Christ, who is our life.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:3-4) *1/ What Christ is to a believer now - our life. 2/ When he shall appear 3/ The prospect - we shall appear with him in glory.* ~~~~~~~ This sermon was preached from the UK into the Churches in Australia ~~~~~~~ **Sermon summary:** The sermon centres on the profound truth that believers are spiritually dead to sin and alive in Christ, whose life is now their own, secured by grace and maintained through faith. Drawing from Romans 8 and Colossians 3, it emphasizes that the Christian life is not a struggle to earn favour, but a response to a finished work in Christ, where mortification of sin is rooted in the reality of being united with Him. The preacher underscores that believers are hidden with Christ in God, their true life secure in Him, and look forward to the future hope of appearing with Christ in glory when He returns. This hope, grounded in divine sovereignty and the promise of resurrection, sustains the believer through present trials, fosters holy living, and assures eternal fellowship with God, where the conflict between flesh and spirit will be eternally resolved.
