Default Re: His Purpose - Christ in us

This morning I read a wonderful passage in the Major Ian Thomas book, "The Indwelling Life of Christ" that I thought to share. (from chapter 30, "Your Life is a Miracle")

Quote:
Why do so few Christians enjoy this miraculous resurrection Life?

Because they are educated out of it. They are taught to repudiate the indwelling presence of a resurrected Lord, and instead are told to do their best for Jesus, to emulate His example, to flex their own spiritual muscles, to stand up and be counted, to clench their fist and throw out their chest.

They are taught everything except to repent and to recognize that you and I were created to be inhabited by our Maker. They are taught in prayer to beg and say "Please" instead of saying "Thank You" as they relax and rest in Christ.
