Union With Christ: The Focus of the Christian


Once we change our focus from God to the struggle, we have lost the power by which God has provided for us to live a victorious life in Christ Jesus.  Whilst walking upon the tumultuous sea of this temporal life, in his daily battle of spirit versus flesh, the world, and the devil, the Christian must keep his eyes, heart, mind, and strength upon his mystical union with his Saviour; and realize that all blessings and power come from his living in Christ.  This is the meaning of the verse “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”(Gal.5:25)

Matthew 14:29,30 “And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.  But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.”
