CHRIST IS ALL
My
sins may grieve me, and indeed they do, but since Christ is all,
since my salvation is based entirely on what He has done, what I have
done is of no eternal consequence. Such a statement may trouble the
mind of the legalist, for he simply cannot believe that his actions
do not determine his destiny. However, the believer knows that God
has "Predestinated
us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ,"
Ephesians 1:5.
The
believer's destiny has been determined by God, and secured by the
person and merits of Jesus Christ. Will such preaching breed a sinful
life or an antinomian spirit? Only in those who do not believe!
However, in those who do believe, in whose heart resides the blessed
hope of being like Christ, it is a purifying truth. "And
every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is
pure,"
(I John 3:3). Christ is ALL and that is all.
