“To live is Christ” is to be this image of the Image. The receiver and reflector of the grace, power, love, and wisdom of God that is Christ Jesus our Lord.

TLIC Daily. Day 284. October 11: Delivered from the domain of darkness.
“To live is Christ” means there’s nothing left to earn. Nothing left to do. No performance left to give. No right to make wrong. No guilt to overcome. No history to delete. Nothing to add-on. No more “ands” to get done today. Just Jesus. Just his love and forgiveness. Only true deliverance.
TLIC Daily. Day 283. October 10: Filled with the knowledge of his will.
“To live is Christ” means being filled with the knowledge of God’s will (Christ-likeness) and being instinctively controlled by the wisdom and understanding of God (Christ himself). That’s faith. That’s our union with Christ.
TLIC Daily. Day 282. October 9: I can do all things through him.
When we remember all that is ours IN HIM, nothing will be able to steal our contentment away. And when we know all that we have IN Christ then we can do all things THROUGH Christ.
TLIC Daily. Day 281. October 8: Stand firm.
“To live is Christ” is to stand firm in the life altering hope of his glorious return for us one day. A future hope that allows us to respond to our present reality with all faith, hope, love, joy, and peace.
TLIC Daily. Day 280. October 7: Press on.
“To live is Christ” is not earning, but it is effort. The grace driven effort of resting in God’s goodness and faithfulness. The striving of faith in his unconditional love. It is a joy filled effort of running together, side by side, with the one who has already run in our place and won us the victory.
