Most of what Christians communicate has Biblical content. Subjects like predestination, grace,love,unity, God’s sovereignty are all typical examples of Biblical Content.
But any time we communicate Biblical Content but neglect Biblical Emphasis, we violate Biblical imperative.
What is Biblical Imperative?
“That in all things, Christ might be preeminent.”
“I am determined to know nothing except Christ and Him crucified.”
To put it another way,
Jesus said,”I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me.”
The entirety of Christianity begins with the redemption of mankind.
Jesus is the only way to the Father, He is the only truth that leads us to the Father, He is the only life we can obtain with the Father, for we are all already dead in trespasses and sins.
Even discipleship means nothing without Christ.
“I am the Vine and you are the branches, without Me you can do nothing.”
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Preacher.
What could you possibly have to say that would have more meaning or relevance aside from Jesus Christ ?

Very well said. Christ should be the motive, goal and content of all that we teach. If we attempt to teach Bible truths out of the context of Christ, we will lose the meaning behind the Scriptures that we proclaim. Lord bless.
