LEARNING CHRIST
It
is of the utmost importance that we learn Christ, not the doctrine of
our denomination, not how to live a better life, but to learn Christ,
for He is salvation. The only way we will learn our lost, dead
condition is by learning Christ. Then and only then will we come to
Christ for salvation.
• When we learn Christ our Righteousness, then we will learn our unrighteousness and run to Christ "that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" [II CORINTHIANS 5:21].
• When we learn Christ the Just, then we will learn that we are unjust and run to Christ, who died "the just for the unjust that He might bring us to God" [I PETER 3:18].
• When we learn Christ the Way, then we will learn that we are lost and come to Christ the only way of salvation [JOHN 14:6].
• When we learn Christ the Life, then we will learn that we are dead and come to Christ that we might have life in Him [JOHN 10:9-10].
• When we learn Christ the Truth, then we will learn that we, and all men, are liars and come to Christ who is the Truth of God [JOHN 8:32].
• When we learn Christ is "that bread of life" [JOHN 6:35, 48], then we will learn that we are empty and come to Christ who "filleth all in all" [EPHESIANS 1:23].
May
we be taken up with learning Christ and not be as those the apostle
Paul warned of who are "Ever
learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
[II TIMOTHY
3:7].
