Sola Christo means that it is by Christ’s work alone are we saved. We must get this firmly in our minds, and be aware of anything which reduces Christ, augments Christ, or replaces Christ.
I don’t believe in studying cults (the counterfeit). Instead, I study the Real, the Authentic, the One and Only. I want to know Jesus so well, that I can easily spot a counterfeit.
God is Spirit (John 4:24)
Jesus is God made flesh (John 1:14)
God is invisible; Jesus is the visible representation of the Godhead (1 Timothy 1:17; Colossians 1:15; Isaiah 9:6)
There’s no way to the Father but through Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5-6)
Jesus wasn’t created; He is Creator (John 1:1-3)
Jesus isn’t a greater angel; He is God (Philippians 2:6)
Jesus isn’t a superior human being; He became a human to save us (Philippians 2:7-8)
Jesus did have a physical body (Luke 24:39)
Jesus did feel pain, experience emotion, wrestle with temptation; get tired and hungry (Matthew 4:2; Matthew 26:38; Hebrews 4:15)
Jesus actually physically died on the Cross and was actually physically resurrected (1 Peter 3:18; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 12-28)
Jesus is fully Man and fully God without diluting either of them (Matthew 3:16-17)
Jesus is…

King
Judge
Lord
That’s my King!
