9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. - 1 John 3:9-11.

When we say "Christ in you is free and happy" that means he does not have to do anything to be who he is in you. He has already completed everything he needed to do to live in the believer. Do you understand that Christ death was the death blow to the Satan nature to those that believe. As a matter of fact while we are on the subject, all in Adam are dead. So when you believe, you get a new nature (Christ). A believer will have a strength in him because of who he is. Who he is is who you are, you are just as complete as Christ in you is. If not for Christ in you you would have no completion, I don't know if that is good news for some or not I wonder these days about some. The non-believer of Christianity lives by his works. The believer lives by Christ's finished work, Christ in you lives by the truth of his finished work. That should be a point of study for all hungry bible student's. You can never live the life scripture portraits for believers until you understand the life you have now is Christ. Not like his life, not a imitation of his life, but real Christ in you life and living.

Look at it like this "for you to live you must die." That death occurred 2000 years ago and now it has to be reckoned so in your mind, Romans 6. There is no life by doing, there is no life in giving, there is no life in living a good life. The only life there is is the life of Christ in you. Your body was designed to contain the life of another. How do you suppose Satan was able to become the life of humanity, because of design the way we are created. What makes a person lost? You guest it! There is no Christ in them, there is no replacement life in them, the only life they have is a fallen death life that came by a nature. Adam and Eve received a nature when they fell, they received the lieing deceptive fallen death life that came from Satan, Satan death life.

Now trying to clean up a nature that has at it's core death is a losing battle, of coarse unless you are Jesus Christ. That is what he did on the cross, he killed the lieing deceptive death life of the Satan nature and for a believer to live now they will have to live from their:

New-life-completed-Christ-nature-finished work life that is in them now. There is no other way to say it, man is completed by the completed cross work of Calvary's hill. There is no substitute "he that hath the Son hath life, and he that don't have the Son has no life."
