No life is complete until it is hid in Christ. It is in Him and Him alone that we find completion. Salvation, sanctification, and satisfaction find their completeness in Christ.
He is the Source from which all of life flows. It is in Him that our human capacity for the enjoyment of life is filled. In fact, in Him, all is limitless; there is no measuring rod to go by. Unless it be an eternal measuring rod!
We insult Christ when we tag on to Him additives. We rob Him of His fullness by supplementing anything else. If we are to share in His fullness, it must be Christ and Christ alone. The focus must be on Him and nothing else. A rich relationship with God is only to be found in His only beloved Son
It is not Christ plus, or Christ and; it is Christ alone!
Jesus Christ is made to me,
All I need, all I need,
He alone, is all my plea,
He is all I need.
Wisdom, righteousness and pow’r,
Holiness this very hour,
My redemption full and free,
He is all I need.
Jesus is my all in all,
All I need, all I need,
While He keeps I cannot fall,
He is all I need.
He redeemed me when He died,
All I need, all I need,
I with Him was crucified,
He is all I need.
To My Saviour will I cleave,
All I need, all I need,
He will not His servant leave,
He is all I need.
He's the treasure of my soul,
All I need, all I need,
He hath cleansed and made me whole,
He is all I need.
Glory, glory to the Lamb,
All I need, all I need,
By His Spirit sealed I am,
He is all I need.

Amen brother. SO many churches preach Christ plus something else as though Christ’s one sacrifice for all was not sufficient. Alas it most certainly was. Heard a tape this morning from the late Donald Barnhouse on this very matter.
