* The PURPOSE for the Gospel of Christ (Grace) is meant for saving. Religion's primary purpose "with" the Word is for behavior modification. To preach a "Jesus" Who offers One thing in EXCHANGE for another, is to abolish/annul God's Grace and Great Sacrifice. There is only ONE Truth, One Way and One PURPOSE with which to preach; in the Bible- Christ Jesus and Him Crucified for the SALVATION of sinners. Only offer Salvation and let the Listener make his/her OWN decision, AND do NOT judge, you don't have the authority to do so.
1 Timothy 1:15-16 15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
John 12:46-48 46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. 47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do NOT judge that person. For I did NOT come to judge the world, BUT TO SAVE the world. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
1 Corinthians 2:1-2 When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. 2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
Galatians 6:14-15 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
Philippians 3:2-3 2 Watch out for those dogs, those people who do evil, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved. 3 For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put NO confidence in human effort
Philippians 3:7-9 7-9 The very credentials these people are waving around as something special, I’m tearing up and throwing out with the trash—along with everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ. Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant—dog CRAP. I’ve dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him. I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ—God’s righteousness.
