Why is a high view of Christ important for Christians?

Understanding the supremacy and holiness of Christ is crucial for any believer's faith. As Todd Nibert highlights in his sermon, a low view of Christ leads to reliance on personal merit or experience, which can undermine true faith. When we see Christ for who He truly is—sovereign, holy, and gracious—we are moved to acknowledge our complete dependence on Him. This perspective compels us toward worship, humbles our pride, and reminds us that our righteousness and standing before God come solely through Him. The sentiment echoed in Romans 5:6, where it emphasizes that while we were still sinners, Christ died for the ungodly, reinforces this truth that elevating Christ leads us to recognizing our need for His grace.
