person in a common situation. In ordinary daily life we all are bothered by murmurings, reason­ ings, crookedness, and even perverseness. Thus, we need a constant salvation day by day.

WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE CHRIST

We need this salvation not only to bring us out of negative things, but also to bring us into a glorious condition of presenting the word of life to those around us. The salvation in Philippians 1:19 brings us into a state where Christ is mag­ nified in us, and the salvation in 2:12 brings us into a condition where we hold forth the living Christ as the word of life to others. To have this salvation, which we need daily and hourly, is to live Christ in a practical way.

Do you know what it means to live Christ? To live Christ means that no matter what our circumstances may be, Christ is magnified in us and we are not put to shame in anything. Hence, the salvation in Philippians 1:19 is equal to liv­ ing Christ. To enjoy and experience this salva­ tion is to live Christ. Furthermore, to live Christ also means that in our daily life we are saved from murmurings, reasonings, crookedness, and per­ verseness, and that we present our living Lord as the word of life to those whom we meet day by

day. What a tremendous salvation! We all need this daily, constant salvation, a salvation which is nothing other than Christ Himself.
