GOOD NEWS!

Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (06-08AUG21)

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 to save us- from our sins and from Hell:

Christ, All Our Righteousness!

When we review the fall of man in the garden, we discover how great was that fall and how infinite was our loss. We became corrupt, dying creatures; once strong, now weak; once healthy, now sick; once always living, now always dying. Pain, sorrow, sickness, and death is our lot. We lost happiness and became creatures of fear, shame, hate, and greed.

We can’t live alone and we can’t live together. We lost fellowship with God; our sins have separated us from His presence and His favor. We are not dying men spiritually; we are dead men! But underlying the whole matter is the sobering truth that in the fall man lost his righteous nature. God made man upright; but man became a sinner, a transgressor, a rebel, and an ungodly creature.

We have changed; oh, how we have changed;but God has not changed. The Lord is still the same in holiness, justice, and truth. What he HAS required, He STILL requires. He demands of the creature what He must demand. He commands
what men cannot produce, A PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS! Who shall stand in His presence? “He that hath clean hands and a pure heart.” What doth the Lord require of us? What He has always required – to fear God, to walk in ALL His ways, to love God and to serve Him in perfection with all thy heart and soul!

This is impossible! Of course it is, with you and me, BUT NOT WITH CHRIST! The Lord Jesus in the flesh fulfilled all that the Father required and satisfied His holy justice perfectly for all who believe. Jeremiah called Him “The LORD our Righteousness.” Righteousness cannot be found in us, nor in our works, nor in the law; but it is found in Christ.“I find no fault in Him”declares heaven, earth, and hell.

Oh, that I may win Christ and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is but filthy rags; but, with His spotless garment on, I'm as holy as His dear Son!

-preacher Henry Mahan

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...
