Christ Is God's Everything for You

This afternoon (at 2:00) I will have the privilege of interviewing Harold J. Chadwick on my blog radio show, "We're Talking Books." I consider Harold to be a personal friend--a brother who possesses great wisdom and compassion. His new book is entitled, "Christ Is God's Everything for You."

Harold writes, "The Gospel of Jesus Christ is intended by God to bring joy, peace, righteousness, and rest to all those who believe in His Son. Christ is the fulfillment of the glorious promise made to Abraham--the promise of the Spirit and eternal justification by faith that the Old Covenant prophets and saints looked for in faith but never received. It was the promise whereby those who had struggled to live righteously under the burden of the 613 laws of the Old Covenant, would be made righteous by an imputation of righteousness by God because of the sacrificial death of Christ on their behalf."

Harold loves Jesus, knows the Bible, and walks closely with the Lord. He is now an octogenarian, but his wit, wisdom, and youthful outlook remain steady. One night in my home, as he shared the Scriptures with us, I felt a great sense of peace and the presence of the Lord. I expect we will experience the same in my interview with him today.

Is Christ God's everything for you? Have you accepted Him as your personal Savior and Lord? Do you have an intimate relationship with Him? Harold writes, "All the things that God has for us in this life are contained in Christ, and all things that God has for us through the endless ages of eternity are also contained in Christ, for He himself is all of those things. In Heaven as on Earth, there is nothing for us outside of Christ. He is God's everything for us here and will be God's everything for us there!"
