Does to live is Christ have you walking on dry ground? Or are you stuck in the paralyzing mud of ingratitude and forgetfulness?
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Does to live is Christ have you walking on dry ground? Or are you stuck in the paralyzing mud of ingratitude and forgetfulness?
To live is Christ is to be blessed with all the goodness that IS God. Goodness that allows us to observe and do. Grace that empowers our own true goodness as we, through Christ, participate in all that is God. All that is good.
To live is Christ allows us to finally keep God’s law by removing the bondage to God’s law. By replacing law with Spirit, the law is fulfilled in us. Not perfectly on this side of Heaven, but with perfect grace filling the gaps.
To live is Christ places us firmly within every promise of God. The promise of a home. The promise of blessing. The promise of no condemnation. The promise of his presence. The promise of his preservation. Like Israel before us, not a single foot will stumble on our way to glory.
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.
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.
