Why a Rediscovery of Christ Alone is Vital

Philosophically, you can believe anything, so long as you do not claim it to be true. Morally, you can practice anything, so long as you do not claim that it is a better way Religiously, you can hold to anything, so long as you do not bring Jesus Christ into it. Ravi Zacharias

What the Bible Says About the Supremacy of Christ

For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many gods and many lords ), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:5,6

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men the testimony given in its proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5,6

Christians do not claim uniqueness for Christianity as a system but only for Christ himself as a historical person and uniquely qualified mediator. John Stott

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

Who Pioneered a Reemphasis on Faith for Us

To truly understand human nature we must look to Jesus Christ, the True Human, in whom we can see the restoration of our corrupted nature fully embodied. John Calvin

How We Show Ourselves to be Christ Alone People

1. We live in a world and culture of competing lords.

The supremacy of 2. Jesus is highlighted in the Bible and open to examination.

Therefore since we are God s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone an image made by man s design and skill. Acts 17:29

In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. Acts 17:30

For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising Him from the dead. Acts 17:31

It is the supremacy 3. of Jesus we proclaim, not the supremacy of our insight.

Jesus is not simply 4. the better way or the best way; He s the only way of salvation.

It s not arrogant to 5. proclaim Jesus as supreme; it s loving because it offers liberation to others.

I ve always said, you know, that I don t respect people who don t proselytize [evangelize]. I don t respect that at all. If you believe that there s a heaven and hell, and people could be going to hell, or not getting eternal life or whatever, and you think that, well, it s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward

How much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much to you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that? I mean, if I believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that a truck was coming at you and you didn t believe it, and that truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that. Penn Jillette

Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.

Now to Him who is able to establish you by my Gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, Romans 16:25

but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey Him Romans 16:26

to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. Romans 16:27

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Colossians 1:15

For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16

He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17

And He is the head of the body, the Church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy. Colossians 1:18
