How these verses point to Christ
These verses are not slogans to prop yourself up. Every true word the Bible speaks about salvation finds its yes in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). He is where salvation, rightly understood, was always leading; come to Him and receive what no verse alone can give.
