Below is a
Gospel Painting presentation from Jeremy Sams. This painting is painted
live while Jeremy proclaims the good news that Jesus Christ has
provided salvation for all who will believe. This is accompanied with
singing from his wife, Crystal.
After learning who God is,
we examine who we are
according to God's standard.
| 
God demands justice.
| 
But God demonstrates His love
toward us by sending His Son to buy our pardon. |
The cup of God's wrath
was emptied on His Son.
| 
He commands all to repent and
believe the gospel. | 
"Come unto Me ..."
He will in now way cast you out. |

Sams family for a visual gospel presentation, Contact Jeremy.
There is no
charge, but a love offering is appreciated.
Who
Is God To You?
"Remember
the former things of old: for I am God, and there is
none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient
times the things that are not yet done, saying, My
counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" (Isaiah 46:9-10)
| "And all the
inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth
according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the
inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him,
What doest thou?" (Daniel 4:35) |
"He is the Rock, his
work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God
of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he."
(Deut. 32:4) |
God is the sovereign Lord over all
creation. He is just and righteous. He is holy and there is none like
Him. He is one God in three persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Each are distinct in their persons but one in nature and essence. He is
the God who will not turn His cheek to sin. He demands absolute
perfection. He is the God who will judge every man according to their
works. Because of who He is, and because He is just, loving and good,
He must punish sinners.
Sinners are transgressors of God's laws. God, in
His grace, gave us a mirror to show us who we are. This mirror is the
10 commandments. If we've ever lied or stolen, God sees us as lying
thieves. Jesus said, if you look at someone to lust after them, you're
an adulterer at heart (Matthew 5:28). God not only judges us for our outer actions,
but He knows and will judge us by our thoughts as well. If we've ever
hated someone, the bible says it's the same as committing murder (1 John 3:15, Matthew 5:22).
Obviously, we as fallen depraved humans, could never measure up to
God's perfect standard (Romans 3:10-12).
Because God is just, He demands a
penalty for committing crimes against Him. But, because no man is able
or worthy to satisfy His justice, God had to supply the satisfaction
Himself. All have sinned and therefore, all deserve God's perfect
punishment. However, God, in His predetermined plan, saw fit to send
His Son to drink the cup of God's wrath. God sent His only
begotten Son to
earth as a man who lived a perfect sinless life. He never sinned in
thought, word or deed. He fulfilled the law that we could never keep.
He was then nailed to a cross, suffered, bled and died. All of the
Father's wrath was emptied on His Son. Three days later as a sign of
His righteousness, God's approval, and to give assurance to all,
Jesus arose from the dead. Where the blood of bulls and goats were
insufficient, the blood of Christ was offered once and accomplished
atonement for the sins of many (Hebrews 9:28) He
completely satisfied the debt of every one who will repent and believe
in Him. Every single person who believes in Him will not perish but
have everlasting life. Repeating prayers, asking "Jesus to come into
your heart", and
any other work or phraseology is not the means of salvation.
Salvation
is in a person, not something you "do" or pray.
If your hope of
salvation is in a prayer that you repeated after a preacher, you need
to repent and believe. If your hope of salvation is in saying some
magic set of words, you need to repent and believe. If your hope is in
some good deed that you've done, you must repent and believe. Salvation
is by grace through faith (Ephesian 2:8-9), not by your works of
righteousness, but
according to His mercy (Titus 3:5). Repentance and faith are both
granted by God. If they were not, man in his depravity would never come
to Him. However,
Except ye repent, you shall all likewise perish (Luke 13:3, 5), and he
that believeth not, is condemned already (John 3:18). These are not
suggestions but commands. Therefore, those who refuse to repent and put
their trust in Christ alone are completely responsible for their
rebellion.
Has God done a work in your heart, so
that, the sin that you once loved, you are now hating; and the God that
you once ran from, you find yourself irresistibly drawn to? If this is
you, cast yourself at the feet of Christ. Beg Him for mercy and trust
Him. Calling on the Lord is an outward manifestation of an inward
change of heart wrought by God (Romans 10:13,14). All that the Father gives Him,
will come. And, He has promised all that come to Him, He will in no way
cast out (John 6:37).
He offers you pardon and freedom from sin. If you reject Him, you'll be
required to pay for every sin that you've ever committed which means an
eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:13-15). Receive Him today!
