Friends, our Lord Jesus Christ is Salvation

All spiritual blessings that sovereign, gracious God has for sinners IN our Lord Jesus Christ, BY the merits and blood of our Lord, and FOR the glory of our Redeemer. Simply put, CHRIST IS SALVATION! It is Christ, not the cross, W ho saves. It is Christ, not the church, W ho justifies. It is Christ, not my faith, nor my confession, nor my profession, W ho unites me to God. It is the Master, not the mother, W ho is our Mediator. It is His blood that cleanses, His obedience that sanctifies, His love that will not let me go, His faithfulness ( not mine ) constant and steadfast, and His promise, spoken to Peter but true of every believer, "I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU." - Gospel report by preacher Henry Mahan Please find enclosed link to audio Gospel reports: https://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?speakeronly=true&currsection=sermonsspeaker&keyword=Henry_Mahan

RECONCILED!

“ And all things are of God, W ho has reconciled us to H imself by Jesus Christ, and ha th given to us the ministry of reconciliation” -see II CORINTHIANS 5:18-21 [KJV] Sometimes people say that Jesus came into the world to reconcile the Father to us, but that´s nonsense! It is not God who needs to be reconciled to man, instead, it’s the reverse, man needs to be reconciled to God . God has never changed. He was in the beginning what He is today. He has no need to apologize. It is man, on the other hand, who changed; it was and is man who sinned and sins. Man needs to be reconciled. People need to be brought back to God. For reconciliation, to take place, sin had to be wiped away. Which brings us to Jesus. Jesus was a man of prayer, but His prayers could not wipe away our sins. Jesus was a man of compassion, but the combination of His tears and empathy could not blot out the least of our sins. Pure and holy as He was, His presence could not take away our sins. To rem...

The Forgiveness of Sins

"In W hom we have redemption through H is blood, even the forgiveness of sins." -C OLOSSIANS 1:14 [KJV]   Of all spiritual blessings made known to the soul by the power of God "a knowledge of salvation by the remission of sins" is the hardest to be obtained, and most prized when got. How many poor tried, exercised, distressed souls are at this very moment sighing and crying for the manifestation of this one blessing. These well know, and some of them by the painful experience of many years' hard bondage and travail, how hard it is to get forgiveness sealed on their heart. Not that it is really hard on the part of God now to forgive, that is, in experimental manifestation; for it is already done to and for all the elect of God: "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath H e quickened together with H im, having forgiven you all trespasses" [COLOSSIANS 2:13 ] ; and again, "In W hom we have" (...

Divine Love

“ The terrors of the law have much the same effect on our duties and obedience as frost has on a stream: it hardens, cools, and stagnates. Whereas, let the shining of divine love rise upon the soul; repentance will then flow, our hardness and coldness thaw and melt away, and all the blooming fruits of godliness flourish and abound.” - Gospel report by preacher Augustus Toplady

JESUS CHRIST THE PREACHER

"I have preached righteousness in the great congregation" -P SALM 40:9-10 [KJV] There can be no doubt in our mind Who is speaking these words. The proceeding verses declare plainly that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming to accomplish God's will in the matter of our salvation. The book of Hebrews quotes these words and applies them to our Saviour Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:5-10). Truly, Jesus Christ is the only sacrifice for sin (Heb. 9:12) and the only Mediator between God and sinners (1 Tim. 2:5). But never forget that He is also God's Prophet to reveal unto us the only way of salvation (Matt. 11:27). Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the promise God made unto Moses in Deut. 18:18, "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I wi...

God's Pure Doctrine

"My doctrine shall drop as the rain, M y speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass." -D EUTERONOMY 32:2 [KJV] In the falling of the natural dew there is something soft, still, and gentle. We therefore read, "We will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground" [II SAMUEL 17:12 ] , that is, stealthily and unseen. It does not rush down like the pelting hail, but falls stilly and often imperceptibly; so that we scarcely know it has fallen, till we go out in the morning and see every blade of grass tipped with the sparkling dew-drops; by these bright gems we know that dew has fallen during the still hours of the night.   So spiritually, the kingdom of God is not in noise, rant, or wild excitement. The Lord was not in the strong wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in the still small voice [I KINGS 19:11, 12 ] . And thus there may be a great deal of religious fire, ...

The Best News!

“ Christ died for the ungodly” - ROMANS 5:6 [KJV] To redeem poor sinners, Jesus came down from heaven, put on the rags of our mortality, agonized, bled, died. Jesus is made His people’s substitute, burden-bearer, sin-remover, guilt-sustainer. Their debt is placed to His account. His riches pay the full amount. Sin is removed from the sinner, and placed on the Sinless. Their curse is rolled on Him, and He endures it, until no more remains. God deals with Jesus as the guilty one! He, as spotless Deity, receives imputed sins, and fully expiates them all. In the vicarious victim, God's justice is satisfied, and wrath expires. Jesus, in His life, in the garden, on the cross suffers their sufferings, dies their death, and so becomes their uttermost salvation! His pains are their pardon! His stripes are their healing! His agony is their recovery! “Christ died for the ungodly” [ROMANS 5:6 ] ! - Gospel report by preacher Henry Law (1797–1884 A.D.)
