Welcome and thanks for joining us as we continue our sermon series " What We Believe" based on the New City Catechism. If Christ alone provides everything needed for salvation, why do we still try to earn God’s approval through our own efforts? What would change in your life if you truly rested in Christ rather than looking anywhere else for security or acceptance? We'll explore these questions in this message from our Lead Pastor Stefan Bomberger.
JESUS IS ENOUGH
1. The Fullness of Christ (Col. 1:19-20; 2:9-10)
2. The Failure of Self-Reliance (Luke 18:14)
3. The Danger of Denial (Matthew 7:22–23)
NEW CITY CATECHISM
Q33. Should those who have faith in Christ seek their salvation through their own works, or anywhere else?
A33. No, they should not, as everything necessary to salvation is found in Christ. To seek salvation through good works is a denial that Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior (WCF 7.3, 8.1, 8.5, 8.8, 11.1, 14.2, 16.5; WLC 70, 71; WSC 30, 33).
