PRINCIPLE #7:<br />
THE CHRISTO-CENTRIC PRINCIPLE<br />
In John 5:38, Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and<br />
they are they that speak of me."<br />
Bible is the record of God unfolding His plan of redemption for man.<br />
In Genesis 3:15 God explains to Satan, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,<br />
and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”<br />
This is the first Messianic prophecy of the coming of the Lord Jesus.<br />
Jesus being the contact between Man and the Divine realm as the Second Person in the<br />
Trinity, He appears at various points in the salvation history of Mankind in Person and also in<br />
every symbolism.<br />
A. This principle is defined by six points:<br />
1. The mind of Deity is eternally centered in Christ;<br />
2. All angelic thought and ministry are centered in Christ;<br />
3. All Satanic hatred and subtlety are centered at Christ;<br />
4. All human hopes are, and human occupation should be, centered in Christ;<br />
5. The whole material universe in creation is centered in Christ;<br />
6. The entire written Word is centered in Christ.<br />
