JESUS CHRIST:
ALL SUFFICIENT 
SAVIOUR FOR SINNERS

This page is especially designed for sinners who feel their desperate need of a Saviour. Such know that they cannot save themselves or even contribute one iota towards their salvation. Such know (in the words of the hymnwriter) that "Christ must save and Christ alone." Below is abundant proof from the word of God that Jesus Christ is the All Sufficient Saviour.

Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
ALL I NEED IN THEE I FIND,
O Lamb of God I come.

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God I come.

  1. This chart is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for doing this.

    There are just a few typos that I saw: unttermost under salvation should be uttermost. Under victory I think conquerers should be conquerors. One other thing you might add is "hope." Under peace you might add Prince of Peace from Is 9:6 and
    the mind of the spirit is life and peace, from Romans 8:6

  2. Thanks. I fixed the typo's and found another. I originally had Jesus Christ saving His people from their "sons" :o) When I get a chance I will incorporate your suggestions to enhance the article. It certainly makes encouraging reading, doesn't it? Thanks again for dropping by.

  3. Put dome more verses on. You could really keep going! Had to be selective. "Whereby are given unto us EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." (2 Peter 1:4)

  4. Yes, you really could keep going! Another reminder just how much we have in Christ and it is eternal and can never perish, spoil or fade.

    One other typo under Salvation - where Peter 'creid' out - or is that Gaelic?!
