“Is Christ alone sufficient? Is Christ all that we need? Unfortunately, often we do not realize that Christ is all that we need until He is all that we have!
Would we be complete and content with only Him? Christ is not only my Savior; He is also my Satisfier because Christ is fully sufficient to meet every one of my needs. Nothing else will satisfy but Him because He is the Living Water (see John 4:13-14; 7:37) and the Bread of Life (see John 6:35). When I endeavor to find my satisfaction in any other person or thing, it is like trying to drink from a broken cistern that can hold no water (see Jeremiah 2:13).
“Is Christ alone sufficient? Is Christ all that we need? Unfortunately, often we do not realize that Christ is all that we need until He is all that we have!
Perhaps God’s greatest desire for us is to recognize our need of Him and find our satisfaction and sufficiency in Him. If there is a “formula” for living the Christian life, it is simply: Jesus Christ plus nothing equals everything!” Jerry Benjamin, “Simply Singular- Is Christ Prominent or Preeminent?”, p. 18.

Excellent quote. I’ve been convicted many times over reading Jerry Benjamin’s booklets. He never fails to exhort the believer to constantly keep one’s gaze upon Jesus Christ alone. He’s a rare breed as far as today’s teachers go.
It’s also refreshing to come across another saint who is familiar with his writings! Thank you.
May we all spur one another onto the high calling which is in Christ Jesus, leaving the love for this world behind!
Unity,
Saw this today and wanted to spread it around. When you read it, you’ll understand why. Matthew 24:24 springs to mind…
This info taken from “The New Church”, a worldwide New Age “christian” church that pretty much guarantees its followers will face Hell first-hand.

They pretty much say “poo-poo” on that whole Jesus and His “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” speech. The enemy is working overtime these days, isn’t he?
———————————-
The requirements for salvation are simple: live well, believe rightly, and you will be saved. We believe that all people who live good lives, no matter what their religion, have a place in heaven. Heaven is limitless in its capacity for angels, in fact, the more angels there are, the more heaven thrives. Everyone born on this earth has been predestined for heaven. The only reason someone would go to hell is because they have chosen to go there of their own volition.
In determining whether or not we have lived well, God leads us to assess the whole of our lives — the highs and lows, causes and effects, the mistakes made and genuinely good things done. If there is any possible way He can lead us into heaven, He will. In other words, it’s pretty difficult to go to hell. God’s greatest wish for us is that we find our highest happiness within the angel body. Those who choose hell are people who put themselves above all else, repeatedly indulging in things which are hurtful to others. The only reason hell exists is to preserve the freedom of choice which God grants to all His people.
We play an active role in our salvation every day of our lives. When we look to the Divine and live according to what we believe is right, we move closer towards heaven. If we shun good, we move closer to hell. Thus, salvation and freedom of choice are inseparable from each other.
Salvation is not dependent on the doctrinal specifics of the religion you have followed on earth. As long as you have lived a life acknowledging God and refraining from evil because it is against Him, you will be saved. Acknowledging God does not necessarily mean recognizing Him by name. A person can be ignorant of religion and still acknowledge God by living a life of goodwill. This is because the choices that we make on a daily basis are what determine whether we end up in heaven or hell. Yes, worshipping God is essential for admittance into heaven, but we worship Him through the actions of our lives.
It’s so interesting that no matter how creatively false new spirituality religions try to spread their lies, it always boils down to two simple lies embedded in their doctrines. First, ultimately there is no judgment from God. Second, Jesus is only one of many enlightened/ascended masters. Apparently Jesus, although God, just didn’t get it right when came some 2,000 years ago. “No,” they’ll say. “He got it right, but men corrupted it over time.” So another man, in this case Emanuel Swedenborg, an eighteenth century scientist and theologian, put together more perfect teachings than God. How interesting that this man Emanuel was more perfect in his writings than God. If this wasn’t so tragic it would almost be funny.
