The Christian Life

"The Christian life can be explained only in terms of Jesus Christ,
and if your life as a Christian can still be explained in terms of you -
your personality, your willpower, your gift, your talent,
your money, your courage, your scholarship,
 your dedication, your sacrifice, your anything -
then although you may have the Christian life,
you are not yet living it."
- Ian Thomas
 
I've been thinking about this recently. Do we really realize that since we are saved...everything is God's? He made the earth, He sent His Son to die for us, He gave us our talents, He made us. But...do we get a grip on that?
 
Are we living the Christian life in terms of Jesus Christ or in terms of us?
