To live is Christ binds our life to Christ’s in such a way that it is always reasonable to ask for the gladness of the soul that comes from God’s grace and love.
To live is Christ is to live with all the fullness of God. The fullness of his truth joined by the fullness of his love. The fullness of his righteousness kissing the fullness of his peace. Yes, we can be honest and caring at the same time. We can call pursue righteousness and pursue peace at the same time. We can and we must by his grace.
So pray for revival if you must. Not as a fresh movement of God towards us, there is no more left for God to do beyond the cross, but as a fresh movement of us toward God. A renewed understanding of the gospel. A more honest confession of sin. A deeper commitment to to live is Christ.
To live is Christ is to have nothing withheld that is good. Union with Christ assures us of this. All that is his is ours. All his favor and honor. All his upright ways. Knowing this, we can now choose the presence of Christ over the absence of problems.
To live is Christ is the pilgrim way. A journey from strength to strength, glory to glory, as we walk with the Lord, drinking from his love in the deserts of life.
Have we learned how to live in God’s presence together, or has to live is Christ been for you a solitary, “personal relationship with Christ” to the exclusion of his true temple – the church.
