What is Christianity? By George
Everard. Christ is All. Colossians chapter
3 verse 11. What is Christianity? Christianity
centers in the glorious person of Christ. The aim and purpose
of every scripture truth is to fix the eye on Christ himself.
He is the Alpha and Omega of Christianity. From him proceeds
every ray of spiritual light. To Him all believing hearts are
drawn. The Christian finds consolation
and strength only in Him. Every motive for Christian living
is from Him. The glorious privileges which
Christians possess can only be enjoyed from union and communion
with Him. Their highest standard of duty
is to follow His footsteps and to walk even as He walked. Christianity,
in fact, is Christ. It is. Christ in the Scriptures
Christ in the manger, Christ on the cross, Christ the risen
one, Christ the ascended one, Christ the prophet, the priest,
the king, Christ in his glorious appearing to be revealed from
heaven with his mighty angels. All our trust, all our love,
all our obedience is due to him. The more the eye and the heart
is turned fully towards Him, the more true and genuine is
our Christianity. Do not I love you, O my Lord?
Behold my heart and see, And turn each cursed idol out, That
dares to rival Thee. You know I love you, dearest
Lord, But, O, I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal
joys, And learn to love you more. Philip Doddridge
