“To live is Christ” means forever living free from the only curse that ever existed. The curse of the law. And, beyond this, it means living in the blessing of Christ’s own life. The life of curse crushing love and mercy that now lives in you.

TLIC Daily. Day 175. June 24: Christ lives in me.
“To live is Christ” IS Christ lives in me. No more and no less. His death is our death. His life is our life. All that is his is ours. All that he has done is applied to us. There is no greater truth in life than this. No greater hope. Nor greater love. You are as loved by God as Jesus is. Do you believe this? Will you, this very day, live by faith in this One who loved you and gave himself for you? I know you will.

TLIC Daily. Day 173. June 22: A person is not justified by works of the law.

“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.
