If you have nothing but have Christ, you have all things. If you have everything but do not have Christ, you have nothing.

  1. THE ONLY PLACE FOR SALVATION (Acts 4:12)

    1. No one else
    2. No other name given from heaven
    3. We must be saved
  2. CHRIST IS ALL IN ALL (Colossians 3:11)

    1. Christ is the subject
    2. All in all is the verb
    3. Christ brings us all things (Romans 11:36)
      1. Christ brings us righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30)
      2. Christ brings to us sanctification (1 Corinthians 1:30)
      3. Christ brings to us acceptance (Ephesians 1:6)
      4. Christ brings to us assistance (Philippians 4:13)
      5. Christ brings to us peace with God (John 15:27)
      6. Christ brings us remuneration (Revelation 22:12)
  3. THE MAN WITHOUT CHRIST LACKS ALL THINGS

  1. He lacks justification (Acts 13:39)
  2. He lacks the beauty of holiness (John 1:16)
  3. He lacks no true nobility (Hebrews 11:16) (John 4:48)
  4. He lacks freedom (John 8:36)
  5. He lacks ability (John 15:5)
  6. He lacks consolation (Luke 2:25)
  7. He has no salvation (Ephesians 5:23)

What about you? 1. Set high value on the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. Make sure you have Christ. 3. See your need of Christ, then surrender to Christ.
