No, being God’s adopted sons and daughters doesn’t make life any less difficult. Yes, we will suffer with Christ as Paul says in Romans 8. But we don’t fall back into fear. We move forward as sons.
“To live is Christ” is to know you are loved by Love. And then it is to love. To love one another freely and fully as those in whom God’s love is being perfected IN US as we learn more and more each day to trust his love FOR US.

Go live your life boldly before him. Because “to live is Christ.”
In a world of darkness, in the long waiting for the salvation of our God, will your love story, the story of your union with Christ, shine his light into that darkness around you?
