Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
So are we in rest or are we striving to get there? Yes. Both are true at the same time. To live is Christ understands and embraces this paradox. The paradox of the finished yet ongoing work of Christ in us. The paradox of striving to rest. The paradox of a faith that saved you and is saving you. So do not harden your heart. Do not resist the grace of rest. Stop striving to earn your salvation and start striving to trust in a salvation that has already been earned.
To live is Christ is to find your true self, your place in this world while bowing at the feet of Jesus our Shepherd King. Submitting to his personal care over your life. Finding grace in following, peace in pasturing, and joy in humility.
In the New Testament Jesus is crowned as the Lord that we sing praise to, the great God who made all things (Col. 1; Heb. 1), the King that we bow down to (Phil. 2). And to live is Christ supplies the power for this praise.
To Live is Christ
