Is Christ Really Your Life? We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has TURNED TO HIS OWN WAY; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6 I have a marketing and sales background and and yet I am learning the Gospel of True Grace cannot IN any way be sold or handled by the arm of flesh according to MY OWN WAY. He is the One who promotes and He is the One who demotes, and discovering this has become an important lesson as it flies right IN the face of every practical thing normal Christian ministries do to market, promote, and preserve what they believe is still their own. What then is my reward? Just this: that IN preaching the Gospel I may offer it FREE OF CHARGE, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the Gospel. I Corinthians 9:18 So am I reading this right, the Gospel offered FREE OF CHARGE? What an amazing concept! So if what Paul is saying here is true then what does that say about the conference speakers, evangelists, and so called prophets who are collecting money hand over fist today? And what about the pastors who continue to fleece the unsuspecting sheep by using the manipulation of the old law called tithing? For you died, and your life is NOW hidden with Christ IN God. When CHRIST WHO IS YOUR LIFE, appears, then you also will appear with Him IN Glory. Colossians 3:3-4 Christ NOW is our only Life, and Christ NOW is willing and doing, and He is doing it IN and through my weakness, and ALL of it without any of my help, so I can finally be finished with the same manipulating Christian marketing tactics that I NOW see as being diametrically opposed to the following... “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? And why is that? Because we who know Him as our only Life and have IN mind the things of God are NOW well content with eating of His Body and drinking His Blood. How else could we ever know the REAL Life of Christ IN us and as us? Whats more, how will we know our REAL life isnt about the temporal outer garments of performance based religion, which always wear out over time. but IN knowing we are clothed from top to bottom, front to back, and inside and out...with the Life of Christ Himself!
