Enemies Of Christ

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: - Philippians 3:18

    Throughout eternity, the person and redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ will shine as the gemstone of the revealed purpose of almighty God. The incarnation of Christ, and his work of redemption in the salvation of the elect, is the heart and soul of all that God has done and is doing in the creation of all things. It is the beauty and glory of heaven. The person and work of Christ is the theme of all Scripture, and he is the Lamb in the midst of the throne in heaven. He is the light, life, and joy of the saints on earth, and the wonder of saints and angels in glory. He glorified the Father here on earth, and is now glorified with the glory that he had with the Father, before the world was (Jn 17:5).

    All the attributes and virtues of God are wonderfully, explicitly, yet incomprehensibly, displayed in the glorious person and perfect redemption of sinful men by the Lord Jesus Christ. To mar this glorious truth with man and his demented religion would be the work of a madman. The proponents of so-called free will and human merit are enemies of God and his Christ, and enemies of men’s souls. Christ alone is worthy of praise, honor, and glory, because he alone redeemed us to God by his own blood (Heb 9:12). This is his people’s song here on earth and in heaven; And they sung a new song, saying, thou art worthyto take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Rv 5:9).
