Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
To live is Christ is to live in this dual knowledge of God’s avenging and atoning. Christ alone accomplishes both. Where does this leave the Christian? But we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
To live is Christ is to remember that God does not remember. He does not count our sin against us. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! And yet there is a love that lowers us further still until all that remains is the love of Christ.
To live is Christ embraces the eternal grace of God, the calling of his people to holiness, not because of our works, but in spite of them. The more we can embrace this great grace the more we will allow ourselves to be guided by his heart and his hand.
To live is Christ is Zion not Shiloh. The ark is missing and that’s OK. The rebellious spirit of Hophni and Phinehas has died and been replaced in us by the spirit of Christ.
To live is Christ is a life of identifying and rooting out our idols, our functional saviors, until only hope in Christ remains. Until we decide to take on this task of daily repentance we will never know ourselves, nor will we trust our position in Christ.
May to live is Christ be our reminder each day of what we deserve as opposed to what we received in him.
To Live is Christ
