For genuine believers, there’s really no such thing as “the Christian life”, there’s just life.

It’s not what one DOES but what one IS, which dictates and determines  what one does.

What one is, i.e., who one is, i.e., whose  one is.

In other words, there should be no thin line, no distinction  between “the Christian life” and a Christian’s life.  His or her day-to-day, month-to-month, year-to-year life.  Since a genuine believer’s life will indeed be “taken over”, will be consumed with and by Christ.

• “…Christ, who IS OUR LIFE…” (Colossians 3:4)
• “…Christ LIVES IN ME…” (Galatians 2:20)

As those of you who’ve read many of my posts know, I use this phrase often since it’s so conducive to concise communication of that concept, but the purpose of this post is to make clear that there shouldn’t be any separation, any difference or distinction between “the Christian life” and the day-to-day life of a Christian.  As with the biblical picture of marriage, so in this case the two should be one.
