Walk in Him
“As you received Christ Jesus the Lord [the Narrow Gate],
so walk in Him [the Narrow Path].”
COLOSSIANS 2:6 ESV
so walk in Him [the Narrow Path].”
COLOSSIANS 2:6 ESV
We come to the Lord admitting that we cannot save ourselves, and He does the saving. That is the Gate. Now we come to the Lord every day, admitting that we cannot enter the Kingdom, and He does what it takes to conform us into His image. That is the Path.
Hence, I have no secret for the Christian Life, but Christ. I have no key, but Christ. I have no method, but Christ. I have no formula, but Christ. I have no technique, but Christ. I have no life, but Christ – for it is no longer I who lives, it is Christ Who lives in me (Galatians 2:20). In Him, through Him, because of Him, and by Him we may enter the Kingdom.

When one relies on Christ to be the centrality and universality of all things in their life….then He by all means takes His rightful place…..Have a subjective relationship with Christ as well as an objective one…..He lives in your spirit and has joined Himself with your spirit where you mutually abide together. Don’t imprison him….allow and give Him permission to move into your soul where you will begin to experience what its like to live and move and have your being in Him…
I have never perceived walking with the Lord in this light. Really makes sense to me now.
Thanks for sharing brother Chip!
Blessings,

Yes, yes yes….only Christ !!
We used to make it so complicated and many are still making it complicated! But Paul writes:For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Hallelujah !!!!
