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

“ The salvation of sinners does not mean that God casts aside His justice and instead shows mercy. Mercy is never shown at the expense of justice, but rather on the basis of justice satisfied by the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ.” -Gospel report by preacher Jim Byrd Thirteenth Street Baptist church of Ashland, Kentucky USA Please find enclosed link to audio Gospel sermons & Contact Info: https://www.sermonaudio.com/source_detail.asp?sourceid=13thstbaptist

“ The true believer has conflict with the religious world. The greatest enemies of Christ have always been those who boasted of their knowledge of God. It was in the synagogue that the death of Christ was plotted. It was in the cathedrals that the reformers were tried and burned. It is in the churches and seminaries that the gospel of grace is denied.” -preacher Henry Mahan https://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?speakeronly=true&currsection=sermonsspeaker&keyword=Henry_Mahan

Our diligence in hearing God’s Gospel and honesty in self-examination will largely be determined by the value which we set upon our soul and its eternal interests. Alas, the vast majority of professing Christians today are far, far more concerned about their bodies than their souls, about carnal pleasures than spiritual riches, about the good opinion of men rather than the approbation of God. But a few, how few, are made serious, become in deadly earnest to hear and learn the Gospel, and to examine well their foundation, and test by God’s Word every inch of the ground they stand on. With the true believer the religion of the Gospel is not something to be taken up and laid down according to fitful moods. Where they will spend eternity is their all-absorbing concern! Every other interest in life sinks into utter insignificance before the vital necessity of making sure that they have “the root of the matter” in them. - Gospel report by preacher Arthur W. Pink

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." -EPHESIANS 1:3 [KJV] O, could our faith but embrace a little, were it only a little, and O, could we daily come and drink but a few drops of this pure fountain of immortal joy, in the sweet realisation of being blessed, already blessed, fully blessed, unalterably, irreversibly blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ, what strength and consolation would it impart to our often cast-down soul! Look at the words; examine them again and again; think over in your mind, one by one, the spiritual blessings that you most covet. Is it pardon? Is it peace? Is it the love of God shed abroad in your heart? Is it the spirit of adoption, enabling you to cry, "Abba, Father?" Is it communion with God? Is it the enjoyment of H is presence and smiles? Is it deliverance from every doubt and fear? Is it a large measure of H is...

M ALACHI 3:17 , “And they shall be Mine, saith the L ORD of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.” “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD Almighty, “in the day when I make up My jewels!” The promise of God is that His saints shall be as the jewels of a crown - yes, they shall shine in the Royal diadem! The Lord delights to call them His jewels! What a price has been paid for the saints - the Son of God purchased them with His own blood! Are they not valuable in His sight? How precious are those whom Jehovah calls His jewels! Bought with such an inestimable price! But the saints are likened unto jewels, also because our souls need cutting and purifying. A diamond seems to be a mere pebble - until the jeweler’s hands give it shape and smoothness. Skill and patient toil so transform it, that everyone takes pleasure it its beauty and brightness. Likewise is it with our souls. Divine grac...

Rejoice, ye saints, in every state, Divine decrees remain unmoved; No turns of providence abate God’s care for those He once has loved. Firmer than heaven His covenant stands, Though earth should shake and skies depart. You’re safe in your Redeemer’s hands, Who bears your names upon His heart. Our Surety knows for whom He stood And gave Himself a sacrifice: The souls once sprinkled with His blood, Possess a life that never dies. Though darkness spread around our tent, Though fear prevail and joy decline, God will not of His oath repent: Dear Lord, Thy people still are Thine! -Tune "Just As I Am"

"Now our Lord Jesus Christ H imself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work." -II THES S ALONIAN S 2:16, 17 [KJV]   When the Lord is pleased to apply a promise, drop in a word of encouragement, speak home an invitation with power, He administers thereby consolation. It comforts the drooping heart; it speaks peace to a guilty conscience. And this consolation is "everlasting consolation;" for it flows from nothing less than such a source, viz. the eternal love of God; and flows onward to an everlasting ocean of infinite delight. Any intimation of an interest in the everlasting love of God is a blessing beyond all price; for the Lord never gives any such intimation but as a certain pledge, earnest, and foretaste of immortal bliss. He can neither disappoint nor deceive. Once blest, blest for ever.   We ma...
