Jesus Is My Life

-September 17, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Wednesday,

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

(Philippians 1:21).

For us, our lives just begun when we received Christ as Lord and Savior. It was our spiritual birthday. Oh, we were born into this world through our parents, but because of sin we were lost, dead, and hopeless.

We all once had a former life, but now we have a foremost life. Paul says of himself, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is Christ.” Later in Philippians, he wrote, “But what things were gain to me, these things I have counted loss for Christ” (Philippians 3:7). Therefore he counted all things loss, as rubbish to have and serve Christ.

When I woke up this morning, I put on Family Radio and they were playing a hymn, entitled, “All I Have is Christ. The chorus says, “Hallelujah, all I have is Christ, Hallelujah, Jesus is my life.”

I started thinking that Jesus is all I have, Jesus is all I need, Jesus is all I want. Our lives in Christ are all about Him. We know Him, we love Him, and we serve Him. Therefore let us give all to Him. He is truly our all in all. Nothing and no one is more important than He is.

Can you say, “Jesus is my life? “We can’t forget this in a fast paced, stressful, and unpredictable world. He is why we live, and one day we will be with Him in glory. The hymn writer, Will L. Thompson wrote, “Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall. When I am sad to Him I go, no other one can cheer me so; When I am sad He makes me glad, He’s my Friend.”

Have a blessed day with Jesus. Stay safe healthy, and close to Him.

When you have Jesus, you need nothing else for now and for eternity.
