Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Proverbs 4:27. turn your foot away from evil. Turn around! Run! Get out of there! Move it! Watch out! These are the kinds of things
Proverbs 3:7. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. Wise in your own eyes. The original sin.
To live is Christ is to dig deep into our hearts and root out all selfish motivations and replace them with a vision of Christ’s sacrificial love.
“To live is Christ” is to swallow evil. No more running. No more hiding. No more revenge. Because death, evil, and suffering can no longer defeat us, we can now face them with the resurrection power of Christ.
“To live is Christ” is not a promise that God will prevent evil in our lives. But it is a promise that God will weave that evil into something beautiful in you. And that beauty is Christ himself.
Thank God that the advent of evil was met with the advent of God himself into our lives. Our ultimate Good destroying the ultimate evil.
