My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord

”That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” | Romans 10: 9-10

When it says, “They were all baptized of him in the river Jordan confessing their sins,” that does not mean prior to baptism they made a public confession of the sins they had committed.

It means they confessed they were so sinful they could only be saved by what baptism depicts!

My hope of salvation is that I was in Christ when He lived, died, and was raised from the dead.

I am so sinful I could not be saved any other way.

When men preach and believe that Christ lived for all men without exception, and died and was raised for all men without exception, yet some of those people will be in hell because they did not do their part, they deny the meaning of baptism, make salvation dependent upon human works, and deny the message of the Gospel.

While they are immersed in water, they have no idea of the meaning of baptism: union with Christ.

With God All Things Are Possible

”It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” | Mark 10: 25-27

Nothing more clearly reveals to us that salvation, sanctification, and redemption are the work of our God than to observe the efforts and failure of those who try to accomplish this work for themselves!

The disciples asked, “Lord, who then can be saved?”

He said unto them, “with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

Today Is The Day Of Salvation

”(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” | 2 Corinthians 6: 2

It is one thing to “wait on the Lord” in matters of providence, trial, and decisions regarding our plans and purposes.

”Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” (Psalm 27: 14)

But the command to repent and believe on Christ is in the imperative!

It is “NOW is the accepted time, TODAY is the day of salvation.”

Someone may say, “But I want to be sure.”

You can be sure that you are a guilty sinner, that you have no ability to justify yourself before God, that God sent His Son to save, that He is a sufficient Savior, and that not to believe this gospel is to make God a liar and presume on His patience!

Walk in THE LIGHT YOU HAVE, look to Christ now and confess what faith you have depending on Him to give you more faith.

Salvation Is For Sinners

”The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.” | Matthew 11: 19

The Pharisees called our Lord, “The friend of sinners.”

They thought to brand Him with shame and hold His name up to ridicule; but what they thought to be shame is His chief glory. He is indeed, “the friend of sinners.”

Thank God He is!

This is what makes the gospel good news.

This is no sham gospel that we preach, but it is real salvation for real sinners. It is real grace for real guilt.

We preach no gospel of merit for moralists.

We preach good news of pardon and forgiveness for men who are nothing, have nothing, and can do nothing!
