This rest for our souls is only possible in Christ. Only when his accomplishments are enough for you. Only when his record is all you are relying upon. Only when “to live is Christ.”
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
This rest for our souls is only possible in Christ. Only when his accomplishments are enough for you. Only when his record is all you are relying upon. Only when “to live is Christ.”
Remember, this is NOT about exhorting others to have more faith in their faith. It’s about exhorting one another to simply trust our Savior Jesus and our union with him. To remember that “to live is Christ” is a day by day experience of Jesus that lasts to the end, and beyond.
Our better David has set us free from the fear of death and dying. Now, like him, we can pass through the portal of death into glory. There’s nothing that stands in our way. The path is cleared The battlefield is empty. The giant is dead. All that remains is “to live is Christ.”
“To Live is Christ” is a marathon. A grace race that we faithfully run ’til the end. By grace we are in the race, by grace we run the race, and by grace we will finish the race. Will you keep the faith in God’s amazing grace until the final day? I pray you will.
“To live is Christ” is a multiplication project. Multiplying the grace of Christ Jesus into the lives of others through our faithful teaching of the gospel. No one said it would be easy. But the promise of God’s strength through grace will stand forever.
When we embrace the death of death, when we place our hope in the life and immortality of Christ, we can finally experience a deep sense of tranquility and serenity at knowing that this life is no longer about self-preservation, or legacy building, or finding meaning in temporal gains. It’s about “to live is Christ.”
