Of this we can be certain – the Son of God will keep us. So now we must keep ourselves. We must guard our hearts. Not as self-salvation, but as those who are from God, who know God, who are in God, who possess his eternal life. As those who “to live is Christ.”
That’s what advent is – the arrival of Christ as the arrival of man’s destiny.
“To live is Christ” means we are a part of the greatest conquest of all time – the victory of Christ Jesus over the world.
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.
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.”
