Eternal Life Through Christ

Said a brother: "It doesn't seem possible that any one could ever be worthy of eternal life." Well, no one can be worthy. Even after the victory has been won, and the redeemed have been granted a seat on the throne of Christ, and they are all righteous, it will be true that they are complete only in Christ. If we live a Christian life now, it is only because Christ dwells in us; if we gain eternal life, it will be only through Christ. Thus Christ is "made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption; that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." 1 Cor. 1:30, 31. And so in that redeemed state, no worthiness will be ascribed to any one except Christ. From every tongue will come the song, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain."
