To be in Christ.....

"To be in Christ ­ that is redemption; but for Christ to be in you ­ that is sanctification! To be in Christ ­ that makes you fit for heaven; but for Christ to be in you ­ that makes you fit for earth! To be in Christ ­ that changes your destination; but for Christ to be in you ­ that changes your destiny! The one makes heaven your home ­ the other makes this world His workshop."


(W. Ian Thomas - The Saving Life of Christ. Zondervan Publishing 1972. pg. 19)

  1. I love this guy's writing! I'm gonna hafta get that book some day. Wayne Jacobsen refers to it in one or more of his books, and the quotes he used were good like the one you used here. I can't remember what they were, but I remember that Wayne called this book one of those groundbreaking revelations of Christ's love for us.

    Thanks for posting it!
