I believe Bro. E.W. Kenyon, the author of the book entitled, "Two Kinds of Life" said it best when he wrote, "Sense Knowledge has gained the supremacy over Christianity and dominates it". With this statement we must understand that the term "Christian" is defined as individuals professing to be followers of Christ.

When Christ came and begin to choose His followers, He called them "Disciples". It wasn't until after the Cross that the gentiles begin to call the disciples of Christ, "Christians" (Acts 11:26) . This identified them and set them apart from all idolatry and worldly religions, for their lives were totally dedicated to Christ.

Today most individuals concept of Christianity doesn't pattern after Biblical principles, or what I will call "Discipleship". The church world in general, has taken the divine leadership of the Holy Spirit out of the picture and has adopted a sense knowledge Christianity that teaches the masses a false doctrine of what Christianity really is. Apostle Paul singles out the concept of todays Christians in II. Tim. 4:3-4, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables". This one verse defines what Christianity is, for a lot of so-called believers. "Denying sound doctrine and turning their ear from the truth that has been revealed for their age."

With this thought in mind, let us consider "Biblical Christianity". What experience or life is a Christian instructed to profess and live? Is it to be a life of self-feeling and opinion, or is it taken from our own thoughts and attitudes toward God?

The true facts of a Christian life isn't as easy and simple as most individuals think. To be a disciple of Christ we must be willing to follow after Him regardless of the cost. One of the attributes of following Christ is "Forsaking". Jesus said in St. Luke 14: 26-(33) " If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (33) So, likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." This may seem unlike Jesus to make such a bold statement, but we must realize the point He was getting across, and that point is, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (St. John 14:6)

Your access to God is only through Christ Jesus and Him alone. It is not through your church membership, nor through traditional background, nor through the experiences you have had with God, nor through your family or friends. It comes to us one way, and the avenue is by "Forsaking all and depending on Christ." This truth takes away the carnal idea of just "doing your best". Your best will never be good enough. Jesus told us to continue in His word, not do your best! (St. John 8:31)
