Bible More Than Sufficient

Christians are no longer under "the laws of the God of Abraham."

The Law was delivered through Moses to demonstrate the righteousness God requires in order to be acceptable to Him -- a righteousness no one can attain and so God intervened by sending the only One who could, His Son, Jesus the Christ. It is by faith in Him that we draw our reason for living and our power to live in this fallen world.

There is nothing in Eastern mysticism, yoga, or Buddhism that beats the rules for living a good life (Proverbs and Ecclesiastes), the encouragement necessary to triumph in this life (the Psalms) and the instructions about what is necessary to inherit eternal life (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

Why settle for less when we already have been given the best?
