It is Jesus’ unbroken trust in God on the cross that saved us, and now his trust in God is the gift of our salvation. Trusting God’s justice and mercy. Trusting his grace and love. Trusting that “to live is Christ.”

TLIC DAILY. DAY 335. DECEMBER 1: FREE.
“To live is Christ” has made us truly free. Free to be a slave to God and servant of all. Empowered by all Christ’s own praise, glory, and honor (1:7), we can finally set aside our own pursuit of these things and enter into the true love of selfless service.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 334. NOVEMBER 30: RECEIVED MERCY.
“To live is Christ” is bold belonging. It is undeserved acceptance. And there’s nothing better in this world than that.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 333. NOVEMBER 29: RANSOMED.
“To live is Christ” is to be rescued, ransomed, and set apart in holiness. Rescued from the power of sin. Ransomed from the penalty of sin. And therefore set apart from sin’s pleasure into the greater pleasure of God’s grace in Christ.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 332. NOVEMBER 28: GENUINE FAITH.
Don’t desperately search for your love for Christ. Seek first his love for you. Then you might just find that you share that love. You’ll find out that your faith is real. You’ll know that “to live is Christ.”
TLIC Daily. Day 331. NOVEMBER 27: A LIVING HOPE.
“To live is Christ” is our living hope. May all lesser hopes point our hearts to the ultimate hope of our future with Jesus, and with the Father. With the eternal love and glory of the Trinity. And may our living hope change how we live today. Free from manufacturing a dying hope from the present moment. And free to live our sorrowful today as if it is our glorious tomorrow.
