Abiding in Christ isn’t achieved by successfully following certain steps. It is an act of faith by which we simply choose to believe that He is our life, that He will express Himself through us, and then act as if He was doing that very thing at this moment.—Steve McVey
Thus, I began my new walk of utter dependency. I dared not depend on my university training, my skills as a communicator, my cleverness, my ability. I had depended on all those things before, and they had let me down like the Titanic. I wanted out, and I believed I had seen a biblical crack in the door that would bail me out of this awful situation and glorify Christ if He pulled it off. I was going to let the Lord do it all through me....It is just a matter of believing that He is and acting as if He is.—Bill Gillham, Ph.D.
Believing that Christ wants to live His life through me is accurate theology. Functioning like Christ is living His life through me is authentic Christianity. --Chip Kirk
