To live is Christ is to experience this freedom of Christ’s bondage breaking love and grace. He came to set the captive free. Those held captive by the fear of dying and the fear of truly living.

TLIC Psalms. October 6. The Redeemed of the Lord.
But if he is all these things (and more), and he is, then may the redeemed of the Lord say so. That’s to live is Christ – to not only live in the redeemed state, but to declare our redemption to the world around us. Praise the Lord!
TLIC Psalms. October 5. They Were Rebellious.
To live is Christ is always this mixture of repentance and rejoicing, penitence and praise. Yes, they can and must live together in our prayer life. We must constantly remember who we would be without Christ and who we are with him.
TLIC Psalms. October 4. They Became Unclean.
To live is Christ is to be radically different in both our holiness and our love. We should be both strange and attractive to the world. Holy yet hopeful. Clean yet caring. Pure yet peaceful. Sanctified yet sacrificing.
TLIC Psalms. October 3. Having No Faith in His Promise.
Instead of trusting in these lesser glories, it’s time to act with the zeal of Phinehas against them (Num. 25). Not so as to be counted as righteous, but from the righteousness of Christ in you. From to live is Christ.
TLIC Psalms. October 2. They Exchanged the Glory of God.
To live is Christ is to have this eternal Savior, our chosen champion of forgiveness and grace, placed in the gap by God himself. May we forever see the glory of this Savior, and refuse to exchange the glory of Christ for the lesser glories that captivate our hearts but can never heal our hearts as he can.
