The life we live now

Arrogance is all about “I”.
Humility is all about “NOT I”.

There are three
“NOT I”s
for our spiritual life.

NOT I BUT SIN.

NOT I BUT CHRIST.

NOT I BUT OTHERS.

We need our minds to be renewed.
We need to be trained how to think right.

COL 3:1-4

1. You died.
2. You have been raised up with Christ.

3. Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
4. Your life is hidden with Christ in God.

So first, God reveals facts to us.

Then God leads us step by step
into a whole new life based on these facts.

1. Hear (or read) the facts.
2. Believe the facts.

3. Think new thoughts based on those facts.
4. Live according to your new thinking.

As our case is new, we must think anew and act anew.

Keep seeking means keep thinking.

He made us alive together with Christ,

and raised us up with Him,

and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ.

Corrie ten Boom

How can we live
that life?

GAL 2:20

We have learned the facts.
How then should we live?

COL 3:5-10

1. You died.
2. You have been raised up with Christ.

3. Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
4. Your life is hidden with Christ in God.

You died.
You have been crucified with Christ.

Your old man was crucified with Christ.

You have been raised up with Christ.
You are a new creation.

You think a new way. Now you are ready to live this new life.

The
NOT I BUT CHRIST life
