To be set free from the bond of sin,
To have the joy and peace within,
To live a life full of meaning,
Believe into the Lord.
Man’s way to please God—religion;
God’s way—a living Person;
Christ is God’s way of salvation;
Believe and you’ll be saved.

It pleases God to rescue us
Out of this present evil age,
And to reveal His Son in us—
Most peerless One of all!

We have received Christ the Spirit
Through faith and not our merit;
Having begun by the Spirit,
We learn to live by faith.
We are the sons of the living God,
Enjoy the blessings of our Lord,
Grace to our spirit He doth afford,
From our self-effort freed.

Oh what a joy! Christ now lives in us;
No longer I—how glorious!
He’s daily growing within us
Till He is formed in us.
We live and walk by the Spirit,
Enjoy the fruit of the Spirit;
To Him our whole lives we commit;
All else is vanity.

A delightful synopsis of God's economy in song! God's love for man caused Him to send his only begotten Son to accomplish our Redemption that we may be filled and live with Him as the life-giving Spirit in our spirit for the building up of His Body to consummate in the New Jerusalem as His bride for eternity! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Galatians 1:4 Who gave Himself for our sins that He might rescue us out of the present evil age according to the will of our God and Father, 5 To whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

I totally enjoy singing this hymn and believe every word in it.

The best part about being saved is that I don't have to go to church and be saved, or do works to obtain my salvation.
Eph. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

** A life in Christ is a life that is free from the bondage of sin and the vanity of this age. A life that is back to God's original intent and purpose of creating man..
** A life in Christ is a life that is filled with Christ as our joy and peace within daily, even moment by moment. A life that is the mingling of God in Christ as the Spirit with us constantly and eternally.

** A life in Christ is a life that is filled with Christ as the Spirit to be our enjoyment, experience and possession. A life that is dependent on Christ as our life and life supply through our organic union with Him in His death and resurrection, that is our faith in the Son of God.
** A life in Christ is a life that is effortless and spontaneous, for it is not I but the grace of Christ, which energizes and empowers us daily. A life of being many sons of the living God that daily receives Christ as grace to be our everything from our God the Father as the source.
** A life in Christ is a life that allows Christ as our life to grow in us daily unto maturity for the preparation of His bride. A life that allows Christ to saturate, permeate and soak our entire being daily and continually that He may be formed in us.

** A life in Christ is a life that is one with Christ in His life, nature, expression and function. A life that fulfills His heart's desire and purpose by being blended and built up with other believers to be His built-up Body now and His coming bride at His second coming..
** A life in Christ is a life that lives and works out the New Jerusalem, the holy city as God's ultimate goal in this present age for the fulfillment of God's heart's desire and the accomplishment of His eternal purpose. A life that is on the highest plane by fulfilling and accomplishing God's original intention and will in His creation of man with the universe.
Oh, What A Life!
