The Primary Point of the Christian Life

Worshipping God through Jesus is the main idea and primary point of the Christian life.

If we are to respond properly to God we must, this side of the Fall and the Cross, come to God through Jesus Christ and be reconciled to Him, regenerated, born again to a living hope, Spirit-indwelt new creations, new worshippers living by faith. No longer living for ourselves but for Him who died and rose again on our behalf (2 Cor. 5:14-15); walking by the Spirit so we will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

Col 1:15-23 speaks of Jesus' supremacy and all-sufficiency. It answers the questions: who is Jesus Christ? And Do you know Him?
There is no middle ground. On these two questions hang everything. We must know, follow, love, adore Christ. He is the sum and substance of the Christian life. Either a person knows God through Jesus Christ or they do not know God. John 17:3 says that eternal life is knowing God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.

You must be a believer in Jesus Christ to truly worship God. We worship God because He commands, encourages and enables it. Knowing that Christ's blood washes our sins away only leaves us saying hallelujah what a Savior and thank you Jesus! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! May Jesus Christ be first in our Iives functionally as He is positionally in the universe.

"Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised" Psalm 48:1.
