Section 10
living in us or one? The best answer to this ques tion is to say that the One who lives in us is the pneumatic Christ, the Christ who is the life- giving Spirit.
Christians often say, "Our Christ is living; we have a living Christ." This living Christ is the Christ in resurrection and the Christ who is res urrection. In John 11:25 the Lord Jesus said, "I am the resurrection." Here we see that Christ Himself is resurrection. The very Christ who is now in resurrection is the resurrection itself.
WALKING IN RESURRECTION
The New Testament charges us to walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 25). To walk by the Spirit simply means to walk in resurrection. In order to experience this, we need to deny ourselves so that Christ may live in us. If we die, Christ lives. Christ lives in us by our dying.
DYING THAT CHRIST
MAY LIVE IN US
Now that Christ lives within us, we are inti mately involved with Him. We may say that He and the believer become one "seed." You are the shell, and He is the life within the shell. The shell needs to die so that the life within it may live.
