4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. - Colossians 3:4.

Did you know that the Jesus in you is free and happy. You may need to stop and let that roll around in you because we don't think like that. Jesus is not bound, Jesus is not sick and down in the dumps as they say. Why should "Christ in you" be your main objective as a believer? because you are everything he is. Where and when he is happy and feeling good, and how do I recognize Jesus. It is your daily prerogative to be who you are, you live from the life in you. Your expression comes from your life. You see your creation is fine, your creation was distorted by Adam but was never lost. So it is ok to be yourself "in Christ," you were created to contain Christ and allow that expression to flow through you.

How will Christ come out of you? by your creation. He lives as your creation, or he comes out of you according to the way you were created. That statement can't be made loud enough, believers should wait on the Lord to make that kind of an understanding a reality. Your bible gives the Understanding that it is nolonger you doing the living but Christ in you is the liver. Christ lives not you (0ld man syndrome), you were crucified and the life you live now will be by the life of another. We still feel like it is us doing the living but "study to show yourself approved." Find out what happened to you the moment you believed, find out what happened the moment you were born agai; you received new life, old life (old man) passed away and the new life is "Christ in you." The Twain became one in spirit. Hallelujah!

I have been asked on many occasions? Don't you have anything else to talk about, can't you talk about how Moses divided the sea, or how the prophet was translated to heaven in a firey chariot, or the walls of Jericho come tumbling down. Yes but that is not who you are, who you are is the gospel. Who Christ in you is to you as you is the gospel. The history of scripture is not who you are, of coarse unless you see Christ in all of it and now in you. Focus on who you are and what you do with that is the main theme Paul writes about in his Epistles. You will live by knowledge so the old mind needs correcting according to Paul so the believer can live by a new knowledge, new knowledge has with it a new life. Actually new life came by being born again, and new knowledge comes with time and renewal of mind.

So as great and wonderful the miracle's of all scripture, it has nothing to do with who you are. If it ever gets fixed in you that you are who you are by a birthing, birthed by God the Father, Christ life Understanding for you is well on it's way. Life is put together by your understanding, or life is not put together by your understanding. Scripture says "above all get Understanding." So learn to enjoy your lifes journey to come to real Christ life understanding through the written word of God and allow real expression of who you are.

I think (or /and hope) you realize , in Christ Jesus, HE IS OUR FOCUS, our reality, our knowledge, our atonement from sin, our wisdom, our patience, our strength of salvation.... and all in all....

"A single eye" upon Him...
Wholeheartedly devoted to Him...

Nicely stated.

Its this getting "fixed" in our right believing that "Jesus saved us and keeps us saved", that allows us to find that we always exit in the peace of God in perfect understanding of Grace.
This frees us.

The LIFE that we now live we live BY FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD WHO LOVES US
and GAVE HIMSELF FOR US.

It is no longer OUR OWN LIVES - it is HIS LIFE.

(we were crucified (with Him) )

though Joseph77 is correct, one must understand an entity that has received the life it has, lives the life it has received. a dog lives the life it received when it was born of flesh. a cat the same, a man the same, but the born again receive the Life of Christ with all its inheritance and the power to become a son of God (according to Jesus) because the born again receives the Life of the Son of God. therefore born of the Holy Spirit into the Kingdom of God.
