We were talking about our personal participation in the obedience of Christ as our own life of obedience. It is one thing to study the life that Jesus lived and quite another to embrace being woven into the fabric of His existence. A life of obedience that never costs you anything is a faithless

Jn 19:30, When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. 1 Jn. 2; 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him. I have often said that living the Christian
