A Right Relationship With Christ

When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, 'I do not know where you come from.' Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' But he will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!' - Luke 13:25-27

What is Enough

“To say the words Christ or Jesus or gospel does not help anybody. The Lord Jesus taught that many “christs” would come. The words must contain the content God Himself has given about who Christ is, what Christ has done, and therefore what the gospel is.”

“No, not everyone in the professing church will be saved and accepted by Christ. It is not enough to use the name of God or the name of Christ or to be in the visible church.”

“What is enough is believing the content that can be known on the basis of God’s revelation of Himself, that which He has revealed in space-time history, that which can be truly and reasonably comprehended from the Scripture. I need to know God truly in His self-revealed existence and character. I need to know the real Christ in His person and finished work. I need a right relationship with the God who is really there. In short, I need a right relationship with Christ as my Savior and with the living God as my God. Nothing short of this is enough.”
