Prophet’ll Column “A Lost Sinner” _ You come to tee that God, alone la good and all man- , kind is totally depraved, . and that you have no righteousoees to get you to Heaven or gain favor in God’s sight. I want to make a statement here just at boldly as I can. “Any_soul who has never been taught the total depravity of the human heart under Holy Spirit conviction, IS NOT SAVED! I don’t cm who you are or bow long you have been preaching. Every soul . brought under conviction for salvation in Christ learns directly from the Holy Spirit that the human heart la totally cor rupt with no soodneas in any human beihjfct Tfcke issue with that but when you meet God at the Great White Throne Judgment, - you won’t tell Him there that you have some good in you. You’ll see that what every lost, awakened sin ner sees here, that you r Second in series saved. And seeing that I was under judgment wasn't a pleasant thh«; Holy spirit cqovictkm 1s the closest thing In this world to Hall. Why? Yon are seeing yourself as a thrice Holy God sees you. That’s right! Undar%loiy Spirit conviction, you sec your self as God sees you. If you are a lost sinner seeing these things I’m setting , forth, then I say to you: ticular message. He hadn’t been preaching very long before I knew why he wee bringing that menage. “Some men’s aim ate open Detorenano, gy^g before to Judgment: and same men they foOow after.” (1 Tim. S:tt). When the pas tor quoted thoae Wards, tha Lord took it home to my heart that He was opening my sins beforehand In this life that I might be saved. That encowaged my heart, but the Lord didn’t save me then. It was a few months later when Christ was re vealed to my heart Now ^Soppedrighttttoe^ltold me I was saved when I sew that great truth, got see ing a greet truth is net salvation. Seeing diet my sins were opened before hand waa not salvation.
