Chino Mendez was the most famous race car driver in all of Bolivia-in fact, for many years he was probably better known than the president of the country. He won every race in Bolivia. They didn’t race on special racetracks, but they would block off the roads in the country and have their races right on the roads.
We often heard the race cars speed by in the town of Montero since the main street was only a block away from our home. The narrow and crooked street, full of potholes, did not slow down Chino Mendez at all. He could drive down that street at 200 kilometers per hour (124 mph). Everyone cheered him as he won his races and we never met a single school boy that didn’t know his name.
Mr. Mendez had carefully practiced a certain corner of the road in the mountainous city of Cochabamba. This was to be his next race. He knew just how fast he could take that corner and was well prepared to win another race. When Chino Mendez arrived at that corner in the race, the car before him had scattered gravel on the road. He turned the corner at 180 kilometers per hour (112 mph) and spun out of control and crashed. He never regained consciousness.
His coffin was carried on the shoulders of the citizens of Bolivia all the way from the central plaza to the cemetery. Mr. Mendez had worked for fame and the cheering of the crowd. At the end of his life the very best the country could give to its most famous citizen was a coffin and a place to rest it.
What will be there at the end of your life? Are you working only for money or fame or pleasure? Those who leave God out of their life can expect no more from this world than Chino Mendez received. But God has prepared much more for those who are His children. He has prepared a home in heaven where there is a street of gold for all those who are cleansed from their sins. The Lord Jesus suffered and died on the cross for our sins. “Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
We who are saved from our sins aren’t waiting for a coffin. We’re waiting for the Lord Jesus to come to take us to heaven and to the magnificent future that is waiting for us. “God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us…hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness toward us, through Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4,6-7).
Fame and riches were unimportant when Mr. Mendez left this world to stand before God. “That every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God” (Romans 3:19). Will you admit your guilt before God and turn to Christ for salvation? His loving heart waits to give you a wonderful future in His own home in heaven. “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

When the things of God are considered, doubts, objections, and arguments characterize people’s discussions. “Hath God said” was Satan’s question in the garden of Eden, and he is skilled at suggesting this same question to the minds of people today.
Martin Luther, in one of his many conflicts with the devil, was asked by the arch-enemy if he felt his sins were forgiven.
“No,” said the great reformer, “I don’t feel that they are forgiven, but I know they are, because God says so in His Word.”
The Apostle Paul did not say, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt feel saved,” but, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
No one can feel that his sins are forgiven. Ask a man whose debt has been paid by his brother, “Do you feel that your debt is paid?”
“No,” is the honest reply. “I don’t feel that it is paid; I know it is paid.”
You, too, must first believe in God’s love to you as revealed at the cross of Calvary, and then you will feel happy, because you will know that you are saved.
And now let me ask you: Is your soul safe for eternity? You say, “I hope so.” But, dear friends, hoping is not enough; you need to be certain about this!
Listen to what God says, and have peace in your heart: “He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life” (1 John 5:13).

“The doctor says I have only three weeks to live,” said a tall, thin young woman about twenty years old.
“I suppose you are thinking a great deal of where you are going after death?” said her visitor.
“Oh, no! I try not to think of that at all! I’ve enjoyed life, and it’s no use my thinking of anything else now. Besides, no less than five people have been here to see me.
“Each one of them has told me that I must prepare for heaven by being good. I can’t do that, and I don’t even want to try. Anyway, I have only three weeks to live, and that isn’t enough time to do all that they tell me, so why should I make myself unhappy with the thought of it now?”
“My dear girl! I’ve only fifteen minutes before I have to leave, but I assure you that in that fifteen minutes you can be made fit for the presence of God.”
“Excuse me! I don’t mean to be rude, but I can’t help laughing at the idea of me-me-being fit to meet God in fifteen minutes!”
“Let me show you what God says in His book, the Bible. Listen: ‘But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved).’ Aren’t you ‘dead in sins’?”
“Yes, I know I am.”
“Then hear what God says: ‘For His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins.’ You say that is you. Don’t you see that God loves you just as you are? It is true you cannot make yourself good-not in thirty years, much less in three weeks. “But God-He meets you with His great love just where you are.”
As the knowledge of God’s love reached her heart, this young woman, apparently so careless about eternal things, burst into tears.
“Oh, why didn’t the others tell me this?” she exclaimed. “To think of God loving me!”
Have you believed this great love of God?
“God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10).

A young man came to a Christian, an old professor in a college. He asked the teacher, “How long before death should I prepare for eternity?” The professor’s answer was: “A few minutes.” The youth, pleased, determined to have his fling, sow his wild oats, and “see life” in all its aspects. Then, a few moments before he closed his selfish eyes in death, he would ask God to have mercy on him!
“But,” asked the professor, “when are you going to die?”
The youth replied, “I can’t tell.”
“Then,” said the kind man, “GET READY NOW, you may have only a few moments to live.”
I’ve traveled widely and have yet to meet anyone who wants to go to the lake of fire, there to endure the “eternal judgment” of God. All hope to be saved someday and to escape that awful doom.
Many persons would like to be saved, but they say they are waiting God’s time. God knows the best and proper time for a man to be saved. He says it’s NOW.
There is no promise in God’s Word that a man will be saved next week, or next month, or next year, or when he comes to his deathbed, or at the eleventh hour, as some people foolishly say.
God’s pledge is that He will save a man when he believes on the Lord Jesus Christ—not when he says he believes, but when he does believe. His word is: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
“The time is short.” Eternity is near. The dark clouds of judgment are gathering and are about to burst on a Christless, guilty world. But before this takes place, the voice of God says: “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
“Come NOW, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18) is unequalled in Scripture for tender graciousness.
God’s word is “come,” and He tells you when to come: “now.” He concludes this magnificent verse with the promise of cleansing you from all your sins.
Another strikingly earnest verse is: “Acquaint NOW thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee” (Job 22:21). Again the word NOW confronts us. It tells us that THIS IS THE MOMENT to be acquainted with God by Christ Jesus—to be at peace with God through Christ. He has made peace for us with His precious blood, and only by its cleansing power can we be saved.
The invitation of Jesus is: “Come; for all things are NOW ready” (Luke 14:17). There is nothing left for the helpless sinner to do in the matter of the soul’s salvation but to believe. Christ did on the cross all that the glory of God required, and then He said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). He is in that glory today as proof that it is finished and that God is satisfied. NOW He can make known to you by the Holy Spirit through the Scriptures His present salvation for all lost sinners.
The devil tempts you to put off the salvation of your soul until tomorrow. Tomorrow is too late! Tomorrow is death, the grave, the lake of fire, the eternal cry of a damned soul. God would not say “NOW” so frequently in His Word if He did not mean it, or if there weren’t awful danger in delaying, or if tomorrow would do. It may be now or never for you. God grant that it may be NOW.

Being a true Christian means far more than living in a Christian land. In Revelation 3:1 we read of those who have a claim to life, but are dead. They are mere pretenders. They are counterfeits. They are not genuine. As a bad coin is a worthless imitation of a real one, so those who are Christian in name only are of no value as Christians. They will be judged and banished from God’s holy presence at the judgment seat of Christ.
What, then, is a true Christian?
He is cleansed! “The blood of Jesus Christ…cleanseth us from all sin.” Having come as a sinner to the Saviour, he is made whiter than snow in God’s holy sight (Isaiah 1:18).
He is redeemed! “Christ hath redeemed us.” He has bought us back from our slavery to sin and brought us back to God (Galatians 3:13).
He is enlightened! He was in darkness. He did not know what he was as a sinner. He did not know Christ the Saviour. Now he has light and can see clearly (Acts 26:18).
He is sanctified! He is set apart from all his former associations. He no longer belongs to the world. He belongs to Christ, and is called to walk so as to glorify Him (2 Corinthians 6:16-18).
He is trusting! He confides in Christ, and depends upon Him day by day for needed grace, strength, and wisdom (Hebrews 13:6).
He is accepted! God has put him in Christ’s place before His face, and so God’s thoughts of Him are measured by God’s thoughts of Christ (Ephesians 1:3-6).
He is made new! “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” He has been born again-born of God. He now has new desires-different from those he had when unconverted (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Are you then a true, born again Christian? If not, you are only a pretender. You need to come to Christ for salvation. Then you will have the joy and peace which belong to the true Christian. You will know that when He comes you will be caught up to meet Him in the air, and be forever with Him in heaven.
“What must I do to be saved?…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:30-31).

Dan greeted the visiting evangelist with a challenging smile. “I’m not so bad,” he said. “I must admit one little slip, when I got into trouble with the police, but I can show you a pile of reward books which I got for attendance and good conduct at Sunday school! Then I went to Bible class, and later attended church pretty regularly. Not too bad!”
“How old are you?” asked the Christian.
“Twenty-three.”
“Now listen,” said the other. “Won’t you admit that few days have passed that you haven’t had a foolish thought? God’s Word says: The thought of foolishness is sin. Have you also said silly things?”
“Well, of course!”
“The Lord Jesus Christ said that, ‘Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.’ Do you sometimes tell lies, or break laws, or lose your temper?”
“Every day!”
“You have admitted three sins a day; this means that on the lowest average you have committed no less than one thousand a year. On your own confession, you stand convicted of twenty-three thousand sins!”
Dan’s smile was gone now. Seriously, he asked, “What can I do?”
“You can do nothing but to take a sinner’s place and claim the sinner’s Saviour. Then you may be sure that ‘the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.’” There and then Dan, a convicted sinner, trusted the Saviour and rejoiced in the certainty of sins forgiven.
Use the same method the evangelist used with Dan. Try to add up your sins. It will give you a very faint idea of your own guilt and show you how impossible it is to make yourself right with God.
Thank God, what you never could do the Lord Jesus has done. “IT IS FINISHED!” was His dying cry. Redemption has been accomplished. Faith in a once-crucified, now-risen Saviour secures eternal blessing for you, “for if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).

“It is finished.” These three wonderful words contain the essence of the gospel. No unsaved person can properly understand their meaning. The gospel of the grace of God which tells what Christ has done for sinners-and not what they are to do for Him-when believed, is the power of God unto their salvation.
“It is finished” were the dying words of our truest, best and dearest Friend. The dying words of loved ones are long remembered and are not easily forgotten; when Christ uttered this triumphant cry He was in the act of giving up His soul as an offering for sin.
What was finished? His life of shame, of suffering and sorrow was ended. He had been “despised and rejected of men.” Many times He was weary, hungry and thirsty! That is all over. “For your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.”
The Lord Jesus appeared to “put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself” (Hebrews 9:26). When He died at Calvary a full and perfect atonement for sin was accomplished. Christ “poured out His soul unto death.” He “bare our sins in His own body on the tree.” The ransom has been paid. The penalty has been met. Peace has been made. The law’s demands have been fully met. God is fully satisfied with Christ’s finished work, and He desires that we should be satisfied with that which satisfies Him.
“Christ did His part and left us to do ours,” say some. In what part of Scripture is it stated that Christ did “His part” of the work of atonement? It was on account of our sins that He suffered and bled and died. If, then, God is eternally satisfied with what Christ did for you, what is left unfinished for you to do?
Don’t insult God by bringing your prayers, works, vows, tears, good resolutions or happy feelings to supplement the work of His beloved Son. Can you add to a “finished” work? Salvation has been purchased at an infinite cost; and is now offered to you as a free gift.
“Then said they to Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent” (John 6:28-29).

“I don’t believe in your doctrine,” said a sailor to a Christian. “My opinion is that if a man does the best he can, it will be all right with him in the end.”
“And is that the only way by which a man can get to heaven?”
“I believe so, and don’t you think it’s a good way?”
“Well, let’s see if it could ever work. How many times have you used profane language since you spoke to me?”
“Oh well, I have got into the habit of swearing, but I mean to give it up.”
“And is that the only sin you are guilty of?”
“Oh, no; I am not one of those people who pretend to be perfect.”
“Then you have not done the best you could. If that is the only way of getting to heaven, you have not the slightest chance of ever being there!”
The sailor had no more to say.
But do you expect to be saved by “doing your best”? This is not God’s way of salvation. What is the use of saying, “If a man does the best he can,” when God’s Word emphatically tells us that no one has ever done so? God says, “They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one” (Psalm 14:3).
You know well that you have done what you should not have done many, many times. You “don’t pretend to be perfect,” but one sin is enough to condemn you! “Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10).
The “best” that you can do is to admit that you are a helpless, guilty sinner, unable to do a single good deed to merit God’s forgiveness. When you see yourself as a sinner, you will be anxious to learn what the Lord Jesus Christ did to save you; when you see that everything was fully done by Him, you will stop talking about your “doing” and rest instead on what He has done.
Remember— “Christ died for our sins” and “the blood of Jesus Christ His [God’s] Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 Cor. 15:3; 1 John 1:7).

On the night of the Saviour’s birth, angel voices proclaimed, “On earth peace, good will toward men.” Yet in the so-called anniversary of that great event, the holiday season of goodwill just passed, how little “peace” was experienced! Everywhere there is war, or rumors of war, and men are fearful at what they see coming upon the earth.
When we think of the angel’s message of “on earth peace, good will toward men” we must remember one outstanding fact: when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, although the heavenly host proclaimed Him as the “Saviour, which is Christ the Lord,” there was found “no room” for Him at His birth, and when He grew to manhood He was still not wanted. He Himself said: “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20).
Isaiah in his prophecy concerning the Lord Jesus said: “He is despised and rejected of men.” On earth He was hated, reviled and crucified. The world still says in effect, “We will not have this man to reign over us” (Luke 19:14).
How can there be peace on earth when the Prince of peace has been cast out? Instead, bloodshed, misery and poverty are prevalent. Vice and crime are increasing, and man, like “the fool” referred to in the book of Proverbs would say, “No God”! Man was created to be upright and to glorify God, but almost immediately he disobeyed Him and sinned.
God is holy, and His holiness demands that He must punish sin. But “God is love,” and that love desires to bless His creature, man. Because of this great and blessed fact the Lord Jesus Christ, who is truly God, came down to earth that He might be the Saviour of sinful men and women. He died on Calvary’s cross that He might bear the punishment that was due to our sins. Scripture says, “Christ died for our sins” (1 Corinthians 15:3). He died, “the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God” (1 Peter 3:18).
This is a troubled world, a world that knows no peace. As a wise man has said, “On earth there’s a kingless throne, and in heaven a throneless King. Until that throneless King is on that kingless throne, there can be no peace on earth.”
But every individual can have real peace—peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Each one can face the New Year without dread or fear. How? Turn to God from your sinful condition. Repent of your rebellion toward Him, and believe that Christ died to cleanse you from all sin.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
That is God’s way to peace and happiness throughout the year.

Some of the ancient cliff-dwellers of Arizona had an interesting way of cleaning house. The smoke of their fires filled their old stone dwellings and covered their walls with a black layer of soot. When this became intolerable they did not wash or scrape it off, but calmly went to work and plastered over it a fresh white coat of a kind of mortar, one above the other—eleven layers of mortar—eleven housecleaning days, no one knows how many years apart.
We smile, but those who live in precisely such houses should not throw stones.
I don’t mean to say that we clean house in just this way, (though it is possible to find houses where there may be four or five layers of wallpaper, one over the other). What I do mean is the way many of us clean house in our own souls.
How we shrink from facing the dirt—the sin—within us! It seems so much easier to whitewash ourselves just as we are. So the whitewash is made up, a smooth blend of morality and respectability and self-righteousness, and it leaves the soul outwardly a fine bright white. But scratch it anywhere and—ugh! the black underneath!
Someday, in the white light of the holiness of God, all this whitewash will peel off and such soul-rooms will be seen to be pitch black—nothing but black—and black forever.
When God says, “Wash ye, make you clean” (Isaiah 1:16), He does not mean a little cosmetic polishing up of outward appearances nor a little more socially acceptable behavior. God desires “truth in the inward parts,” but, “who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” (Proverbs 20:9).
David, the writer of the Psalms, knew the only way to be cleansed from his sins. He prayed: “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy loving-kindness: according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin…. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow…. Create in me a clean heart, O God” (Psalm 51:1-2,7,10).
Cleansed from sin—whiter than snow—a clean heart—no whitewash there! Cleansed from sin—how?
There is only one way: “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).
It is only through faith in His blood that was shed on Calvary’s cross that we can be washed and clean and fit for the presence of God. No effort of our own can make us so, but believing and receiving His cleansing makes us “clean every whit.”
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18).
