A Christ centered life !
> I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
Paul was obsessed with his Lord. He was also a man full of the Spirit, and the Spirit is occupied with Christ. And yet, many of us are obsessed with many honorable things from God but not Him. Both believers and unbelievers need a sublime revealing of Jesus that astonishes the heart and sets it into awe.
Our mission, therefore, is to flood people with Christ so that those who hear us get washed away in the glory of God. It is Christ and Christ alone who captures the heart. For this reason, when you unveil Him, you don’t have to tell God’s people to be more devoted or committed. If you reveal Jesus like they’ve never seen or heard before and they catch a fresh glimpse of Him, they will be committed and devoted.
When God’s people get saturated with Christ in message and experience, they also have a good shot at freedom. The book of Galatians argues that when we start following rules, we are in our flesh. Without a revelation of Christ, we will always revert to legalism.
Therefore, let us strive to live a life of faith by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself up for us.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
