three hundred. By this handful of men, and no more, did Gideon gain the victory of the Midianites. The Lord’s wisdom in this was, “Lest Israel should vaunt themselves, and say, Mine own hand hath saved me.”   But I have not transcribed the text right. There are two little words of great import, which I have omitted. Mind then, O Christian— against Me. Now remember, whenever thou dost boast of thy power, thy free-will, thy human goodness, thy works, ditties, conditions, and performances in order to be saved, thou art then, as it were, two and thirty thousand strong. Thou vauntest thyself against the Lord . Thou art gloryi...
