God’s sin destroying holiness was lifted up in the holy Christ who became our sin in order to destroy sin in us once and for all.
TLIC Daily. Day 348. December 14: We love because he first loved us.
From God’s perfect love may we see love perfected in us. May we love sacrificially without fear. May we love humbly yet boldly. May we love because we are loved. May we “to live is Christ.”
An Angelic Advent. Day 13: Behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them.
Our union with Christ’s death and resurrection means we will never die. And beyond this, we will live forever in the power of the Spirit of Christ. Christ’s ascension into heaven, like Elijah’s, released the Spirit upon the church. Now we are all Elishas. We are all the receivers of the double portion of Christ. All that is his is ours.
TLIC Daily. Day 347. December 13: God is love…we ought to love.
“To live is Christ” is to know you are loved by Love. And then it is to love. To love one another freely and fully as those in whom God’s love is being perfected IN US as we learn more and more each day to trust his love FOR US.
An Angelic Advent. Day 12: He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
How do we know that God is rescuing us? Because one day another angelic advent will occur. God will ride down on his cherub again. This time visible to the whole world. Smoke from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. And all the world will see him. No more veil of darkness. Just light.
TLIC Daily. Day 346. December 12: God is greater than our heart.
God knows you’re righteous. He knows you’re alive in Christ. He knows the real you, and he loves you anyway. So go live your life boldly before him. Because “to live is Christ.”
To Live is Christ
