“To live is Christ” means there is nothing left for God to do. No greater work than the work already accomplished by your union with the cross. No further blessing than the blessing of Christ’s death. Nothing else to trust in, look for, commit to, or figure out.

Our living is the cross of Christ. And our dying is gain.
“To live is Christ” means that the de-creation and re-creation work of God in us is finished. We are the new creation. Right now!
