“To live is Christ” is to know you are loved by Love. And then it is to love. To love one another freely and fully as those in whom God’s love is being perfected IN US as we learn more and more each day to trust his love FOR US.
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.

When you believe that you have freely and graciously been given “everything for life” by your Savior King you will, quite naturally, be determined to add these gifts on to your life by faith in Christ.
Now, our spirit of fear is being gradually replaced with the Spirit of Jesus. Living in fear is being replaced with “to live is Christ.”
“To live is Christ” has placed us both into Christ, and therefore into one another. Through this mutual koinonia we now can live out the great exchange of Jesus for each other. Sharing our position of freedom in Christ with those who desperately need his grace.
“To live is Christ” has made love the controlling force in our lives. Now we can appeal to one another from love. Not law. From Christ, not compulsion.
“To live is Christ” is to put on his love above everything else, for his love alone can bind us all together in perfect harmony. The harmony of the Trinity. So today return to the love of God. See the gut wrenching love of Christ for you on the cross, and let it enlarge your heart.
