GOOD NEWS!
Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (08-10MAY20)
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 -God's unmerited favor- from our sins and from Hell:
“Whosoever believeth that JESUS IS THE CHRIST is born of God” [I JOHN 5:1] and all who are born of God believe that Jesus is the Christ. The title THE CHRIST signifies anointed and includes all the offices of the Son of God. To believe Him to be THE CHRIST is to believe Him to that Prophet which Moses said should come, who has declared the whole mind and will of the Father. It is to believe He is that Priest which should arise after the order of Melchizedek and make full atonement for sin and effectual intercession for transgressors.
It
is to believe He is King of kings and Lord of lords, whom God hath
set over all things from all ages and for all time. This faith in
Christ is not a mere assent to the fact nor merely acknowledging it
as the demons have done [LUKE 4:41]. It is to believe with the heart
[ROMANS 10:9-10]. It is to bow the knee in repentance and to look to
Christ, trust in Him, receive Him as our righteousness, to rest in
His blood for cleansing, and to lay hold of Him as our Savior,
Redeemer, and Mediator. Such faith is far above and beyond the reach
of the human mind. It is the gift of God. It is the result of
regeneration and a new birth, for we must be drawn to Christ and
taught of God [JOHN 6:44-45].
