Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Until that day, every day, seek these things from above. Set your mind on these things. This is our call to faith. To love and trust our new reality in Christ. Our death, resurrection, and glorification with him. Our hidden life in God. Our “to live is Christ.”
“To live is Christ” has freed us from the system of this world. Our hearts are meant for so much more than such dead religion, such regulation keeping, such “cause-effect” basics. In fact, we have died to all these. And now we are alive to dwell within the wild and wonderful love of God. A love that is a law to itself. A law that is a life that has been hidden with Christ in God.
“To live is Christ” has brought us into a whole new reality where nothing is as it appears. Where the cross of shame is the throne of glory. The criminal is our King who has cancelled every debt and disarmed every enemy. Now nothing stands between us and our God.
When you embrace that fullness and the freedom that comes with it, you might find that you’re finally free to love. You might find that you’re finally free to hope in an eternal kingdom. You might find that you’re finally free “to live is Christ.”
At every “stage” of Christian growth, what we need most is always Jesus. His love. His forgiveness. His assurance. His acceptance. And this ever present need for grace is “to live is Christ.”
“To live is Christ” means that the person who is the theory of everything, shares everything with us. All love. All grace. All wisdom. All creation. All life.
To Live is Christ
