How does one articulate the significance and magnitude of what is at stake in choosing to trust Christ vs. everything else? It is the one choice among an eternal realm of choices that determines a person's eternal destiny. No wonder Jesus used parables to help those searching, and words like " Alpha and Omega / First and Last", "I Am that I Am", " The Light", " The Way", " The Truth" "The Bread of Life" to describe himself. These are all fundamental which are essential in "forming a necessary base or core of central importance" to understanding who He is. He is not just a person, but God in the flesh reaching out to each person, inviting them to reach out to him,......to save them from the darkness, death, and corruption that sin brings and the Devil. There is fundamental truths to both light and darkness, good and evil. There is a Father of Love in Truth and there is a Father of Lies in Deception. Don't let anyone tell you that fundamental truths are not important in distinguishing between what is really good vs. what is really evil. You know people by what the Word of God says. Jesus was super intentional in using the words he used. He even said a person can not stay on the fence on the issue as it is a choice of indifference. Indifference doesn't cut it because it really matters.
