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

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -A CTS 4:12 [KJV] This was Peter's answer to those religious Jews who questioned him about the gospel message he preached in the temple.  He met these Pharisees at their point of rebellion. He plainly and boldly declared that there is salvation for sinners but only in the Lord Jesus Christ. Consider what the scriptures teach us about salvation in, by and through the Lord Jesus Christ: There is no other SAVIOUR but Jesus Christ to look to for salvation [ISAIAH 45:21-22; M ATTHEW 11:25-28; J OHN 14:6 ] . There is no other SACRIFICE but Jesus Christ to cleanse and redeem us from all sin [HEBREWS 9:26; I PETER 1:18-20; I JOHN 1:7 ] . There is no other SUBSTITUTE but Jesus Christ to redeem and justify us from the curse of the Law [GALATIANS 3:13; II CORINTHIANS 5:21 ] . There is no other SERVANT but Jesus Christ to honor and...

"Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." -M ICAH 7:19 [KJV] When God takes all our iniquities with His own hand, and casts them with His own arm into the depths of the sea, they will never come out of those depths to witness against the family of God in the great and terrible day. Your sins now may seem to be all alive in your breast, and every one of them to bring accusation upon accusation against you. This sin is crying out for vengeance, and that for punishment. This slip, this fall, this backsliding, this foolish word, this wrong action, are all testifying against you in the court of conscience. Do what you may, be where you may, live how you may, watch and pray how you may, keep silent and separate from the world or even from your own family how you may, sin still moves, lives, acts, works, and often brings you into guilt and bondage.   But if God has had mercy upon us He has cast all our sins with His own hands into the de...

When the apostle Paul was at Athens (see Acts 17), he was told that the gospel he preached was a new doctrine. How wrong his critics were! Evidently, they did not know that in the ancient Hebrew writings, CHRIST JESUS is the great theme. No sooner had sin entered mankind than the Lord God prophesied about the coming one (Christ) who would bruise the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15). From that point on, the tone was set. There was a deliverer coming. Consider how the following point, in types and figures, to this One who was to come. Here are but a few examples. Abel's Lamb : It was accepted as a substitute for Abel. It had done no wrong but was slaughtered for Abel’s sin. Likewise, Christ, the innocent one was slaughtered for us. Noah's Ark : All the people in Noah’s Arc were safe.  Likewise, all in Christ will be saved. Isaac was bound to the altar by his Father. Christ was bound to the cross, by His Father (see Isaiah 53:4–5, 10). Joseph was rejected and ...

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." -I C ORINTHIANS 1:18 [KJV] The preaching of salvation by the grace of God alone by the crucified Christ, the preaching of righteousness, peace and reconciliation by the blood of His cross, the preaching of a sufficient sacrifice and atonement by Christ offering up Himself on the cross in our room and stead is sheer nonsense to those who are perishing, whether they are in the church or the world. But unto us who are being saved by the power and grace of God, this gospel is both the power of salvation and a revelation of the wisdom of God. We see in Christ crucified our deliverance from the curse of the law, and we see in Christ crucified how God can be both just and Justifier of those who believe [ROMANS 8:1, 33, 34; 3:19-26 ] . - Gospel report by preacher Henry Mahan Please find enclosed link to audio Gospel sermons: htt...

"They that trust in the LORD" can never be removed from His heart’s love, nor out of the covenant of His grace, which is sure and everlasting; nor out of His family, into which they are taken. They can never be removed from the Lord Jesus Christ, nor out of His hands and arms, nor from off His heart, nor from off Him as the foundation on which they are laid. They can never be removed out of the state of grace of regeneration and justification. These abide in the love of God, in the covenant of His grace, in the hands of His Son, in the grace wherein they stand, and in the house of God for evermore. - Gospel report preacher John Gill (1697–1771 A.D.)

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom." -C OLOSSIANS 3:16 [KJV]   This surely means something more than merely reading the word in a careless, formal manner. It is "to dwell in us," that is, take up its firm and lasting abode in our heart, and that "richly;" not poorly and niggardly, but copiously and abundantly, unfolding to us and putting us into possession of the wealth of its treasures; and that in "all wisdom," making us wise to salvation, opening up to us the manifold wisdom of God, and how it displays itself in the great mystery of godliness.   Now we shall not attain to this rich and heavenly wisdom unless we search and study the Scriptures with prayer and supplication to understand what the Holy Ghost has revealed therein, and what He is pleased to unfold there from of the will and way of God for our own personal instruction and consolation.   We very easily fall off from abiding in Christ; no...

Oh precious Lord Jesus, cause Thy people to rejoice in Thy full and finished salvation. By Thee, all that believe, are justified from all things [ACTS 13:39 ] . Here then, Lord, give Thy people grace to rest. Let there be nothing wavering, nothing unsettled, in our faith because everything in the covenant of grace is "ORDERED, AND SURE IN ALL THINGS" [II SAMUEL 23:5 ] . Oh for faith, in lively exercise, to believe "the record God hath given of His Son" [I JOHN 5:10-11 ] . "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee" [ISAIAH 26:3 ] . Let all Thy faithful therefore of this present hour, as were the disciples of old, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus, and, like them, be filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. -preacher Robert Hawker
