“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” —Colossians 1:27 Why do we struggle to live the Christian life despite our best efforts? The answer is simple: only Jesus Christ can truly live it, as He embodies the Christian life itself. Major W. Ian Thomas offers a refreshing perspective on experiencing victory by embracing the living Savior within. As you become genuinely available to Christ, He can take over, transforming your Christian walk into a vibrant and effective journey. This inspiring devotional, complete with application questions, encourages a consistent focus on Jesus, allowing you to serve and enjoy Him on a deeper level. You can attempt to avoid sin and resist temptation, but that effort still centers on you. True holiness, as demonstrated by Jesus, comes from allowing God to dwell within you. Major W. Ian Thomas emphasizes that Jesus did not focus on avoiding sin; instead, He relied on the Father’s presence in His life. So, who do you want to dwell in you? More of yourself, or all of Christ? The story behind this message reveals Major W. Ian Thomas's journey from spiritual exhaustion at nineteen to discovering the transformative power of the indwelling Christ. Inspired by Galatians 2:20, he learned to surrender to Jesus, realizing that it is Christ living through him who accomplishes His work. This profound understanding has been the core of his passionate message throughout his life.
