“To live is Christ” means all things are yours. The world. Life. Death. The future. The past. Everything in this life is for you to experience, learn from, and enjoy when bounded by the law of love.
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.

“To live is Christ” removes all of this childish, “human” behavior from our hearts. We no longer have to be the best, or promote our own self-worth. Our worth is in Christ. That is true spirituality – loving, giving, sharing, submitting. This is our super power.
“To live is Christ” is to have the mind of Christ. His thoughts. His understanding. His knowledge. This is not mind control. It’s faith. It’s seeing Christ as all truth, all knowledge, and all understanding. His life and his death answer every question and reveal every mystery of God – the mysteries of salvation, meaning, purpose, eternity, love, life, and death.
“To live is Christ” means there is only one thing we know for sure, and therefore, only one thing we can talk about with confidence – the cross. We don’t need anything beyond the ultimate reality of Christ crucified for us. No more answers. No more knowledge. No more experiences. All we need is to embrace the power of the cross as our power for daily living and loving others.
“To live is Christ” is unlike any other religion on earth. It is all of grace and all of Christ. He has freely given us his life and all that comes with it – wisdom, goodness, holiness, freedom. We have been given these things for free in order to freely be these things.
“To live is Christ” is unbroken fellowship with Christ. A partnership with Jesus that will never end because God is faithful. A partnership with Jesus that is then lived out in the community of love where we learn to trust God’s love for us and share his love with one another.
