Life in Christ

December 14, 2020

The good news of the gospel is that Jesus is Lord (Col 1:18). As Lord he is restoring all things through His gracious rule because of His perfect life, sacrificial death and victorious resurrection (1 Cor 15:20-28). At Citizens Church, that means the gospel not only saves us, but changes us by empowering us to live under the gracious rule of Jesus, our king. All of life is then lived IN CHRIST (Col 3:3). In Christ, we seek grace for sin. In Christ, we receive a new identity. In Christ, we are formed into His image. In Christ, we exist together as a united people with a shared love. All of who we are and what we do is defined by life in Him.
