In Psalm 110.3 we read, Thy people
shall be willing in the day of thy power. Today's modern gospel
has taken salvation out of the hands of God and placed it in
the hands of men. Like in the days of the prophet
Amos, the following is true. Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine
of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the
Lord. If men attend church, where the
gospel is not preached, they will remain in a senseless condition. Sunday after Sunday, although
they attend faithfully, they will never be better for it.
They will live with a false assurance and rest upon a rotten foundation
of an empty religious profession. Hell fills by the hour with baptized
church members who were never awakened to their lost condition,
never came under Holy Spirit conviction, and who were never
united saliently to Christ through heartfelt repentance and faith. The easy belief, modern gospel,
has been diluted of all its power to make it more palatable to
sinful man. Multitudes have fallen under
its sway and rest upon rotten plank boards that creak and split
every time they move because of their false assurance their
hope of heaven is nothing more than a hole in the wall. In a
day of great spiritual declension in the church, we must be honest
with ourselves in regard to biblical salvation and answer the following
questions. Is God the agent of salvation
or is man Are men saved as a result of a decision they make or as
the result of the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit? How we answer will determine
if Christianity in America can recover from the great decline
it has been in since the end of the Second Great Awakening
If this nation wants to avert disaster, it must experience
reformation in the people to keep God's judgments from the
land. It's time to break away from
the popular man-centered gospel and return to the old paths of
a God-centered gospel. The old gospel is God-centered.
It's the gospel of Edwards, Whitfield, Nettleton, Spurgeon, a man who
knew that the proclamation of the doctrines of grace, wielded
properly, could hew men down like a double-edged claymore. because the word of God is the
sword of the spirit. But salvation is in the hands
of God. It is his voice that raises dead
souls. The old gospel thunders the terrors
of the law about sinners ears until they tremble when conviction
of sin. Then it shuts men up to God until
the receiver revealed Christ for forgiveness of sin. but the
full counsel of God in the proclamation of the gospel should clearly
state the following. Number one, the holiness of Almighty
God and His sovereignty and salvation. Number two, the badness of man's
heart, which is ruined by nature with a bent towards sin. Number
three, the strictness and severity of the law. Number four, a future
judgment awaits all mankind, where he would be held accountable
before the judge of all the earth. Number five, the miseries and
unending torments of hell. Number six, God's demand for
repentance. Number seven, the necessity of
regeneration. Number eight, the preciousness
of Christ who, like the pearl of great price, is worth selling
all for so he may be gained. Number nine, the sufficiency
of Christ's blood and redemption. And number 10, Jesus Christ is
Lord. He must be one's prince as well
as a savior. If there is any hope for us as
a people of God, we must repent and return to the Lord before
it's too late.
