TLIC DAILY. DAY 243. AUGUST 31: ABBA! FATHER!
“To live is Christ” makes us the desired, wanted, adopted sons of God. Whether you are a man or a woman, if you are in Christ you are a son. An heir. A co-heir with Christ.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 242. AUGUST 30: PUT TO DEATH.
“To live is Christ” has given us, through grace, what we tried to earn in the Garden through effort. The Garden left humanity with knowledge but no love. In Christ, we have his love and his knowledge. We have his love and we know how to use it. The daily question is “will we?”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 241. AUGUST 29: MIND OF THE SPIRIT.
Because we have the life and peace of Christ, our mind can now rest. It can stop running desperately toward self-righteousness. It can actually be quite humble and open minded. Our minds can be renewed in love. The love of “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 240. AUGUST 28: NO CONDEMNATION.
Because of “to live is Christ,” the force of condemnation – excusing and accusing – is no longer at work in our conscience. Now our conscience is guided by the love of Christ. And the more we allow the gospel to overwhelm our hearts, the more we can listen to our conscience, and follow it into the presence of God.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 239. AUGUST 27: WRETCHED MAN!
“To live is Christ” allows us to take a deeply honest look at our own wretched failure as law keepers. Then and only then can we place our hope in the one who will deliver us from the body of death.
To Live is Christ
