Christianity Is What Christ Says It Is
        By A. W. Tozer

    Set your affection on things above, not on things
    on the earth.                           - -Colossians 3:2

       No one who knows what the New Testament is
    about will worry over the charge that Christianity is
   "otherworldly."

       Of course it is --- and that is precisely where its
    power lies!

       Christianity, which is faith in Christ, trust in His
    promises and obedience to His commandments, rests
    down squarely upon the Person of Christ.

       What He is, what He did and what He is doing---these
    provide a full guarantee that the Christian's hopes are
    valid.

       Christianity is what Christ says it is. His power becomes
    operative toward us as we accept His words as final and
    yield our souls to believe and obey.

       Christ is not on trial; He needs no character witnesses to
    establish His trustworthiness!

       He came as the Eternal God in time's low tabernacle. He
    stands before no human tribunal, but all men stand before
    Him now and shall stand for judgment at the last.

       Let any man bring the faith of Christ to the bar of man's
    opinion, let him try to prove that the teachings of Christ are
    in harmony with this philosophy or that religion, and he is
    in fact rejecting Christ while seeking to defend Him!

       Let no one apologize for the powerful emphasis Christianity
    lays upon the basic doctrine of the world to come. When
    Christ arose from death and ascended into heaven, -  -  -  He
    established forever three important facts; namely, that this
    world has been condemned to ultimate dissolution, that the
    human spirit persists beyond the grave and that there is
    indeed a world to come!
