Gospel Meeting 23/11/2014

Mr. John Richardson spoke about his skydive and likened it to sin pulling us down.
Religion can't save us, Matthew 15 vs.8-9, James 2 vs.19.
We need to put our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Demons know who He is.
Acts 16 vs.30  And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
Money won't save you, Proverbs 11 vs.28, Acts 8 vs.20.
The wages of sin is death.
Possessions/big house won't save you, Matthew 16 vs.24, Luke 12 vs.33-34.
Luke 8 vs.14  And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Friends or family connections can't save you, Matthew 3 vs.9. Acts 4 vs.12

Luke 18 vs.9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Good works can't save you, Romans 3 vs.10-12, Ephesians 2 vs.8.
What can save us is God's perfect sacrifice, the Lord Jesus is Holy and He paid the full price for my sin when He died on the cross, He is the only one who can save us.
He is like a parachute that brings us down safely, it is all of God and nothing of me. He holds me and brings me safely down.
John 14 vs.6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
