“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.
December 18, 2020. Day 353: God is greater than our heart.
God knows you’re his child. He knows you’re righteous. He knows you’re alive in Christ. He knows the real you, and loves you anyway. So go live your life boldly before him. Because “to live is Christ.”
December 17, 2020. Day 352: God’s seed abides in him.
If you can see yourself as God’s child, born of God, participating in his own nature, then, you might just find that your doing has begun to match your being. You might just find that your “to live” looks like it “is Christ.”
December 16, 2020. Day 351: That we should be called children of God.
When our glorious brother and savior-king looks on us with his eyes of perfect love and grace, then we will know fully “to live is Christ.”
December 15, 2020. Day 350: We have an advocate.
“To live is Christ” means that when we sin we have a propitiation and a parakletos. We have an advocate whose blood speaks a better word for us. Better than all our excuses and all our broken promises. We have a union with Christ’s own righteousness that drives us deeper and deeper into our Father’s arms of love. Especially when we fail him.
December 14, 2020. Day 349: Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Have you had this authentic experience of Christ? Are you living in this fellowship with him and with the Father God? Are you living in his love? His grace? Are you thinking, feeling, and choosing like he does? Selflessly? And, just as important, are you living in this fellowship of Christ with others?
To Live is Christ
