The Resources of the Christian Life

The World Missionary Conference, held in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1910, brought together 1300 delegates from various Protestant denominations worldwide.

They came on foot, bicycle, horse drawn vehicle, motorcar, tram, train, and sailing vessel. Some were even treated to their first steamship voyage.

An air of eager anticipation thrilled each heart as they waited for the presentation entitled, “The Resources of the Christian Life”. Little did the audience know that the most profound truth of Christianity since apostolic times was about to be stated.

An attendee at this meeting reported, “I expected him to give us a series of definite things that we could do to strengthen our Christian life; and I knew I needed them...”

The speaker stood up at the pulpit and his opening words were, “The resources of the Christian life, my friends, are — ”

Had you been there, what would you have expected him to say next?

What would be considered the necessary resources of the Christian life today?

Inspiring books and DVDs?

24/7 Radio and television broadcasts?

Captivating Power-point presentations?

What the keynote speaker said that day changed the life of this attendee forever. We also could find here the secret to victorious Christian living.

So, what was the remainder of the statement made by that keynote speaker in 1910?

What are the resources of the Christian life?

He said, “The resources of the Christian life, my friends, are just —

Jesus Christ.”

The Resources Of The Christian Life

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 1 Corinthians 4:5

Caution! Should you decide to do “any good thing” that you may have seen on this or any affiliated site, it will prove to be futile, superficial and short-lived at best. Only as Christ abides and lives His life in you, moment by moment, is it possible, and only He can produce a permanent, eternal victory. With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. For without Me ye can do nothing.

Enoch

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. Jude 14,15

And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Genesis 5:21-24

Enoch is our surety that what Christ says, He will do -

Enoch is 5405 years old this year.

1:1

The everlasting gospel is an individual work in each individual heart. As Christ lives His life out in and through you, with His mind, He will guide you to operate as He does. Even when speaking to thousands each one will be addressed individually. Time is never wasted when devoted to one single person. The Good Shepherd looks after and cares for the single lamb. The most important and glorious truths Christ has had recorded were to a one soul audience.

The operating policy of Above Every Name is based on the above statement.

None Higher

That the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory…set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. Ephesians 1:17-23

I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own Self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was…Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. John 17:4,5,24

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other Name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Christ alone

Reaching out to and connecting with His faithful believers in "all Truth" worldwide “with the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters…Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”, we are together with Him for eternity, His holy people.

⚠️

History is replete with examples of what His denominated people will DO during the delay of a tarrying time, instead of having their characters perfected, being prepared, ready, watching and patiently waiting on Him to unfold events in His time.

He has warned us and it has all been seen before,

"There is no new thing under the sun" Ecclesiastes 1:9.

Remember -

They shall not be ashamed that wait for Me. Isaiah 49:23

For the love of Christ constraineth us...that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again. 2 Corinthians 5:14,15 We are the Lord’s denominated people, to proclaim the truths of heavenly origin. The most solemn, sacred work ever given to mortals is the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel’s messages to our world. Lt 146, 1909 We are facing the most important issues that men have ever been called to meet. All should understand the truths contained in the three messages; for they are essential to salvation.
