There is a simplicity in Christ, a singleness offering to me and requiring of me a sincere and pure devotion to Jesus as the Christ. Jesus is the one; the Messiah; the anointed one sent by the father to save his people from their sins. Jesus is all and is in all. He is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through faith in Jesus as the Messiah. My work, then, is to believe that Jesus is the Messiah and to live and move in that belief.

I study to know my Lord Jesus and God my heavenly father; to know who he says he is and what all that means in my understanding of the father. I have everything pertaining to life and godliness through the knowledge of God as heavenly father and Almighty sovereign. Then I am active and ruthless to apply that knowledge of God and his word to my thoughts, pretensions, high places, and strongholds of beliefs that hold themselves up against the knowledge of God’s word and provision.
