If we don’t understand the New Covenant, it will be impossible to cultivate intimacy with God. If this is the case, we often try in our own strength to earn nearness to Christ not realizing that it is only possible through His work on the cross. The offense and mystery of the Gospel is that Christ is in you and has given Himself freely to you when you least deserved it! When we meditate on the truth that Christ is in us, the Christian life becomes a joy as we begin living from union with Christ and overflowing with love for those around us.
