Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Psalm 6:8-10

Mercy is the Sinner’s Sole Request

The sinner who truly comes to Christ does not come to have his earthly problems solved nor to have his body and bank account healed. He comes to be saved from sin; he comes to Christ for MERCY. Mercy is the sinner’s sole request.

If you, as a guilty sinner, have not come to Christ for mercy and redemption from your sins, you have not come to Christ aright. When He has saved us and made us His own, whatever He is pleased to bring to pass in our earthly lives will be for our good and His glory.

Be it success or failure, sorrow or joy, life or death – HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT!

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR ME

• He assumed my human nature so I could partake of His divine nature (John 1:1, 14; 2 Peter 1:4).

• He became poor so I could become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9).

• He was born of woman so I could be born of God (Galatians 4:4; John 1:12f).

• He became the Son of Man so I could become a son of God (Luke 19:10; Galatians 3:26).

• He was born under God’s law and fulfilled it so I could be redeemed from its curse and so it could be fulfilled in me and so I could be liberated from the law of sin and death (Galatians 4:4f; Romans 8:1-4).

• He gave Himself for me so I could be presentable to God (2 Timothy 2:14).

• He was made a curse for me so I could be blessed by God (Galatians 3:13f).

• He was made sin for me so I could be become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

• He was condemned so I could be justified (Isaiah 53:11).

• He endured God’s wrath so I could enjoy God’s grace (Isaiah 53:4f; Romans 5:12-21).

• He died so I could live (Romans 5:8-10).

• He suffered the hell I deserve so I could enjoy Him in heaven (Psalm 18:4f; John 17:24).

• He saved me by His grace and gave me faith to believe in Him (Ephesians 2:8f).

• He did this for all who believe in Him. Do you? Pastor Daniel E. Parks

Salvation Is Of The Lord

“But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble” (Psalm 37:39).

What glorious and blessed truth that shines on every page of Holy Scripture. We as needy, great and guilty sinners need a mighty and victorious Saviour, who is almighty to save (Isa. 63:1; Heb. 7:25). The Lord Jesus Christ is the only answer and remedy for our sin. He is the Saviour that saves (Matt. 1:21), the Redeemer that delivers and justifies (Gal. 1:3-5; Rom. 5:6).

What a full and complete revelation God gives of His, so great salvation…it is ALL of the Lord (Heb. 2:3).

Notice each of these five words:

1). Salvation; is the total and complete deliverance from all our sin. From the penalty, guilt and power of sin to condemn us (Rom. 8:1; 32-35).

2). Salvation IS; because our great God is the God of salvation. God is love (1 John 4:8-10). God is good (Psalm 73:1). God is merciful and delights to show it to sinners (Micah 7:18-19; 1 Tim. 1:15).

3). Salvation is OF…Not of works, not of merit, not of the law but rather all of grace alone (2 Cor. 8:9; Acts 15:11; 2 Tim. 1:9).

4). Salvation is of THE Lord, there is just one way of salvation. Our Lord plainly said that He is The Way, The Truth, The Life, The Door, The Light, The Bread of life, The Good Shepherd, and The Resurrection and the life (John 14:6; 10:9; 8:12; 6:35; 11:25).
