To live from Christ is to allow the life of His Spirit in you to be expressed through you. It is to live from the teachings of Christ that are laid out for us in the gospels. It is to live out our lives from where Christ sits on the throne of our heart. Living from this Christ center is “the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). In living our lives, we live out and work out what Christ lives and works in us (Philippians 2:12-13). Writer J.D. Walt points out that living from Christ is very different than living for Christ. Living from Christ is the secret of the Christian life.
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your resident Presence in our lives. Teach us by Your Spirit moment by moment how we can live our life from Your life. Amen!
