Rescue the Perishing: Personal Work Made Easy
Seibert, Fred R.
Bible -- Indexes
Which would you rather trust? God’s *unchanging* word, or your
*ever-changing* feelings?
You know you are a sinner and lost. What you need is Jesus Christ. Look
to Him; accept Him; *trust Him; confess Him*; and He will do the rest.
Take the blesser and you will have the blessing.
BUT as many as *received Him* (Christ), to them gave He *power* to
*become* the *sons* of *God*, even to them that *believe on His name*.
_John 1:12._
See! you are to *receive a personal Saviour*, not work up some special
*feeling*.
If you are waiting for the *feeling* that an earnest working Christian
has, we would have you note, that feeling is the “*fruit*,” not the
“*root*” of salvation. A feeling of joy, peace, and rest comes, because
we “*trust*” in Christ, “*confess*” Him as our Savior, “*defend*” His
cause, and try to “*obey*” Him.
AND we are His witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost,
whom God hath glven to them that *obey Him*.
_Acts 5:32._
It is to those that “*obey Him*” that the blessing is given—Repentance
is *doing what God commands you to do*, whether you feel like doing it
or not, and the feeling follows as you seek to do God’s will -—
BUT the *fruit of the Spirit* is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith.
_Galatians 5:22._
Never be guided by the experiences of some one else, but *by God’s
Word*.
The Devil’s order is: 1st, Feeling; 2nd, Faith; 3rd, Fact; but God’s
order is: 1st, Fact; 2nd, Faith; then Feeling.
“The *Fact* you’re a sinner, you cannot but see,
That *Faith* in Christ saves you, is ever our plea;
The *feeling* will follow in service and love;
Then *take* from Christ *Jesus His gift* from above.”
AND they said, *Believe* on the *Lord Jesus Christ*, and thou *shalt be
saved*, and thy house.
_Acts 16:31._
VERILY, *verily*, I say unto you, He that *heareth my word and believeth
on Him* that sent me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into
condemnation (judgment); but is *passed from death unto life.*
_John 5:24._
BUT these are written, that ye might *believe* that *Jesus* is the
*Christ*, the *Son* of *God*; and that *believing* ye might have *life*
through *His name*.
_John 20:31._
Some are *making more* of their *feelings* than they are of the Word of
the Lord.
Feelings are as changeable as the wind. You get up many a cold morning
when you don’t feel like it. Religion with the Christian is obedience;
and the highway leading to the life “hid with Christ in God” is known as
obedience, not feeling.
