Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Building on this very core foundation are additional truths, that are closely associated by extension, one of them being that it is Christ’s death, just as much as His life that has guaranteed our salvation. We are more than conquerors over the grave, because of His death, but Jesus’s life of righteousness is just as important, for both accomplishments factor in to make our salvation certain and permanent.
If Christ had slipped up just once in His incarnation, His death would have been rendered useless in the restoration of man to the first dominion, and thus, it is His own righteousness that is bequeathed to us as a spotless garment, that makes us fit to be called the sons and daughters of God.
Whenever these aforementioned pillars of truth are understood, believed and appropriated to ourselves it becomes very difficult to shake our relationship in Christ. The floods may come and many winds may blow, and in the heat of the moment we may not be able to remember all of the twenty-seven doctrines of the church, but if we never lose sight of Christ, it is near impossible to shake our foundation.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
