John 6:57: “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.”
Colossians 3:3: “For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”
1 John 5:11: “And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.”
Living by the elements of the Triune God is essential to the Christian life. John 6:57 tells us that just as Jesus lives by the Father, we live by Christ. The life we now live is not our own, but Christ’s life, and this life is sustained by the Father. This divine life becomes our life through union with Christ, who is the source of life.
Colossians 3:3 reveals that our life is hidden with Christ in God. The Christian life is not a life lived in isolation but one that is hidden in Christ, a life that is protected, nourished, and sustained by Him. This life is both a mystery and a reality that unfolds as we live according to the divine elements.
1 John 5:11 tells us that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Eternal life is not just a future hope; it is a present reality that empowers us to live today by the elements of the Triune God.
This life within us enables us to live out the reality of Christ, allowing us to express the divine life and live for the Body of Christ.
