The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented
by the present-day "evangelist." He announces a Savior from hell rather
than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for
there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire
to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness. The very first thing
said of Him in the New Testament is, "Thou shalt call His name Jesus,
for He shall save His people (not "from the wrath to come," but)
from their sins." (Matt. 1:21) Christ is a Savior for those
realizing something of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, who feel the awful
burden of it on their conscience, who loathe themselves for it, who long
to be freed from its terrible dominion; and a Savior for no others. Were
He to "save from hell" those still in love with sin, He would be a Minister
of sin, condoning their wickedness and siding with them against God. What
an unspeakably horrible and blasphemous thing with which to charge the
Holy One!
