The Sinner's Plea – How Can a Guilty Sinner Find Mercy Before God?

What can a guilty sinner plead before a holy God? Will God hear the cry of a sinner who comes before Him seeking mercy? In this deeply biblical sermon, The Sinner's Plea, we discover the only hope of guilty sinners before a righteous and holy God: the mercy, grace, and saving power of Jesus Christ. The Bible declares that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is none righteous, no, not one. 

Our own righteousness, good works, religious activities, and personal merits cannot justify us before God. Our sins have separated us from Him, and we are unable to save ourselves. But there is good news for guilty sinners! Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. His precious blood is sufficient to cleanse from all sin, His righteousness is the sinner's only hope, and His unchanging priesthood guarantees that He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him. 

The Plea of Christ's Right to Show Mercy – Jesus Christ has all authority and the right to show mercy to whom He will. 

The Plea of Christ's Power and Ability – He is able to save completely because He lives forever and has an unchanging priesthood. 

The Plea of Christ's Precious Blood – His finished sacrifice is sufficient to redeem sinners and cleanse them from all sin. 

The Plea of God's Command – God commands all men everywhere to repent and believe the gospel. 

The Plea of Compliance With His Terms – The sinner comes confessing his sins, believing on Christ, and trusting Him as Savior. 

This sermon reminds us that grace is for the guilty, mercy is for the miserable, forgiveness is for sinners, and salvation is for those who need Jesus Christ. If you recognize your guilt before God and understand that you cannot save yourself, look away from your own merits and look to Jesus Christ, the only Savior of sinners. "God be merciful to me a sinner." –Luke 18:13  

May God grant us grace to see our need of Christ and rest entirely upon His precious blood, perfect righteousness, and saving mercy.

THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit." - Philemon vs. 25 [KJV] It is the regenerating breath of the Lord Jesus Christ which makes the soul alive unto Himself. This is manifest from His own language: "It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63) . Then for the first time "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit." For you will observe that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is not with our carnal mind: that ever remains the same, a body of sin and death, flesh, corrupt flesh, "in which dwelleth no good thing," and therefore not the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.   His grace is with our spirit, that "new man" of which we read that "it is after God, [that is, after the image of God] created in righteousness and true holiness." This is called our "spirit," because it is born of the Sp...

  "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." -Psalm 118:8-9 [KJV] "Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9c [KJV]    “We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” -David Rockefeller “There is a single theme behind all our work–we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control, it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it ….” “Our program in El Salvador didn’t work. The infrastructure was not there to support it. There were just too many people…. To really reduce population, quickly, you have to pull all the males into the fighting and you have to kill sig...

The Exceeding Riches of God's Grace in Christ JESUS

"That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness towards us through Christ Jesus." -Ephesians 2:7 [KJV] Pause, my soul, and gather in all the powers of arithmetic, and try if thou art able to count what the exceeding riches of God's grace amount to. Think how great, how free, how sovereign, how inexhaustible, how everlasting! All that a poor sinner hath in time, all that we can enjoy to all eternity, all is of grace. And what a title hath thy God chosen to be known by among His people, when, to make Himself known more fully in Jesus, He styles Himself "the God of all grace!" All grace? Yes, all grace, and all sorts and degrees of grace: pardoning grace, renewing grace, quickening grace, strengthening grace, comforting grace; in short, all grace.  And is all this treasured up in Jesus? Oh then, my soul, see that Jesus be thine, and all is thine. And mark this down as a sure unerring rule as grace hath no s...
