It's no more your life

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

Paul said, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.....Philippians 1:21KJV”. This man understood the mystery of Christianity. He says, as long as I live it’s going to be about Christ.
Christianity is the call to live the life of another. It’s called the heavenly calling. You have been called to live the life of Jesus Christ, His life and not your life. Anything about you that is not consistent with His life is unacceptable and will
gain you no reward at the last day. It’s either Christ or nothing. He is the only standard acceptable to God, nothing less.
You have no right to love the way you want to. It will gain you nothing at the end. The standard is Christ. He is the reference point, He is the cornerstone. He is the reference point for the temple, which is being built, that great edifice and every
stone is supposed to be laid in reference to Him. Any stone fashioned not after Christ is unacceptable in the temple. In Christianity, you don’t choose how you want things to be done. The moment you do things the way you want it to be done, it means you didn’t die with Christ on the cross but Christianity suggest you did. You have to understand that there are two aspects of your identification with Christ, the positional and vital. By position, you died with Christ but it’s that true experientially? Are you living as someone who died with Christ, to allow Christ live in and through you? To be a Christian means to live in the Name of Jesus. Be careful what you do in His name. Does how you love conform to His character?

When you get this understanding, you won’t love the way you want to but how Heloves.
This is what Paul means when He says, “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is
the head, even Christ:.....Ephesians 4:15KJV” God wants you to be like Jesus in all things, not some things but in all things. He
wants you to reach a stage where people can’t differentiate between you and Christ. This is the purpose of spiritual growth, growing to be like Him in all things. Jesus wouldn’t choose Mary and His Brethren over the Word of God “While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and
mother....Matthew 12:46-50KJV”
Do you support your wife, husband, mother, father, and friends when they are to be blamed? Do you do that because of your relationship with them? Then Christ is not the one living through you. You are still living Beloved, understand the true meaning of Christianity. It’s not about going to Church every Sunday. Is Christ the one living in and through you?
God bless you!
