Those who are in Christ live in patient waiting, wielding spiritual weapons in a spiritual war. Overcoming evil with good. Knowing that to live is Christ will bring us safely through the day of reckoning.
To live is Christ allows us to look in the mirror of man’s wickedness and still choose God’s righteousness instead.
To live is Christ is to be so full of God’s covenant love and faithfulness that even the caves of life can’t stop our unifying praise from rising up to Jesus.
In Christ this too is our greatest desire – the exaltation of Christ through our cruciform lives. Our immediate rescue takes a back seat to his glory. Our purpose no longer our own glory, but God’s glory reigning over all the earth as we embrace to live is Christ.
To live is Christ means that when it feels like you can know nothing else in this life you can know this one thing, God is for you. He intimately keeps track of your tossings and carefully collects your tears. What wondrous grace in Christ.
To live is Christ means no mere mortal can do anything to us that threatens our eternal victory and reward. With Jesus we never have to fear those who can destroy the flesh, because no flesh can destroy our spirit.
