The more and more you believe that you have freely and graciously been given everything you need for life and godliness by your Savior King you will, quite naturally, be determined to add these gifts on to your life by faith in Christ.

TLIC DAILY. DAY 339. DECEMBER 5: THE DIVINE NATURE.
Do you really believe that you have already been given everything you need for life and godliness today, and every day? Or are you still waiting on God to give you more than Jesus’ life? Are you still waiting for God to do more than the cross? More than the resurrection? More than “to live is Christ?”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 338. DECEMBER 4: HUMBLE YOURSELF.
“To live is Christ” is exaltation and glory by God but only through our humility and dependence on Christ. May Christ’s humble heart for us humble our own hearts for him.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 337. DECEMBER 3: SHARE CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS.
“To live is Christ” means that in suffering we can share in Christ, and in his acceptance by God. We can share in his friendship with the Spirit. We can share in his courage, and in his holiness. We can share in his goodness and compassion, in his love, in his very life. And then, one day, we WILL share in his eternal glory.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 336. DECEMBER 2: IN HIS STEPS.
It is Jesus’ unbroken trust in God on the cross that saved us, and now his trust in God is the gift of our salvation. Trusting God’s justice and mercy. Trusting his grace and love. Trusting that “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 335. DECEMBER 1: FREE.
“To live is Christ” has made us truly free. Free to be a slave to God and servant of all. Empowered by all Christ’s own praise, glory, and honor (1:7), we can finally set aside our own pursuit of these things and enter into the true love of selfless service.
To Live is Christ
