I am really concerned today for our
nation and our people. In the last 100 years we have put
much emphasis on foreign missions at the heart breaking
expense of home missions. We have forgotten our own people.
We are paying a terrible price for it. We are seeing very
few people saved. Those are the reasons I support works such
as the Lord Jesus Christ Baptist Church. We must reach our
own people if we are to have a basis for continuing foreign
missions. Without the righteousness of the Lord Jesus
Christ, America is on the way out. Righteousness exalteth a
nation, but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs
14:34). I used to roar: “why can’t our leaders see that it
is not radical Islam that is the problem, but Islam itself.
While that is mostly true, it does not address the real
problem. The only protection we have as a nation against
Islam is the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was the
Lord Jesus Christ that made us free as individuals and as a
nation. We are being brought back into the bondage of Islam
and paganism because we have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ.
God help us.
Turn in your Bibles to 2 Corinthians 13:5:
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves,
how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be
reprobates? |
As you take a look back on the past year and your life that
came before it, I would like to ask you this question: “If
you were to die today, do you know for a fact that you would
not go to hell?” Hell is an eternally burning place at the
end of a Lord Jesus Christ rejecting life. The two longest
passages dealing with hell in the New Testament involve the
Lord Jesus Christ. In the one he is warning of the coming
judgment of hell and the lake of fire. In the other he is
the presiding judge sentencing the lost to hell and the lake
of fire. So I ask you tonight have you examined yourself to
see if you are in the faith. Do you have who it takes to get
into heaven. The door into heaven is not a sinner’s prayer,
a baptismal pool, your church membership, or through your
works. The only door to heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ. In
John 10:7-18, the Lord Jesus Christ declared that he was the
door. The Lord Jesus Christ also said in John 14:6, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
I would also like for you to examine yourself today to see
if your conduct has hindered your friends and family from
coming to salvation.
Psalm 139:23-24
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and
know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked
way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. |
I have dealt with a particular man about his salvation many
times in the past. He was raised a Roman Catholic. We used
to work together. He was supposed to have experienced
conversion in 1993. Following his so-called conversion, he
joined a Southern Baptist church that was the weakest of the
weak. Of course this fundamental Baptist Church made sure he
was planted in the killing fields of the NIV which I
eventually persuaded him to throw in the trash. Let me
remind you that if you have any English version of the Bible
other than the King James Bible, then you have a corrupt
version of the Bible. Now, since his so-called conversion,
he has experienced two divorces plus a shack up job that he
swore that he was not sleeping with. If I believed that, I
would believe that the Devil is not going to be cast into
the Lake of Fire. At the very least, there was the greatest
appearance of evil even if there was absolutely nothing
going on. First Thessalonians 5:22 says that we are to
abstain from all appearance of evil. He also has a dirty
mouth.
Ask the average unsaved person that is not affiliated with a
church if they think professing “Christians” should live
together out of wedlock and you will quickly be told NO. Yet
many in the so-called Christian church who claim to be
Christians experience no Holy Ghost conviction when they
daily live in fornication and/or adultery. I have a problem
with that because the Bible says that fornicators and
adulterers are without the gate. Put in plainer words, the
Bible says that fornicators and adulterers are unsaved,
unsaved, unsaved. If you can live in open sin without the
chastisement of the Lord, then the Bible says you are a
bastard and not a child. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:6-8:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye
endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with
sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth
not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof
all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not
sons. |
The other problem I have with someone who says that they are
a Christian and continues to live in fornication week after
week and month after month is this: If they can continue to
live in their sin and get by with it without God killing
them, then either the Word of God is a lie or they are not
saved. Which do you think I would pick? According to 1
Corinthians 5:5 and 1 John 5:16 there is a sin unto death.
If you continue in open sin proclaiming yourself to be
saved, why hasn’t God killed you yet? It could quite
possibly be that you are not saved. Most people today would
expect you to believe they are saved regardless of their
life screaming: “Hey I am going to hell”. What does your
conduct say about your profession? It would be the greatest
of tragedies for you to have sit on the pews of fundamental
Bible believing churches and then to be told by the Lord
Jesus Christ to get out of His sight because he never knew
you. Many years ago a survey was done that asked what
people’s favorite Bible verse was. The overwhelming favorite
then was John 3:16. In recent years that survey was repeated
and the overwhelming favorite was Matthew 7:1 which says:
Judge not, that ye be not judged. What a sad commentary on
the state of today’s American Christianity. It is clear from
the context of Matthew chapter 7 that there is no wholesale
command not to judge. Verses 2-5 clearly indicate that
hypocritical judgment is in view. Christians are to judge
righteous judgment. The sad thing is that most of the time
when this verse is quoted it is coming straight through
Satan’s mind into your mouth. What is the greater tragedy is
that Matthew chapter 7 is the chapter in the New Testament
that has the strongest condemnation of false professors.
Matthew chapter 7 is a condemnation of the religionists that
go about to establish their own righteousness by working in
and through the church. They do religious works in the power
of their flesh and expect heaven in return, or at least not
to be cast into hell. The Lord Jesus Christ himself will say
I never knew you. Let’s read a little more of it in in
context:
Matthew 7:13-23
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to
you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in
that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will
I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity. |
How then are we to discern false professors and false
prophets if we are not to judge. The rule is context,
context, context. Never pull a verse out of context
especially to justify your sin. It may work with men, but
the Lord Jesus Christ will see right through it. A verse
pulled out of context is a pretext for false doctrine.
Another thing that amazes me is the Christian parents who
will tolerate the most ungodly conduct out of their own
children and even defend them in their sin. I am not talking
about those Christian parents who were saved after their
children were grown even though there is much application
for them in what I am saying. What I am talking about is
Christian parents who raised their children in a Christian
home and yet once those children become adults, the parents
will allow those children to participate in what is
condemned as sin by the Word of God. Mothers are usually the
greater offender in this area even though fathers are guilty
of it many times. A man has abdicated, or given up, his God
given responsibility to put sin out of his home if he yields
to a wife’s insistence that an adult or minor child’s sin be
tolerated in his home. To shirk this responsibility is sin.
Sin should never be tolerated by a Christian man in his own
home. It is a bad testimony and the yielding of the sanctity
of the home to Satan. When you yield to Satan in your home,
then he becomes the master of your home. If you say that you
are a Christian and tolerate sin in your home, then you are
guilty of hypocrisy. Known sin in the home will quench the
work of the Holy Ghost in lost family members and will
create division in the home. Known sin will limit what the
Holy Ghost could do with you both inside and outside your
home. Known sin will grieve the Holy Ghost which will lead
to discontent, strife, and sometimes even hatred. IN SHORT,
TO TOLERATE SIN IS SIN ITSELF. If your tolerate sin in your
home then you become a partaker of that sin. Paul told
Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:22: Lay hands suddenly on no man,
neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
The Holy Ghost abides in purity. Soul winning is an issue of
purity. The apostle John also said that if you receive sin
into your house, then you become a partaker in that sin.
Second John 6-11 says:
2 John 6-11
6 And this is love, that we walk after his
commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye
have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who
confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.
This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to
yourselves, that we lose not those things which we
have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the
doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in
the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and
the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring
not this doctrine, receive him not into your house,
neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth
him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. |
Notice the use of the phrases “commandments”,
“transgresseth”, “doctrine of Christ”, and evil deeds. What
the Holy Ghost is saying through John is that if you invite
into your house those that walk not after the commandments
or that transgress and abide not in the doctrine of Christ
that you become a partaker in their evil deeds. Allowing
those transgressors into your home is like inviting Satan,
or an antichrist into your home. To allow such like into
your home is to bed down with the Devil. Note also that
those who abide in sinful behaviour “hath not God”. In
plainer words, they are NOT SAVED. Ephesians 5:7 says: “Be
Not ye therefore partakers with them”. We are to have no
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them (Ephesians 5:11). These verses are very
powerful especially if you consider that they occur in the
longest passage in the New Testament dealing with
relationships and holiness in the church, in our lives
individually, and in our family life. Read it for yourself
in Ephesians 4 and 5 where we find 65 verses. Paul is saying
the very same thing John is in 2 John except he has added
quite a few more details. You cannot make exceptions for
your family members. We have two sons who will not bring
their shack ups with them into our homes because they know
we will not put up with it. They also know that we believe
that their behaviour is ungodly.
You should not allow your children to rest in the delusion
that they are saved if they continue in open sin such as
drug and alcohol use, fornication, adultery, sodomy,
pedophilia, and pornography because if the rapture takes
place and your children have been under conviction of the
Holy Ghost they are without hope in the tribulation. To
accept such behaviour is to accept the very real possibility
that your children are on their way to hell if you do not
make a conviction bringing stand based on the holiness of
God. Here is the warning from the word of God:
2 Thessalonians 1:6-8
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to
recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the
Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his
mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on
them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken
out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be
revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the
spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming
is after the working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all
deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this
cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure
in unrighteousness. |
As a parent, or a soul winner, you cannot trust somebody
else’s profession of salvation. Only they know for sure that
they are saved. The only thing that you can possibly believe
is the fruit of repentance in their lives and even that can
be deceptive. It is especially true today that the proof of
salvation is in the walk and not in the talk. If you are a
parent that has a child in open sin, it is best to assume
that they are lost and prepare a course of action based upon
that assumption. Do not worry about offending them. If they
are lost, is it better to offend them than to let them die
in their sin and go to hell. If they are saved and they get
offended, they will get over it. Most Christian parents in
America who think their children, including adult children,
are saved are in bad need of a reality check. Never, never
get upset when a person questions whether or not one of your
professing children is saved. Never, never argue with a
person, especially a child, whether they are saved or use
the expression “you know you are saved” when they are
doubting their salvation. When you do either of those you
are hindering either the correcting work or the convicting
saving work of the Holy Ghost of God. Only them and the Holy
Ghost of God know for sure that they are saved. If you enter
yourself into the mix, you are guilty of usurping the
ministry of God the Holy Ghost. It is God the Holy Ghost
that does the drawing and convicting. It is God the Holy
Ghost that does the conversion. It is God the Holy Ghost
that does the regeneration, or resurrection. It is God the
Holy Ghost that gives the assurance of salvation. You put
yourself in the place of the Holy Ghost of God when you
argue with someone “that they know they are saved”
regardless of whether their life screams that they are on
their way to hell fire and damnation. If there is no fruit,
then they are not rooted in the tree of life. If you are in
open sin, you cannot convince me that you are saved. If you
are having constant doubts about whether you are saved do
not tell me that the devil is making you doubt your
salvation. The Devil would never do that if he knew you were
lost. Let me return to my earlier illustration about my
friend.
I was on my way to a funeral one Friday night in Newport,
Tennessee when I received a phone call from a man I knew. He
told me that he urgently needed to talk with me. We talked
about things in general for a little while after I arrived
at his house. Then we started talking about the Bible which
is were we always end up at in our conversations. As our
conversation progressed, we got into a conversation about
devils. From there we ended up in the scriptures where I
started a discussion about salvation when the man all of a
sudden blurted out that he did not think he was saved. I had
my doubts about his salvation for a long time because of his
life style and some long standing doctrinal issues rooted in
his Roman Catholic upbringing and his obsession with the
Pentecostalism of his ex wife. He is obsessed with tongues,
fear of losing salvation, Holy Ghost baptism, devils/demons,
and prayer clothes. Knowing his back ground, I asked him if
he had ever been saved or did he believe that he had lost
his salvation. I could not get a straight answer out of him
other than referring to some sin in his life. I knew the
devil had walked into the room when his Pentecostal friend
walked in and kept telling him “you know you are saved”. I
strongly sensed the presence of evil from that moment on.
What a hindrance from the devil. Since that time he has gone
from bad to worse in his temperament. He has gone to
frequent use of curse words in his conversation. When I tell
him that his drunken brother is not saved, he tells me that
his brother says he knows God. And I say, yeh that’s
scriptural. So do the devils know God and tremble (James
2:19), but they will not be going to heaven. He said that he
had never heard that before. After the devil inserted his
friend into the conversation, we were never able to get back
to salvation again that night. Of course, the root cause of
his lack of assurance of salvation was a lack of repentance.
He really liked the one, two, three repeat after me prayer.
1. Sending forth unsaved and unholy seed bearers.
2. Sending forth unholy saved seed bearers who lack
the spiritual discernment of how to deal with lost
folks because they have grieved the Holy Ghost.
3. Using corruptible seed (in other words any book
but the King James Bible)
4. Lack of knowledge of the scriptures dealing with
salvation.
5. No conviction of the Holy Ghost.
6. No presentation of faith and repentance.
7. Refusing to forsake canned salvation plans when
it is obvious that the Holy Ghost is leading in a
different direction. The Romans Road does not work
in many cases.
8. No push for a public confession of faith. Saved
folks are not ashamed of the Gospel. |
The word repent in its different forms is used in the New
Testament 64 times in 54 verses. The message we get from
these facts should be that God is very serious about this
doctrine of repentance. In fact God is so serious about
repentance that He says “Except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish”. The three absolute essentials in salvation
are faith, repentance, and public confession.
A survey of professions of faith in the Southern Baptist
Convention was completed in 1993. During that particular
year, there were 150,000 so-called professions that were
accompanied by baptism. In a follow up survey, the following
statistics were revealed concerning the original 150,000
baptisms. Of the 150,00 baptisms, 40.5%, or 60750 baptisms,
were for what the candidates said was conversion. Of the
150,000 baptisms, 3,000 were under 5 years of age. The
remaining 86,250 were baptized because they REDEDICATED
their lives! What! Whatever happened to believer’s baptism?
You do not baptize folks for rededication. Baptism is a one
time act that follows faith and repentance. This particular
survey covered 854 churches. What is wrong with this
picture?! We have a whole denomination of so-called Baptists
where the majority of baptisms are for rededications. That
is a slap in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ and the
church of the Living God! It shows the depth of apostasy and
heresy in America’s Baptist churches. I believe that the
tragedy of the real situation is much worse than the above
figures revealed even in 1993. I doubt very seriously that
even 10% of the above 150,000 were saved. Here we are almost
19 years later and do you really think the situation is any
better. I will assure you that it is much worse now than
then. I am convinced that most people that tell me they are
saved when we are out knocking doors are lost and on their
way to an eternally burning hell. I will no longer ask
anyone if they were to die today if they know for sure that
they are going to heaven, but I will ask them if they are
sure they are not going to hell. The Lord Jesus Christ never
referred to heaven when dealing with a lost sinner about
their salvation. He always dealt with their sin and the
reality of hell. Hell is an eternally burning place for lost
sinners at the end of a Christ rejecting life. You will burn
in hell for eternity if you do not put your faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, and make a public
confession of faith. If you have not repented of your sin,
there will be no fruit. If there is no fruit, there is no
root of salvation and the tree of your false profession will
die. The tree of life does not consistently bring forth
corrupt fruit.
So what was missing from the above Southern Baptist scenario
and many like Independent Baptist Scenarios? The obvious
conclusion is that most of these people were not, and are
not, saved. They had never come to repentance in their
hearts. They had a head knowledge of the existence of the
Lord Jesus Christ, but it went no further than that. I can
have a complete knowledge of the Biblical facts concerning
salvation, but as long as I do not receive those facts and
the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart through faith and
repentance I am still a lost sinner on my way to hell. Are
you saved and still on your way to hell as most of the above
Southern Baptist “Converts” are. The problem is that they
have received another gospel unto condemnation in eternally
burning torment in the lake of fire. The above false
"converts" should have been told that the Bible says the
following about repentance:
Luke 13:3-5
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall
all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom
the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye
that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in
Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent,
ye shall all likewise perish.
Acts 3:19
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your
sins may be blotted out, when the times of
refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 11:18
18 When they heard these things, they held their
peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also
to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Acts 20:21
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the
Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our
Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 7:9-10
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but
that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made
sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive
damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh
repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but
the sorrow of the world worketh death. |
The message to five of the seven churches in the book of
Revelation was to repent. Those that are condemned in the
book of Revelation were condemned because they did not
repent (four different times). Repentance is the only way to
restoration and regeneration. For the lost sinner,
repentance is the only way to establish an eternal
relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. For the saved
sinner, repentance is the only way to maintain fellowship
with the Lord Jesus Christ.
For a person to get saved they must first realize that they
are lost and on their way to hell. The person must also be
under the conviction of the Holy Ghost. You cannot get saved
any time that you want. God must draw you through the
conviction of the Holy Ghost A person must also put their
faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, repent of their
sin, and make a public confession of their faith. Repentance
does not mean that you must quit every sin before you can
get saved. That would be a works based or Lordship
Salvation. What follows below are the Bible facts about
salvation:
John 6:44
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which
hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at
the last day.
Romans 3:10-12
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no,
not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there
is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone
out of the way, they are together become
unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not
one.
Romans 3:23
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God;
Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:6-11
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time
Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a
righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a
good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we
were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death
of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be
saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also
joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we
have now received the atonement.
John 3:3-5
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith
unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can
he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and
be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God
sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be
saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned:
but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
John 3:36
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not
see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Romans 10:8-17
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in
thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of
faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the
scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall
not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference
between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord
over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom
they have not believed? and how shall they believe
in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall
they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they
preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our
report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.
Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of
works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye
are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto
you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I
delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was
buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures: |
What you have just heard is the facts of the gospel. The
facts of the gospel can be intellectually believed in the
head, but they will do you absolutely no good if you will
not receive them and the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart.
John 1:11-12 says:
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him
not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name: |
Will you exercise faith, repent of your sin, and
receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour today?
Or, why will you die in your sin and go to hell. It
is either repent and receive the atonement of the
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ or burn in hell for
eternity! |

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Refrain
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
