The mainspring is broken.

God's intention has been thwarted.

In many instances the Gospel no longer is producing godly people.

The false doctrines of "free grace" and the any-moment pre-tribulation "rapture," because of the false sense of security they engender, have brought much confusion and caused many believers to lapse into sin.

The secular governments have lost their moral direction because the "light of the world," the good works of Christ's believers, has been extinguished.

If we do not have widespread repentance on the part of God's people, a return to godly living and godly preaching, our nation is doomed.

The preachers of today have stressed Divine grace as an alternative to godly living, claiming that if a person "confesses Christ" he is saved whether or not he lives a righteous life. What can such teaching do other than destroy the moral strength of the churches?

The teachers of today have stressed the building of churches and large numbers of people in attendance rather than the moral transformation of the believers. What can we expect other than the fleshly, self-willed congregations we now have?

The terror of the Lord has departed from us. We do not work out our own salvation with fear and trembling We believe we need have no fear of the Judgment Seat of Christ. Is it any wonder sin abounds?

The ministers of today are preaching "Slip up your hand, let Jesus into your heart," instead of "Repent!" We have changed the Gospel message. People get "saved"without repenting, which is to say they get "healed" without being healed.

We are assuming that every person who makes a profession of Christ will rise to meet Him in the air at His appearing. We are not doing what Paul commanded. We are not seeking to know the power of Christ's resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.

We are ignorant of the need to overcome, assuming that all the rewards assigned to the overcomer will be given to the defeated believer on the basis of "grace."

We are assuming that eternal life, glorification, and all the rewards to the victorious saint are imputed (ascribed) to us whether or not there is any effort or change on our part.

We are emphasizing we are saved by faith alone apart from any actual transformation of personality, any new creation. "The just shall live by faith" has come to mean if we believe the facts of redemption—facts known to be true by the demons—we will go to Paradise when we die.

We think it is acceptable for us leave Moses and yet not marry Christ, remaining a spiritual single bound by no law.

We view the Christian salvation as a device to save the unchanged natural man and to bring him to a spiritual-material paradise on the basis of "grace."

None of the above is true. None of the above is of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

The true salvation, the only true Divine redemption, takes place as the believer enters the atoning death of the Lord Jesus and His triumphant resurrection. Flesh and blood cannot possibly enter the Kingdom of God. It is only as we change from a mortal soul to a life-giving spirit that we enter the Kingdom of God.

Salvation is the Lord Jesus Christ. To the extent we possess Him in our personality we possess salvation and all the riches of the glory of the inheritance of the sons of God. The part of our personality that is not of the Lord Jesus is corrupt and will still be corrupt in the Day of the Lord. (from The Mainspring)
