The Life of Christ in Us

The Life of Christ in Us

It is easy to forget that we are called to have a personal intimacy with Jesus Christ. We may have head knowledge, but we need more than that. We can have religion without Christ. But He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him in which we trust in Him rather than in our own abilities.
