"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

"HE WAS MANIFESTED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS; AND IN HIM IS NO SIN"     -I John 3:5 [KJV] Though He was made to be sin for us, when He bore our sins in His own body on the tree, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD NO SIN OF HIS OWN. He had no original sin, because He was not represented by Adam in the garden of Eden. He had no Adamic sin nature, because He was not descended from Adam. He is the Seed of the woman. His human body and soul were created by the Holy Spirit in the virgin's womb. And He had no actual sin. He never thought, felt, said, or did a sinful thing. "He knew no sin, neither was guile found in H is mouth." Our Savior "was holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners." In order for Him to be a suitable sacrifice for sin, it was necessary that our Substitute be without sin, innocent, righteous and holy. Our Redeemer had to be God. Otherwise He could not satisfy the law and justice of God. He had to be a man. Otherwise He c...

“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” -Romans 10:3 [KJV] It is not for ignorance, as such, that the Jews were condemned. If that were so, a simple theology lesson would have brought them salvation. Rather, it was what their ignorance led them to do that sealed their doom: they would not submit to the righteousness of God revealed in Jesus Christ. It is certain that if a man is ignorant of the righteousness of God, he cannot and will not submit to it. But it is also true that a man may be fully aware of the righteousness of God as revealed in the Gospel doctrine yet not submit to it. So subtle is Satan and so deceptive the human heart that one may actually think that his acknowledgment of the righteousness of God is his righteousness: h e may think that, because he believes the doctrine, and even publicly defends it, God accepts him. ...

“ That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord .” - I Corinthians 1:31 [KJV] What do believers glory in when they glory in the Lord? They glory in His holiness (Ex odus 24:15-17) . They glory in His grace (Lev iticus 9:22-23) . And they glory in His mercy ( II Chron icles 7:1-3) . What is the greatest display of the glory of the Lord’s holiness, grace, and mercy that the world has ever seen, and could ever know? The Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary! Holiness demanded a sacrifice for sin. Grace provided one, and Mercy poured the Blood of that sacrifice all over the sinners that God chose to save! “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Gal atians 6:14) . -Gospel report by preacher Gabe Stalnaker

I constantly try to drive home this point to our hearts: Go to Christ! Yet there are many who still will not go to Christ. I ask you this question: where else can you go? Where else can you go for forgiveness of your sin? It is “the blood of Jesus Christ H is Son cleanseth us from all sin” (I John 1:7) . Where else can you go for salvation? “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) . Where else can you go for righteousness? “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” (Gal atians 2:21) . Where else can you go for the water of life? “If any man thirst, let him come unto M e, and drink” (John 7:37) . Where else can you go for the way of salvation, the truth of God, and eternal life? “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by M e” (John 14:6) ...

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like M e, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all M y pleasure " -Isa iah 46:9-10 [KJV] Almighty God has decreed, fixed, and settled the end of all things from the beginning. God's foreknowledge of all things is always based upon His eternal and immutable decree ( Acts 15:18 ) . God is omniscient in all things (Psa lm 139:1-5) , that is one of His many essential attributes. God's foreordination of all things is His deliberate act by which He accomplishes all His pleasure (Rom ans 11:36) . Our sovereign Lord has decreed the end from the beginning of all things; here are some of them to meditate upon! 1). Christ Jesus is the end and fulfillment of all scripture prophecies and promises (Luke 24:25-27; 44-48) . All that was spoken and written by the O...

Good evening friends, Here’s an audio Gospel sermon of our Lord Jesus’ parable in Luke 15:1–24, entitled “Lost Sheep - Lost Coin - Lost Son” (26 minutes long).

It was very encouraging to me and I pray it’s a blessing to you too! https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=830717734 The LORD JESUS be magnified!

"The sovereignty of God is absolute. To acknowledge this truth is at once to acknowledge that God has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass; that nothing else can come to pass; that predestination is a fact; that God does rule in the kingdoms of men ; that all human ties, bonds and relationships are divinely appointed and formed; that salvation rests solely, fully and only in God’s election; that salvation is by God’s grace and His grace alone; and that no part of man’s salvation is of himself either in origin or execution. Where men get the idea that man’s will is the all-determining factor or moving cause of his salvation is hard to see. Certainly they do not get it from the Bible." - Gospel report by preacher Scott Richardson Encouraging Christ-honoring audio Gospel sermons here: https://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?speakeronly=true&currsection=sermonsspeaker&keyword=Scott_Richardson
