TRUE CHRISTIANITY – CHRIST LIVES IN YOU
“so that it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. This life that I live now, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me”
Galatians 2:20 (GNT)
Undoubtedly, there are many religions or religious groups in the world. However, true Christianity is not one of these religions; though over a period of time some have created a religion out of the true Christian faith.
Those who believed in Jesus were referred to as Christians in Antioch, because of the life they exuded. They were not called Christians because of their religious activities.
“…It was in Antioch that the followers of Jesus were first revealed as “anointed ones”. Acts 11:26 (TPT)
From the King James Bible, the word used was “called” instead of “revealed”.
The word “called” is from the Greek word, “Chrematizo” which means to utter an oracle or to divinely intimate; it is to reveal and to constitute a certain reality.
In Antioch, the believers in Christ were not just called “Christians” as a term. They spoke of them as Christians, by supernatural revelation.
Christ, (Christos in Greek) means the anointed.
True Christians are:
– followers of Christ
– a people who are in oneness of fellowship with Christ
– and also the anointed ones by supernatural revelation.
True Christianity is not following Christ by trying to obey some external rules. It is living an organic life.
It is great to know that Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. (Acts 1:9-12); yet you may not experience the reality of His life.
The glorious mystery of God revealed is that, Christ is in you (Colossians 1:27).
To know True Christianity is to know that the Christ who ascended, now lives in you through the Spirit.
This is not religion. This is life!
True Christianity is the expression of God’s life in you.
Please take a look at the opening verse in the Passion Translation:
“My old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of his cross crucified me with him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, and dispenses his life into mine“ Galatians 2:20 (TPT)
Beloved, True Christianity is Christ living in you. It is functioning by faith in Christ. This transcends religion.
Hallelujah!
DIG DEEPER
(Ephesians 3:17; 2 Thessalonians 1:10; Colossians 3:4; Romans 8:10; Galatians 4:19)
WE PRAY
We pray that we will live out our true life which is Christ and not function merely according to religious systems.
BIBLE READING IN THE YEAR 2024

DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– I have the life of God at work in me.

The God-Kind of life : Zoe
I function by faith in Christ and not by religious systems. True Christianity is not following Christ by trying to obey some external rules. It is living an organic life. I live an organic life.
True Christianity is not following external set of rules. True Christianity is living the life of Christ inside of you.
