SEPTEMBER 6 READING…COLOSSIANS 2
People are troubled by the thought and truth that biblical Christianity is an exclusive faith. What I mean is that it leaves no other room for any other way to God and salvation except through Jesus. The world does not mind that Jesus was a teacher, a miracle worker, or one who took care of the poor…but what that cannot tolerate is the Jesus is the ONLY Savior for all mankind. There is no other…and there is no other way to God and salvation. Paul tells us that it is Jesus…not Jesus plus mankind’s philosophy, not Jesus plus the traditions of mankind, and not Jesus plus religion…it’s just Jesus. In Jesus dwells the fullness of God in bodily form. Jesus gives us freedom to have a relationship with God our Father and Creator…and only Jesus makes this possible. Legalism adds nothing to our relationship with God…it only diminishes it. If we are dead to ourselves and to our flesh…what can they add to our relationship with God? Jesus disarmed the enemy of our souls, Satan, and made a public spectacle of his powerlessness in comparison to the power of God. We have all we need in Jesus…so live in Him, and see how He will always bless and enrich your life!
Please share your thoughts.
