The sentimental religious movements of today have none of the rugged reality of the New Testament. Nothing in what they teach requires the death of Jesus Christ. All they require is prayer and devotion and a pious atmosphere. This type of religious experience isn\u2019t supernatural or miraculous. It didn\u2019t cost the passion of God. It isn\u2019t dyed in the blood of the Lamb or stamped with the Holy Spirit. It doesn\u2019t have the quality that makes people say with awe and wonder, \u201cThat<\/em> is the work of God Almighty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The type of Christian experience the New Testament talks about is the experience of personal, passionate devotion to the person of Jesus Christ. Every other type of so-called Christian experience is detached from the person of Jesus. There\u2019s no regeneration\u2014no being born again into the kingdom where Christ lives\u2014only the idea that he is a role model. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is Savior long before he is a role model. Today he is often dismissed as the mere figurehead of a religion or as an example we should follow. Jesus Christ adalah<\/em> a figurehead and an example, but he is also infinitely more. He is Salvation itself. He is the Gospel of God.<\/p>\n

Jesus said, \u201cWhen he, the Spirit of truth, comes, . . . he will glorify me\u201d (John 16:13\u201314). When I commit myself to the revelation made in the New Testament, I receive from God the gift of the Holy Spirit, who begins to interpret to me what Jesus did, who does in<\/em> me what Jesus Christ did for<\/em> me. This is the supernatural, miraculous means by which I enter into a personal relationship with my Lord and become absolutely his.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
