Hidden with Christ

in #steemchurch5 years ago

For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.
Colossians 3:3-4

The reason why we must remember to look for Christ and think about him in our life is that at the moment of the conversion a rupture took place, we went from a life without God to a life in close communion with him.

The Christian's life is characterized by a close relationship with God. But this relationship is hidden from the world, which will not be able to see or understand what has happened in our hearts.

What the people around us will see are the external signs, the change that happens little by little in our lives. That's why the world will even consider us crazy or stupid. But it is impossible for those who have not experienced it to understand that in Christ we have infinitely more than in the world.

But this also means that our life can only be nourished by God and not by the world. The world disappoints and leaves those who do not know God deeply unhappy and will do the same with us. How can we be so naive as to forget it?

But the fact that our life is hidden with Christ in God is also a great encouragement. Our life is hidden, protected and safe from all spiritual enemies. No one can ever steal us from the hand of God.

Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17


One day our life that is still hidden with Christ in God will be manifested. It will happen at the moment of the second coming of Christ, when it will visibly return for all and each person will have to recognize and confess that he is the Lord.

It will happen when Christ returns to establish his reign on this earth. At that time, we will also be manifested with him in Glory. We will receive an immortal body, we will be like Christ and we will reign with him for 1000 years.

The secret to having a happy and full life as Christians is to have Christ at the center of our lives. Have Christ as an example and as a teacher. Allow the Holy Spirit to transform our way of thinking, so that Christ's way of thinking becomes more and more.

I say goodbye as I usually do with a beautiful song entitled Hidden of Will Reagan courtesy of Youtube.

Sort:  

It is the safest place we can be, and it is a phrase that attracts a lot of attention.
That leads me to think that my life does not belong to me. I live in Christ and for Christ. As Paul says: "It is no longer I who live, but rather Christ who lives in me"
