Salvation Is Possible
only By Redemption and
Atonement, Says Sunday

won't be saved. but redemption will
avail you nothing if you refuse and re-
ject Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ died for every saloon
keeper and every thug and every muir
derer and prostitute. he died for all and
redeemed all, but all will not be saved
for all will not accept the redemption.
They will go to hell.
$50, redemption is more than saliva
tion. While redemption was for every
body, salvation is only for those who
will accept redemption. So salvation is
not universal. 1t will be if everybody
will accept redemption. They all can be
saved If they will The vilest sinner
has been redeemed. Redeem means buy
back and so we have been bought back.
Now, then. If you had something that
belonged to me and I could prove that
JESUS Christ redeemed us when He died
on the cross, and you wouldn't give 1t
to me could go down to the courthouse
and make you do 1t. I can prove you
are a thief, you are withholding from
God what rightfully belongs to Him by
virtue of purchase with the blood of
His only begotten Son. and 1 am glad to
put my fist under your nose and tell
you you are an old thief. You are not a
man, you haven't got spark of woman
hood or manhood in you, If you haven't
got what Jesus Christ paid for in His
own blood.
Redemption means to buy back
Jesus paid the price. Don't be fool,
give him what belongs to him. We are
redeemed not with corruptible things
such as silver and gold but by the prec-
ious blood of Jesus Christ. 1t stands
for Gods hatred of sins.
Now a skillful man can argue against
the validity of the scriptures and If you
are not rooted and grounded in faith,
doubt will seem more reasonable to you
than faith. I am going to say some
thing that may startle some of you.
Listen, now! If 1 hadn't been four
under the care and instruction and
guidance of men who believed the BLDG
was the word of God and Jesus Christ
is the Son of God in the formative pc
Rod of my Christian manhood, am
afraid I'd be standing here tonight
preaching infidelity to you instead of
Christianity and one of the men who
guided me in my younger days was DR..
Chapman who helped me.
Wishes He Had Brain
OF Robert Tngerson
$50, here, l say, if 1 hadn't have been
under the instruction of men who bel1ev-
ed and knew and guided my thought, l
might be preaching infidelity instead OF
Christianity. But to the day l die, III
never cease to praise God for the men
who believed in Jesus Christ as the Son
of God and thank God before my eyes
ever fell upon Bob Ingerson and 1 read
everything he ever wrote and I'd take 1t
and lay 1t down by the side of the Bible
and said, Either Bob perverted that
through ignorance or desire, but
couldn't conceive Of a man with the
gigantic intelligence he possessed being
such a fool.
ST only wish to God 1 had his brain
and eloquence with my disposition to
serve and do the will of God, but am
going the very limit Of all my strength
and power to help.
You can argue against the Bible, but
you can't argue against sin. Sin is in
the world and all the damnation and
misery comes from sin. You can argue
against God, Jesus heaven, hell, you
can say that death is an eternal sleep,
you can argue against all that, but you
can't argue against sin. 1t is In the
world and all the misery sorrow, an
guish, heartache. all the murder, out
rage and all the war, and all that curses
and ruins and damns and infests and
blights like pestilence, all the insom-
n1a--all is caused by sin. That IS
what damns the world.
I'VE are only asking men and women
to fee from the thing that curses their
life. 1 think you forget all of it when
you refuse to be Christian and live
for Jesus Christ and for His truth.
Tonight Jesus Christ stands be-
tween God Almighty and the human race
our mediator. With one hand He
holds the sword of infiexible justice in
the scabbard. He has held it there for
nineteen hundred and seventeen years.
With the other He offers gifts of saliva
ton, full, free, perfect and eternal to
all who will accept of his sacrifice and
the sword. At last He will withdra W
that offer, when don't know. but folks,
it is still being held out and in the name
of Christianity do 1t.
Some day He will withdraw that offer
of mercy, He will unsheath the sword,
He will make his way to this world,
God pity you If you are not under the
blood and there is no other way where
by we can be saved. We are not re-
deemed with corruptible things such as
silver and gold but by the precious blood
