Resolved: It's Only Him--Christ Plus Nothing.

Hey, Y'all,

In thinking about the last couple of RSTs (as well as the last few Sabbath School discussions) the same resounding theme keeps coming through (and interestingly it showed up in this thought from PurposeDrivenLife.com a few days ago)...

Paul's message is radically simple:
For the Christian, salvation is through Christ alone.


That means –

· It's not Christ plus your good behavior.
· It's not Christ plus the years you've taught a Bible study.
· It's not Christ plus your tithe (and church budget).
· It's not Christ plus fasting and prayer.
· It's not Christ plus the number of verses you memorize.
· It's not Christ plus well-behaved children.
· It's not Christ plus your newly shined shoes.
· It's not Christ plus the right job.
· It's not Christ plus the perfect spouse.
· It's not Christ plus the latest gadget.
· It's not Christ plus the church you attend.
· It's not Christ plus your position in the church.
· It's not Christ plus wisdom from the latest Christian seminar.

It's simply Him--

Christ plus nothing.

Think about it: is there something you think you need to do or achieve to be fully accepted by God? Are you adding to Scripture, changing it to read, "I resolve to know nothing except Jesus PLUS…?"

You've been prayed for today...
