Column |“The Revelation Of Jesus Christ” • • wnen Uod saves a sinner, ttat sinner doesn’t know anything to do but be glad wnd just thank the Lord. I Jnow it was so when the saved roe. Are you waved? Practically Everyone is religious and goes to church. But that is wot what I’m talking about. 7m talking about knowing 4w Lord Jesus Christ as •your Lord and your Saviour. Salvation is a per jMnal matter, so personal •you feel as if you are the on ly one the Lord ever saved. A woman called me In question about that one 3vne; “you talk like you •are the only one saved.” aiy reply was: “I know the l&ord gave me a pardon, did give you one?” Friends, u want you to think serious ly about the eternal destiny ;,of your soul. You are an «e'ternity bound soul ^Whether you Uke it or not. •You will spend eternity in Jleaven or Hell. Where are 3JBU going? The greatest •thing in all this universe is Jjust to know the Lord Jesus ^Christ. Do you know Him? ■Why not? Do you believe St’s the greatest thing in the universe to know Him? Do -you? - now, me only way you Jan know Christ is for Him ■to be REVEALED to your heart. This no human being Jan do. What a tragedy it is •when a preacher says: “I 3dd so many sindera to ^Christ down at my church.” That’s a dam Shhble lie you preachers will "japswer for at the Great SVhite Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-12). That’s not japular but I run no ty contests. The ner is dead (Eph. ?:1) so there is no human •being that can make that hbmer alive, there is no Juman being that can lead •the sinner to Christ. Now O'ou are bordering on Jlaspheming the Holy ■Spirit by saying you led a ahner to Christ. ; It is the express work of •the Holy Spirit to make the ,sinner alive and show him Jls lost, ruined and totally •depraved state as a helpless creature, having sirengtn whatsoever to £et to Christ. You, nor I, or any other human being can .lead a sinner to Christ. • “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to than that are Jost” (H Cor. 4:3). C you don't understand the •Gospel I cany, it’s because you are lost That’s why SMi don’t understand me. ou are lost. If you were yaved you would unders tand. The Gosoel Is the iiividing line. Which side of JBe dividing line are you on? You say you don’t like my messages because they yre too pointed. Friend, you will come clean and come clear with God or go Jo Hell for your trouble. It •did my heart good this mor ning to hear the voice of my Jkte pastor bringing those pointed messages from the JVord of God. I rejoiced in the Lord. Are you rejoicing 5n the Lord? Not if you are J.M. Little fighting me. I’ve become a stone of stumbling for so many here. You cannot get to Christ for hating me. I would not be in your place for ten million worlds. The comforts of this life are all you will ever have. Yes, if my Gospel is hid den from you, you are lost. "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” (II Cor. 4:4). Satan is the god of this world and has every sinner blinded. But a gracious day comes when the Spirit of God shines the light of the Gospel into that darkened heart in the Face of Jesus Christ and you see for the first time that you are a lost sinner alienated from God. This is the REVELA TION that you are a lost sinner. In the first REVELATION of Christ to your heart, your lost state is revealed to you. In the second REVELATION of Christ to your heart you see Him (Matt. 16:17) as your Lord and your Saviour. Have these two revelations took place in your life? If not then you are not saved. I struggled for years in my religious profession trying to live a Christian life apart from Christ. Most of you are right there, to day. You are trying to live a Christian life without Christ. And as the days come and go you are more miserable. Stop trying to live a religious life apart from Christ! Admit to the Lord you are lost. You are going to admit to Him here or there that you are lost. It’s grace upon grace to be awakened to your lost con dition here! “For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God In the face of Jesus Christ" (II Cor. 4:«). This is the Faith through the blessed Holy Spirit shining the Light of Christ from Heaven into the darkened tomb of the sinner’s heart showing you your lost condition tht He might reveal His Son to you. Praise the Lord! This is how God saves every sin ner. There are no human works in it. Just think: God the Father on His Throne in Heaven says to the Holy Spirit: “Shine the Light in that sinner’s heart, He belongs to Me, My only begotten Son died for him." Has the Father said that in your case? He did in mine. And I’m glad and will never cease to thank and praise Him for His salva tion. I was dead and didn’t know it. No man could reveal my lost condition to me. That is a Divine work from start to finish. All down through the ages man has proved the theory of evolution to be the Devil’s lie. Man is waxing worse and worse, not evolving. Darwin is in Hell today. But if you fail to come to know the Lord, you too will join Darwin in Hell. These messages may seem stiff and hard, and I’ve been accused that way. But I love you, they come from a heart of love. I thank God for that man who was true to my soul. I invite you to continue to listen to my late Pastor, L. R. Shelton, with THE VOICE OF TRUTH each Sunday morning over WAGI fm at 7:30 a.m. and over WAGL at 8:00 a.m. 105 and 1560 on your dial. Listen for a blessing, the Lord may shine the Light in your heart for the very first time. May the Lord bless you is my prayer.
