Why is Christ being enough important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's sufficiency is central to the Christian faith, offering complete salvation and fulfillment beyond works.
The significance of Christ being enough is pivotal in Reformed theology, emphasizing that salvation cannot be earned through human effort but is a gift of grace. The sermon illustrates this by comparing Jacob's acceptance of the news of Joseph to how believers should respond to the gospel: with faith that affirms, 'It is enough.' This is echoed in Christ's statement from the cross, 'It is finished,' indicating that no further action is needed for salvation. Therefore, recognizing Christ as sufficient protects us from the error of self-reliance and nurtures a life rooted in dependence on His grace.
