Christian Redemption

Bernadette Roberts

Christ is the bridge between man and God, all people of goodwill and sorrow for sin can pass over this bridge. No man can build a bridge to the Transcendent, only God can do this. The price or what it took to build this bridge was the Logos’ Incarnation.

Live a million years, stack up a million good karmic points, yet no one can reach the utterly Transcendent on his own, only God can raise us up to such heights. Reincarnationists never mention the redeeming Christ or the meaning of Christian redemption – why? Because it shatters the theory. Since the Redeemer paid the price for us there is no karmic debt or pay-back blocking the way of His saving grace. The reincarnationists, however, never talk about Grace as the means of transformation or salvation, instead, reincarnation is a do-it-yourself religion where everything is up to the individual, God need play no part at all. Nothing could be more contrary to the Christian revelation and path.
