Romans ch3 vs22(b) – 23, ch10 vs12 -13.
The Acts ch15 vs7 – 9.
“THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE”.
There has been a recent clamour for gender equality, with
many large companies and organisations being made to reveal the different wages
they are paying their male and female employees for holding the same positions.
Here, in tonight’s scriptures, three times we find absolute equality,
in three absolute facts:
1) “…for there is no difference: For all have sinned…”.
ALL! Without exception, every single one of us.
Fact 1 – The guilt of Man towards God.
2) “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”.
Fact 2 – The love and grace of God towards Man offers
Salvation to ALL people, through His Eternal Son, The Lord Jesus Christ.
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared
to all men”
- Titus ch2 vs11.
3) “…God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth
should hear the word of the gospel, and believe… And put no difference between
us and them, purifying their hearts by faith”
Fact 3 – Again – no difference - whoever you are or whatever
race you are from, it is the SAME Gospel that is available to all.
The first man, Adam, was given dominion over all the things
that moved upon the Earth (Genesis ch3), but it was not long before He
disobeyed God and brought about the fall of man – a dark, foul and fearful
reality!
Genesis is a book of beginnings:
Ch3 was the degeneration of Adam and the Human Race, by
sinning against God.
Ch4 was the degeneration of the Family, with Cain slaying
his brother Abel.
Ch6 was the degeneration of Society – God saw that the
wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Ch11 was the degeneration of Nations – mans attempt to build
a tower reaching up to the heavens, ended with God confusing their one language
into many others and scattering them over all the Earth.
Sin is the most awful thing!
Because of our sin, we all fall short of God’s glory and
holy standards.
All mankind are sinners by nature, and sinners by practice.
This is the equality of guilt – we are all in the same
condition!
Yet God still loves each one of us so very much! ...
“Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity … he
retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy”.
- Micah ch7 vs18.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith
he loved us. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace are ye saved;)
- Ephesians ch2 vs4 – 5.
Happy is the one who confesses his sin, appealing to The
Lord Jesus Christ!
Oh dear reader, come to Jesus Christ to be forgiven and
saved tonight!
It is the most wonderful thing in life to know the assurance
and peace of having all your sins forgiven! To be able to lay your head on the
pillow at night, knowing that your eternal destination is Heaven and not Hell!
He laid down His life and gave His spotless blood that you
can be fully forgiven and cleansed through it.
Reader, grasp this truth well tonight – God loves YOU!!
Simply come to Jesus Christ in sincere repentance of your
sins and accept Him as your Saviour from this time.
The speaker can’t fathom why Holy God would love such a
vile, guilty sinner as he, but he knows and accepts that He absolutely does!
The Gospel is simple, that even a child is able to
understand, and it is God’s only provision for anyone to be saved.
Whoever you may be, whatever is your race or background,
whatever you may have done, Jesus bids you to come and welcomes you with
outstretched, loving arms.
“… him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out”
- John’s Gospel ch6 vs37.
You may hear in this present age that there are “many ways
to Heaven”, but God has made it crystal clear that this is only possible
through the work and person of His beloved Son, The Lord Jesus Christ.
Reader, will you be saved tonight for time and eternity?
Yesterday’s opportunity has gone, tomorrow for you may never
come… this day may be your last chance in life!
“… behold, now is the accepted time; now is the day of
salvation”.
- 2nd Corinthians ch6 vs2.
There is a Heaven to be gained.
There is a Hell to be shunned.
Both places are factual and eternal… which will be yours
dear friend?
