TLIC DAILY. DAY 70. MARCH 11: EAST FROM WEST.
“To live is Christ” means we can spend each moment in God’s presence beholding the wonders of his love. Relaxing. Enjoying. Gazing into his beautiful face. Knowing that by our union with Christ, God’s indwelling infinite love and forgiveness are removing the indwelling force of sin in our hearts little by little, as we deal with God, not according to our sins, but according to his grace that has already dealt with all our sins.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 54. FEBRUARY 23: YOU ARE THE MAN.
Only as we are made more and more aware of our sin (you are the man), and convinced more and more that we have died to that sin (blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity), will sin then die in our lives as we rely less and less on the self and more and more on “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 48. FEBRUARY 17: IN HIS OWN EYES.
There is no more need to control your own life. No need to figure it all out. No need to fight for your agenda. Just worship. Just love. Just “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 40. FEBRUARY 9: LOOK AND LIVE.
Do you want to have more faith? Then look at Christ more and your faith less. Turn your eyes upon Jesus. See his holiness colliding with your sin on the cross. Keep looking. Never stop. Move your gaze from yourself to the grace displayed on that pole. Now your living by faith. Now “to live is Christ.”
TLIC Daily. Day 15. January 15: But Noah.
“To live is Christ” is to enter the ark of Christ’s life. To leave behind the despair of our wicked hearts and embrace his rest. To cling to the righteousness of the one man, Jesus. The man who has received God’s favor. To let his resurrection power transform suffering and death into a beginning rather than an end.
