5. The Church System or individual Church or Denomination
The saints on the narrow path: Fidelity to Jesus Christ alone.
(Christ AND----- nothing.)
Early Christians had to choose between loyalty to Caesar or loyalty to Christ. In the 21st century we are faced with the same choice. Loyalty to Christ has been replaced with loyalty to all these substitutes. Divided loyalty is a divided heart.
Christians carry flags of loyalty to all these aforementioned things, we follow all these things............... but Jesus told us to carry our cross and follow Him.
