To live is Christ is to grab hold of the hope of not only seeing God in Christ, but also being like God in Christ. A hope we can begin to realize even today.
To live is Christ means others may now look to us to see the righteous rule and reign of God. In Christ, we the upright can truly behold the face of Christ in one another.
As ungodly saints we pursue Christ. We trust Christ. We submit to Christ. We desire his life, his character, his love. His life becomes our law – the “law of Christ.” Not a law we must live up to, but a law that is alive in us. That’s “to live is Christ.”
“To live is Christ” is to embrace that it is finished. Our salvation is complete in him. Our redemption, our sanctification, our righteousness, Jesus has become all for us. All by his grace.
“To live is Christ” means we are the righteous who are alive by faith in Christ, and are now living out that faithfulness of Christ. No matter what.
