Christianity is centered around the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus is alive. He does not need a man's help to fight his battles!
Christianity is not centered on a place or thing such as a rock, a tree, a body of water, or on a person other than Jesus. Christianity is built around a relationship with Jesus, and not on a philosophical system of belief.
If it was based on a philosophy, men might argue their way through to salvation; if it was based on a place or thing, people would be at some advantage by their ability to get to the place or object of worship.
Salvation is the gift of God received by faith alone through confession of sin. Men and women of all ages can be saved only by the grace of God through the fully paid work of atonement that Jesus accomplished at Calvary. Praise be the name of the Lord.
There is no way to fight for God, or to defend a finished work of God. We can only accept it or reject it. We cannot build a fence around it, we cannot enclose it in some secure place or by some some security device. God does not need man's help or protection, neither does the work of atonement need further refinement or human explanation.
Read the Bible. Here are some interesting scriptures:
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" Rom 10: 17. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" Rom 10:10. "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans" 5: 10. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5: 8.
