... PERIOD

I saw a bumper sticker that said 'JESUS' (with a period attached). What a simple yet profound way to express the sufficiency of Christ.

HE IS ALL WE NEED ... PERIOD

Nothing that man comes up with can be added: not a doctrine, not a ritual, not a duty, not an ideology, not a discipline ... For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Believing you must somehow improve upon the finished work of Jesus Christ is a 'blind alley' that leads to a bad end. If you do not trust that everything has been accomplished on your behalf ... the 'narrow road' that leads to eternal life has been abandoned. 

HE IS ENOUGH ... PERIOD

Jesus is the 'Way' ... Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
Jesus is the 'Truth' ... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)
Jesus is the 'Life' ... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (John 1:4-5)

I need no other argument,
I need no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that he died for me. (
Hewitt)

HE IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH ... PERIOD

Assurance is found in Christ alone ... These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. (1 John 5:13)

Don't allow the traditions of men to corrupt the Gospel message. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone ... PERIOD.
