“Put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” EPHESIANS 4:24
What
is the Christian Life? It is leaving our ground
altogether and coming onto the ground of Christ. It is deeper than a
changed life – it is an exchanged life. Over time we can accomplish a
change, but we can do nothing to exchange our life for His Life. This,
from start to finish, is God’s work, and it is a work of grace.
What,
after all, is Righteousness? What is true Holiness? Christ is not
righteous because He does righteous things; He does righteous things
because He is Righteousness. Christ is not holy because He does holy
things; He does holy things because He is Holiness. His “doing” flows
out of His “being” – and OUR “doing” flows out of His “being” as well.
