"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 KJV
In His Death - we are dead; In His Resurrection, we are alive
O, in Him we do reside - Accepted in the Beloved
Being must proceed doing
Doing without being is dead works
Being without doing is... impossible
Christ was, which is why He did
Christ is, therefore we are
We are as we abide in Him
Producing fruit; pruned to yield more
Without Him we can do nothing
Without faith we cannot please Him
Without grace we are doomed
So turn to Him O soul
Gaze in faith with a single eye
That your whole body may shine
As you meditate on the Divine
Christ is magnified, God is glorified; We are sanctified
Agape breaks through ourselves, and the other encounters Him
In Communion with the Holy Ghost - Illumination
In devotion to the Father - His Kingdom comes
To imitate the Lord Jesus Christ - is to be in Him and to do His will
Only in this...
Living in this Reality..
Can Christ be conferred
An Upright Man and the Outcast meet; Christ redeems a soul. "Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins" (Proverbs 10:12 NKJV). "Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?" (Romans 2:4 NKJV).
