Salvation By The Will Of God - Part 11
iu ν " * ·" '
Ali over the religious world
it is preached and taught from
the pulpit and the seminaries
that men can have something
to do with his salvation and
that you can be Saved any
time you want to. "All you
have to do is just believe," the
average preacher will tell you
My friend, let's go to the Word
of God and let it speak to your
heart and mine about this all
important matter.
"He came unto his own, and
his own received him not. But
as many as received him, to
them he gave power to be
come the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his na
me: (John 1:11-12).
Man in his natural state
wills not to have Christ. And
left alone you will never come
to Christ. Why won't you have
Him? Because by nature you
are a child of the Devil and
have the same nature of the
Devil. Listen: "Ye are of your
father the devil, and the lusts
of your father ye will do..."
(John 8:44) Satan hates the
Lord Jesus Christ, and as his
child you also hate the Lord
Jesus Christ. Have you ever
seen your hatred for Christ? If
not you are not saved. Another
reason you cannot come to
Christ is because you are dead
(Eph 2:1). My friend, salva
tion is not by the will of man
What is the will of man?
Alright you listen ; Salvation is
by the will of God not by man's
...ill
John 1:13 Which were born,
not of blood...man's will is that
you are saved if your parents
are saved. So and So is from a
Christian family so they have
to be saved, no, you are not.
You are not saved because you
were born into a Christian
family. No sir! Your family
can be saved and yet you are
on the road to hell. Being born
into a godly family is not
salvation by the will of God.
That is man's idea of salva
tion. Salvation in Christ is not
be .owed upon you because
your parents are saved. If
your parents are saved you
will have to be saved just like
they were saved. So coming
from a godly family does not
mean you are saved.
"Nor of the will of the
flesh..." You are not saved
because you desire to be sav-,
ad. No matter how much you
want to be saved God does not
»ve you on BàVtâ No '
matter how much you pray,
read, or study God's Word,
that is not why or how you are
saved. Let me hasten to say
that you will hunger and thirst
after Christ above everything
else under the sun before you
are ever saved. But God never
saved any sinner because you
hungered so much and so
much after Christ. You will
beg Him to save you night and
day. You will weep after Him
night and day. And oh the
mourning and groaning that
will go up (ram your heart!
But you are not saved because
you mourn and groan so much
either. Some of you say you
are lost but you are not
mourning after Christ you are
not getting alone with Him.
You try to fool me. There is no
use for you to try to fool me. I
know what it means to be a
lost sinner, and you my friend
are not lost. Now you had
better quit lying about it and
get serious.
"Nor of the will of man..."
You are not saved because
some preacher prays for you.
Many times a preacher will
tell sinners that they (the
preachers) can pray them
through to salvation. There's
no such thing preacher! What
murderers you preachers are!
Now I'm cutting right down
the line preachers. You can
get mad and go on to hell. To
join the church is the will of
man. You may join the church
and the preacher would ask
them; "Do you profess Christ
Jesus as your Saviour?" And
the sinner would say; "Yes I
do." And they would be voted
in the church as saved. What a
tragedy!!! Sealing souls for
Hell! Oh how my heart bleeds C
to see such rot, such tommy H
rot as that going on in the II
name of my blessed Lord. It II
never has occurred to me to II
soft soak the gospel or give out I
this "fluffy duffy" stuff that 11
see you preachers giving out I
and calling it preaching the I
gospel. You my friend are the I
orpatoct traifnr tKo nocru»! I
ever had! I make no apology
for the gospel and if you are
not going to declare the whole
counsel of God I suggest to you
what my old late pastor did
suggest; go out and dig "ta
ters" for a living or play with
"Doodle bugs." Souls are dy
ing and going to hell and you
are damning them to hell. I'm
not running a popularity con
test. I sold out coming to
Christ. If you can't tell sinners
how God saves sinners then
you are not saved! You say;
Bro' Little, how are sinners
saved? Alright listen if you
can and have ears to hear. _
"But of God." Sinners saved
are born again, born the se
cond time. Listen; "Of his own
will begat he us with the world
of truth...(James 1:18). A sin
ner is saved by the Word of
God. Listen again; "Being '
THE WORD OF GOD;'which
liveth and abideth for ever (I
Pot. 1:23). Also Eph. 2:1 And
you hath he quickened, who
were dead in trespasses and
sins. The sinner is quickened
or made alive by the Holy
Spirit germinating the Word of
God He has planted in that
sinner. A sinner is saved by 1
the Will of God. If you got
saved it is because God willed
you to salvation in Christ.
Listen again; "So then it is not
' of him that runneth, but of God
{ J.~M. Littlej
mai snowem mercy (Kom
9:16). If you got saved it is
because God had Ihercy on
you and revealed Christ to
your heart through the Word.
_not_because_o^n^th^^
did. A sinner saved, is saved
wholly of grace Salvation is
by grace through faith in a
crucified, buried, and risen
Lord.
