But if he is all these things (and more), and he is, then may the redeemed of the Lord say so. That’s to live is Christ – to not only live in the redeemed state, but to declare our redemption to the world around us. Praise the Lord!
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.

To live is Christ is always this mixture of repentance and rejoicing, penitence and praise. Yes, they can and must live together in our prayer life. We must constantly remember who we would be without Christ and who we are with him.
To live is Christ is to be radically different in both our holiness and our love. We should be both strange and attractive to the world. Holy yet hopeful. Clean yet caring. Pure yet peaceful. Sanctified yet sacrificing.
To live is Christ is to have this eternal Savior, our chosen champion of forgiveness and grace, placed in the gap by God himself. May we forever see the glory of this Savior, and refuse to exchange the glory of Christ for the lesser glories that captivate our hearts but can never heal our hearts as he can.
To live is Christ will not let you go a single minute without the hand of God upon you. The hand of his loving discipline burning up the chaff of sin that remains in your heart until you are like him for seeing him as he is.
Does to live is Christ have you walking on dry ground? Or are you stuck in the paralyzing mud of ingratitude and forgetfulness?
