Christian Life

The christian life is a description of the daily life of the new creation on the earth. It is the life of Christ lived through a man or woman on the earth.This is the reason why christianity is not a religion where we try to do the things that some supernatural being  wants us to do. Rather, christianity is God living through and in us. It is a Spirit-powered life and not an ordinary day to day life of human beings. Since it is Someone else’s life we are living, it implies that allowing that Someone to live within us is the anchor that holds it all. This is called surrender. The christian life is a surrendered life where Christ lives His glorious life through abandoned vessels as we relinquish the control of our lives to Him. God designed the christian life to be a flourishing life, full of victorious and triumphs one after the other. It is a life and a lifestyle in itself which we must learn to live. Let these devotionals and teachings open your understanding and encourage you to fully enjoy the eternal life which Christ came to give you.
