No Regrets

Would you like a simple formula for how to live with no regrets? Have you had days that ended with a sense of failure? You did something or said something that you later regretted. I know what that is about.

I have learned the key to avoiding such days is to let Christ live through me. It is no longer I that lives, but Christ that lives in me. Every day of the week.

You don’t live. Yes, you read it right, you don’t live. What do I mean by a statement like that?

Jesus Himself gave us the same advice.  He said in Luke 9:23 “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

The cross is an instrument of death. He wants us to look at our life apart from Him as dead. And in Romans 6 Paul tells us that when Christ died, we, by faith in Him, died with Him that as He was raised to a new life we too, by faith, would be raised to new life – His life in us.

Since He is deity He does not make mistakes. He has no regrets. This is the victorious Christian life.

God wants to take care of all that is important to us. He can be trusted. He loves us and wouldn’t hurt us. We can let go of all we hold dear and turn our lives over to Him.  Then we can give Him our full attention.  He will show us how to live. If we follow Him closely, He will guide our lives, and His life will grow in us expressing itself through us. This is how to live with no regrets.

Let him live for us. See here for more about how to stop trying so hard to be a good Christian.
