Hebrews 1:1-4
“1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”
The writer of Hebrews opens this book with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Telling us who He is, what He did, and where He is know.
I want to concentrate on part of verse 3 this morning. “when he had by himself purged our sins,”. Notice the words “by himself”. How much more simply put can it be?
We hear men today, religious men, preach that we have to pray a prayer to Jesus to be saved. Or “it is all up to us to find Christ”. Or “Jesus can't do it with out you”. Or we have to live a good life. Or we have to this or we have to do that. What hogwash!!! What blasphemy!!!
God tells us Jesus did it by Himself!!! No help from us. No pleading for us to come. There is not even anything said in all of God's Word about a prayer of salvation or a sinners prayer for salvation.
So where do these thoughts and doctrines come from? Well if they are not of God there is only one other place they could come. Satan, our great adversary.
Paul warned Timothy of doctrines of devils in 1 Timothy 4:1”Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;”
Child of God, I encourage you, when presenting the gospel to the unsaved, preach the truth. Leave behind the false doctrines, the doctrines of devils spread by the disciples of satan. Preach the truth. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!!!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
