The Sufficiency of Christ

[The Church of Nigeria] 10 Oct 2008--There are people in our modern world that refused to accept the creed or control of the Church, I mean people who profess to be Christians or believers on one hand, and on other think that professed faith is not sufficient to carry them through the odds of our present age. Sometimes the pluralistic nature of our society and culture tend to encourage such stand.

It is perfectly true that the church does not seek to impose upon men a flat uniformity of believe, ‘but there are certain things which a man must believe to be a Christian, the greatest of which is the all-sufficiency of Christ’.

So then, in this world without Christ, there is nothing but disunity. That disunity is not God’s purpose but can become a unity only when all things are united in Christ. As E.F. Scott has it; “The innumerable broken strands were to be brought together in Christ, knotted again into one, as they had been in the beginning.”
