Christ Only!

(1Corinthians 15:2) “By which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.”

It is one thing to doubt our salvation because of our own short comings, because we find volatility a constant enemy. But must never find an excused in doubting our Saviour as the only Way, the only Truth and the most certainly the only one who can provide us with eternal life. If this comes into regular question then we must consider if we are truly saved. Salvation is a gift of God and we cannot earn it but we may seek it out, we have the opportunity to cry out onto God and wrestle with Him in earnestness to find His favour. But we must never lose sight of how it is we will find His support, it will only and always be through His Glorious Son, Jesus Christ the Lord, there can be and there will be no other way to find His goodwill. Therefore if you doubt His existence then I can assure you need salvation, I would encourage you to call out and repent of you unbelief, confess your sin to the Lord Jesus, step out in faith, trusting that God will do a work in you. When He acts it will be certain, how I love His ability to change people hearts and their perceptions. One day you think you understand and argue your point with others and the next day you humble find yourself sitting at the feet of Jesus and your perceptions have taken on a makeover as you now believe the truth and are no longer deceived with a lie. Thank you Jesus for your amazing act on Calvary and all that necessitates. Please be merciful for all those who struggle to see you as the truth, the way and the life.

For all of us who have seen and now understand that there can be no other way to the Father but by the Son, let us hold fast to the word that was preach and saved us. It was by the power of the Spirit, but it was through the preaching of the Word that cause life to revive us. Paul uses a strong tone in encouragement and instructs us to “hold fast” but we are to hold onto the Word which was preached, we must never forget the importance of sound doctrine. We must never make an allowance for any other god or anything that opposes the Word who is the Lord Jesus; (John 1:1) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” We must remember not to give even an inch on this truth, never! It is so vital, it will carry us well into eternity and it will affect family and friends who have not yet bowed the knee to the Lord Jesus, it must as He has the power to quicken the dead to life. (John 1:12) “But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:” Therefore we must only preach and share what is true to others if we accommodate anything outside of Christ it will never be able to produce life, the sooner we learn this lesson, the more affective we will be as witnessing Christians. Paul puts it this way, (1Corinithians 2:2) “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.”

May your day be filled with boldness to declare your commitment unto the King of Kings, may your witness bring forth fruit to the Glory of our King.
