Scripture teaches that Christ is not just a part of our life; He is our life, as believers derive their existence and purpose through Him.
In Colossians 3:4, we are reminded that when Christ, who is our life, appears, we will also appear with Him in glory. This profound statement emphasizes that Christ is central to our identity and existence. As Joseph nourished his brothers during the famine, providing what they needed for survival, so does Christ provide spiritual nourishment and sustenance. Our lives are held securely in His hands, and He is the source of our spiritual vitality. If Christ is indeed our life, our affections will be set on Him above all else, confirming that our relationship with Him dictates our existence. Without Christ, there is no true life or fulfillment.
