FAITH LAYS HOLD ON CHRIST ALONE

FAITH LAYS HOLD ON CHRIST ALONE

The first experience of faith must be toward God in Christ Jesus; true faith, which is the gift of God, has for its object Christ alone, not the blessings and promises themselves. The Scripture says, “Let Israel HOPE IN THE LORD: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption” (Psalm 130:7). The sinner is not to set his thoughts on the blessings that he wants, but he is to look to, go to, and embrace the LORD Jesus Christ; for He Himself is the source of mercy and the fountain of redemption. If we have Him, we have all that He is. David said in Psalm 142:5, “I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.”
We have to venture the whole salvation of our souls on Christ, and on Christ alone. Paul writing to the Galatians said in 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” We must cut loose completely from all other hopes and trusts. You say “But if I believe in God that is sufficient.” No, no, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (I Timothy 2:5-6). Someone would say, “Must not I come to Christ feeling a need to be saved?” No, when you wait upon feelings you are waiting to bring something other than what you are, which is purely a sinner. Nowhere in the Bible will you find feelings a warrant for believing. “For feelings come and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving; my warrant is the Word of God, naught else is worth believing” (Martin Luther).
We must not rest partly on Christ and partly on doing all that we can. All that we do, and all we can do adds nothing to a person’s salvation. In the matter of our justification Christ is ALL, in the matter of our sanctification Christ is ALL, in the matter of our reconciliation Christ is ALL. This is the doctrine of the Bible. Heaven is before us and Christ is the only door into it; hell is beneath us and Christ is the only deliverance from it; the law is against us and Christ alone is able to deliver us from its curse; the wages of sin is death and Christ alone retired the debt.
