Free Christianity in the Near East and the West 4

“

There is no new thing under the Sun’ (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 and 3:15), except the new creature in Jesus Christ. Only the radical change of heart in Jesus Christ is new. Only grace and the Holy Ghost is new. Everything else is as old as the hills. All discovery is only the uncovering of what is already there. In repentance and grace there is new creation. All else is the spinning out of laws and norms spun out a million times before. Repetition, repetition of the same thing. No essential newness.
