What does the Bible say about our need for Christ?
Answered in 5 sources
The Bible emphasizes that every sinner needs Christ to speak effectively to their heart, revealing Himself and giving them a new spirit.
In Luke 4:22-24, we see that the natural response of every sinner to the gospel is skepticism, but what every sinner truly needs is for Christ to speak powerfully into their hearts. He must reveal Himself to us in His fullness, so we can come to know His person and work. Moreover, since our natural hearts are proud and selfish, we need Christ to create in us an entirely new spirit that aligns with His love and grace. This transformation begins with a revelation of who Christ truly is—God’s Son and our Savior.
