Be the Christian You've Become
David Boan's preview of where his next 4 talks are heading ("what is God doing in us - through the Spirit") reminded me of the message of Major Ian Thomas (Capernwray Mission) of how to "be the Christian we've become" which is "Christ in you".
Major Thomas wrote in an email "of sharing the liberating message of the true Gospel, that the Lord Jesus not only gave Himself on the Cross FOR us in redemption, but that, risen from the dead, He has given Himself TO us in regeneration, to live His life IN and THROUGH us, because He is the only One Who can and IS the Christian life! The REGENERATIVE purpose of His RECONCILING death for us, was to restore the life of God to us, for it takes God's life in us to be spiritually alive and functional as a human being. Christ in the Christian puts God back into the man, and that is the new birth! So gloriously simple and so gloriously logical!
