![]() He sees our faces, our personalitys, and the “it’s just me” that he loves to pieces. Sometimes we say we want the world to see Jesus when they look at us, but really God sees Jesus when He looks at us. That is just such an incredible thing to me. “In all His dealings with us He works by taking us out of the way and substituting Christ in our place.” The Normal Christian Life is how Jesus lived, and God, instead of seeing our sin, sees Jesus’ perfect life. “I live no longer, but Christ lives on me.” ![]() It is human to sin and that is our normal, but the only One who ever lived a normal Christian life and ever will is Jesus. Is that the normal Christian life? Yes and No. It is normal in that this is the way Christians should normally live. If you have accepted God’s forgiveness for your sin, by His grace, you are living the normal Christian life.Īnd it’s not “normal” in that “I’ not perfect, just forgiven” sense. And what He does for us and how that is completely normal and completely the same across the board for all Christians. It’s not even about our ability to be normal or not. It’s not about what we can do or can’t do. The “normal” Christian life is not about us. So I hope you don’t mind if I share them here throughout the year. ![]() ![]() Two weeks ago we discussed chapter 1 and I have so many things that I want to remember. I’m rereading this book with some wonderful ladies that I know. ![]()
