“For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Commentary: To live means to be alive naturally and spiritually together with Christ eternally! Your eternity begins here on earth! It means he quickens you with the power to live for him! To live with the God that is independent of all life yet creator of all life. He is the cause of life. Not to live as just an object of his creation but to live in relationship to him! To live in a particular way by faith apart from unbelievers! To “live unto righteousness” living unto righteousness and holiness being justified by the death of Christ on the Cross! Born to live or born again enabling you to live redeemed from a source outside of yourself! Christ living in you the hope of glory! Living a life no longer influenced by our evil and corrupt ways but transformed into his likeness! Living a new life redeemed from your past! A new beginning! All things are passed away and all things become new! Mortality puts on immortality! A new life bubbling with joy! Excited about life as a child! Full of zest and excitement with each new day! Living life like it is the first day on your new job! Fired from your old life of sin but now your new employer has given you the power and resources to succeed! Like a Chapter 13 bankruptcy! All your debts from sinful living are wiped away! All your mistakes wiped away! A fresh start! This time like Satan your old employer who wanted you to fail Christ wants you to succeed so bad he died on a Cross for you so you can have this new life! Jesus paid the price for your past, present and future! He is the same yesterday, today and forever! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
