The relationship I have in Christ Jesus is the one that gives me life.
Christ lived for us to be one of us. A Christian is somebody related to God, in the family of God. They are born-again by the Spirit of God. It is not a case of having a religious experience one day, or a vision, or feeling good or happy. It is a relationship—a closeness, a family tie. Christ lived for us, in order to belong to us. If Christ belongs to me, then I am saved. If He belongs to you, then you are saved. Christ gave Himself for us, and gave Himself to us. Salvation means being united with Him. Jesus does not send salvation: He is salvation. He does not send forgiveness: He brings it. He forgives us and lives with us. Doesn’t that thrill your soul to know that, today…you are living with Christ!
