Only our union with Christ can provide the hope needed for this kind of power. Resurrection power. The power of “to live is Christ.”
TLIC Daily. Day 165. June 14: Taught by God to love.
“To live is Christ” tells us two important truths about our love. It is a brotherly love. It should feel normal and natural to love others, because love is born into us. And it is also being “taught to us” by God himself. The Holy Spirit. Christ in us. The Trinity’s love for one another teaching us what our love can and should look like in our churches, homes, communities, and beyond.
