Our Sufficiency in Christ

Pure Christianity needs no embellishment whatsoever. We find complete sufficiency in Christ and His provision for our needs.

But too many Christians have bought in to the notion that all the spiritual resources we gain at the moment of salvation are not adequate to meet the real needs in today’s complex world. So they look for something more—an emotionally exciting and self-edifying experience not found in God’s Word. This failure to understand the sufficiency of Christ has opened the door to all kinds of worldly influences, causing many modern believers to mix biblical truths with seemingly helpful man-made methods such as mysticism and psychology. As a result, they wallow in a watered-down, pseudo-Christianity that has been drained of its vitality, effectiveness, and security.

Within these pages, John MacArthur exposes the main ways Christians have displaced their spiritual resources and explains how to avoid making the same error. This book will make you newly aware of how completely God provides—and give you a renewed understanding of what it means to be “complete in Christ.”
