We are free. Free to believe the Word of God living in us. Free to be the work of God in the world. Not living plagues, but peacemakers. Not darkness but the light of Christ piercing the darkness. Not self-absorbed, but to live is Christ.
TLIC Psalms. September 25. He Turned Their Hearts.
The psalmist wants his readers to know that if they are IN Israel than they are part of God’s great big plan. And I want you to know today that if you are IN Christ you too are part of God’s great big plan. Do you believe this? Can you see it? To live is Christ requires both.
TLIC Psalms. September 24. He Had Sent a Man Ahead.
To live is Christ allows us to see the purpose in our weakness, our trial, our temptation. It is not meaningless, it is transforming. Can you see the change occurring in your life?
TLIC Psalms. September 23. On Their Account.
The psalmist is reminding us not of the patriarch’s great moral example that we must follow (far from it), but of the great grace of God that we must trust by faith. Faith alone in grace alone is what to live is Christ requires. The morality will follow faith, in this life and definitely in the next. Until then let Christ be you Savior first and the only example you need second.
TLIC Psalms. September 22. He Remembers His Covenant Forever.
To live is Christ places us firmly within the covenant promises of Christ, and within the land of his love. A forever home of goodness and mercy all the days of our lives. Forever.
TLIC Psalms. September 21. Offspring of Abraham.
To live is Christ is to seek this same Lord’s presence in the same way that the psalmist envisions for the people of faith – continually. A reality made known to us by the continual presence of Christ in our very hearts by the Spirit.
To Live is Christ
