So here we are, trapped in the dead end of the law. If only there was a whole new way to live. If only there was “to live is Christ.”
June 26, 2020. Day 178: The wisdom from above.
What if the most important decision you face today isn’t what to do, but rather how to do it?
June 25, 2020. Day 177: Faith, if it does not have works, is dead.
“To live is Christ” means that our faith in the indwelling Lord of glory is transforming us. The indwelling Spirit is conforming us to his likeness. Your faith, if truly focused on Christ’s work for you (remember object, not amount), will result in works.
June 24, 2020. Day 176: Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Before you do anything else behold the mercy of God. And then speak and act like the child of mercy that you are. That’s “to live is Christ.”
June 23, 2020. Day 175: Show no partiality.
“To live is Christ” has filled us with the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. And this glory, when received in faith, will melt away all our partiality, all our favoritism, all our prejudice. And it will leave in its place obedience to the royal law of love. Love for everyone. Which is love for God.
June 22, 2020. Day 174: The law of liberty.
“To live is Christ” has turned all of God’s word into life giving, freedom bringing truth. God’s perfect law is now our liberty. The freedom that comes when our sin is exposed and our new life of love and grace is empowered.
To Live is Christ
