Who Do You Say That I Am?
Mat 16:15 Jesus said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
The Scripture testifies:
The Religion is Christ, the Truth is Christ, the Way is Christ, the Salvation is Christ, the Sacrifice is Christ, the Sabbath is Christ, the Law is Christ, the Commandment is Christ, the Rest is Christ, the Death is Christ, the Living is Christ, the Duty is Christ, the Righteousness is Christ, the Glory is Christ, the Life is Christ, the Love is Christ, the Longing is Christ - -
Christ is the express LOVE of God, therefore ONLY CHRIST can fulfill the Law, [love fulfills the all the demands of the law- Rom 13:10] and ONLY CHRIST WITHIN is our ONLY HOPE of glory. [Col 1:27] -- ALL of Heaven, All of Earth, ALL of the law, ALL of the prophecy, ALL things past, ALL things to come are completely satisfied in CHRIST- that Christ might be ALL IN ALL. ONLY CHRIST can give glory to God.
Now what will mere men offer to God to replace the offering of His own Son? Will we offer Him a day, or a duty, or a dime? God will accept nothing besides the sacrifice of His Son, but the sacrifice of His Son He accepts entirely, leaving nothing wanting nor undone. Whether the requirement be Justice, or Holiness, or Righteousness, or Offerings, or Sacrifice, or Reconciliation, the requirement of God and the rest of mortals, has been fulfilled, and is finished and complete in Jesus Christ. Now except Christ be IN us, we are castaways, still far removed from God. [2Co 13:5] The only thing left for us to do, and indeed the only thing we can do, is to believe, and call upon Him.
ESV Col 2:6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,
Col 2:7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
Col 2:9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
Col 2:10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.
Col 2:11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
Col 2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Col 2:14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
Col 2:15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
2Co 5:18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
