A Definition Of Living Christ

A DEFINITION OF LIVING CHRIST

Both Philippians 1:19-21 and 2:12-16 refer to the same thing. In chapter one Paul says that his circumstances will turn out to his salvation. Then instead of being put to shame, he will magnify Christ. This is to live Christ. In chap ter two Paul charges us to work out our sal vation according to God's operation within us. Then instead of murmuring and reasoning, we shall shine as luminaries, holding forth the word of life. Philippians 2:12-16 is thus a definition of 1:19-21. In 1:19 we have the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. This Spirit is the very God who operates in us. Furthermore, to mag nify Christ is to shine as luminaries without murmuring or reasoning, and to live Christ is to hold forth the word of life.

SATURATED WITH THE WORD OF LIFE

This brings us to a crucial matter: to live Christ we must first receive the word of life and be constituted of it. If we would live Christ, we need to receive the Word into our being and allow it to saturate us. The more we are infused with the Word, the more we shall be transformed. Spontaneously our thought, love, aspiration, and

conversation will become Christ. The word of life infused into us will wash away the elements of culture and become the new constituent in our inner being. Then we shall live Christ.
