The Supremacy of Christ
Tim Melton
1 John 4:1-3
The Supremacy of Christ is an over-arching theme in scripture. The word ''Supremacy'' in the Oxford Dictionary is defined as ''The state or condition of being superior to all others in authority, power, or status.'' Put simply, none can compare. Jesus Christ is supreme over all things and all persons in both the earthly and heavenly realms. In reality, He is God and He is like no other. This truth is essential as one brings seeks to understand the truths of the Bible.
The Bible is a story of how mankind sinned and broke its relationship with God. How when mankind had no hope for restoration, God reconciled mankind to Himself through Jesus Christ. Because of this, the central point of the scripture is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All of the Old Testament points towards Christ and all of the New Testament points back to Christ.

Satan tries to convince us that materialism is of utmost importance. Satan may seek to twist the definition of gender, erase the fact of creation, undo the sanctity of life, but he saves his greatest efforts for the deception that Jesus of Nazareth was not God, was not the Christ, was not resurrected and is not sufficient to save.
We see that priority in even the title ''antichrist.'' Not anti-Spirit or even anti-God, but the phrase antichrist has been used in scripture to recognize many false teachers by their denial of Christ.
1 John 4:1-3 ''Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you ...
