“We know that the Son of God has come
and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him…”
1 JOHN 5:20
There
is a difference between salvation and a Savior;
between deliverance and a Deliverer; between healing and a Healer;
between redemption and a Redeemer. The first is a “thing,” the second is
a Person. This may sound self-evident and elementary, but before God
the difference is vast, and in actual experience the difference is
incalculable. If we are not clear on the matter of His Son we will find
the Christian life very difficult, if not impossible, to live. I have
the “thing” because I have Him; having Him, I do not need to search for
the
“thing” anymore.
What
do you have? An experience? A word? A doctrine? A belief? Or a Man?
This is the difference between a living Christianity and a dead
religion.
