Salvation Through Jesus Alone

Sometimes Christian men have to make hard decisions. Moments in life remind us that quite a few things either are or aren't. Light and dark, hot and cold, on and off, in and out, for or against, truth or lie. The world doesn't want to accept that certain things just are what they are. The Gospel includes grace for all those who believe and repent which means turn to God alone for their salvation through Jesus Christ alone. Sometimes it seems easier or simpler to add options or to avoid being too specific and clear in what you believe. Don't do it. There is no scripture of private interpretation and there is no Christianity with additions or subtractions. No matter how bad we want something or how convoluted our reasoning allowing us to add something to God's simple truth, the simple truth of God is the only truth. It holds. It stands. It is unbreakable. It cannot be marred, amended, appended, or redacted. Let us as Christian men be aware that there are many teachings and many people pushing those teachings that would like to be added to the "ordinances" of the kingdom. To allow any additional qualifications for salvation is to jeopardize the impact of the gospel and to lose the power there-in contained for salvation which of course we need in order to do the work the Lord has given us to do. To put some aspect of the gospel away is to completely put away the only tool we have that works for the only job we have. #reachingnewheightsinjesus
