Christianity is not a cafeteria plan. We cannot pick and choose which things we will believe and which we will not. Either we believe completely or we do not believe at all. Just as it was impossible for the Corinthians to say that they believe in Christ but not in a resurrection, it is impossible for us to say that we are Christian and yet to do believe the fundamental truths of the faith.
Too many people in our modern world want to believe that Christianity is just about being moral or good and they refuse to believe in the divinity of Christ. Too many people want to believe that Christianity is just a set of rules to live by and they refuse to believe in the life changing power of the Holy Spirit. Too many people claim to be Christian and yet do not even know what that means.
We cannot have it both ways. We cannot be Christian and yet not believe.
