“Put on the new man which was created according to God,
in true righteousness and holiness.”
EPHESIANS 4:24
The
old man (self) is put off, and the New Man (Christ) is put on – this is
Christianity. Christ then becomes my
Righteousness and my Holiness. But too many of us take a natural,
intellectual approach to Christianity. We think if only we can instruct
people concerning the tenets of our faith, or persuade them with a
logical argument, or woo them with some emotional plea, then we will
have disciples. This is a falsehood. That is not Spirit and Life.
Christianity
is not memorizing certain doctrines or disseminating a systematic
theology or having people
repeat a so-called “Sinner’s Prayer.” Christianity is becoming one with a
God-Man! You can have all the other in its proper place, but for too
long that “other” has been offered as Christianity. And so people touch
our beliefs, our doctrines, our religion, our theology, our zeal, but
they do not touch a Living Christ.
