There is a truth that I find in the bible. I find it in Galatians, Ephesians, in fact in almost all of Paul's writing.
The truth is this, it is no long I who live, but Christ who lives in me. Galatians 2:20
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:31-32
So if Jesus lives in my heart and has become one with me and everyone else in the body of Christ, it should be a given that I love my heart with my whole heart. After all, wouldn't that be loving Christ?
If Christ lives in me, then I might ought consider to love my life and not hate it.
If I am to have a relationship with Jesus and I find him inside of me, then I should seek to have a great relationship with myself.
If I am wanting a relationship with Jesus and he is in other Christians hearts, then I might have success with that goal as I get to know the hearts of others.
How can it be true that "Christ lives in me" and "if I say I have no sin I deceive others and the truth is not in me"? Could it be that Christ can live in me even when I sin?
Am I a liberal Christian? Such a terrible label and yet I am not sure what it means.
