Shouldn't it be more about living by faith now that we have Christ who is our life? http://biblehub.com/colossians/3-4.htm; http://biblehub.com/romans/1-17.htm; http://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/5-7.htm

And, if we think our brother or sister isn't living enough by faith.... after we take the log out of our own self righteous eye, shouldn't we spend our time praying for them and encouraging them, rather than criticizing them?
I'm wondering if we have more of Christ or does Christ have more of us. I'm afraid of the more of life concept because whose life are we talking about?
