The whole flow of your life

ContinentalDivide3

“As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him.”  Colossians 2:6

How did you receive Christ Jesus the Lord?  With the empty hands of faith.  Okay, so walk in him: “As . . ., so . . . .”

Christian living goes by the same ground rules as Christian conversion.  Justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone apart from all our works — that’s how we enter, that’s how we live.  We never advance beyond grace.  We never graduate to “deeper things.”  Sanctification gets traction from the positive energy of justification.

When you came into Christ, the whole flow of your life reversed.  You crossed the Continental Divide from self-justification, with all its painful complications, to grace-justification, with all its happy freedom.  Don’t cross back.  The whole flow of your life is grace.  Enjoy it, moment by moment.
