My Life is None of My Business

Real Christian maturity will not be achieved until we come to believe that our life is really none of our business.  Our life is none of our business, because the life we must live is not ours –  the life we are to live is the life of Jesus Christ who lives in and through us.  It is His life, His mind, and His truth that we must accept and to which we must yield.  I have no rights.  Spiritually, I know nothing apart from Him.  I can’t define truth by my own power and reasoning.  Truth only comes by the Spirit of God and that truth is Christ.

In the modern world it is difficult for people to accept the idea that their life is none of their business.  That is one of the reasons people struggle with real Christianity.  Dying to yourself and allowing you to be molded into the image of Jesus is what Christianity is about.  If you try to hang on to your own life it works against God’s purpose.

Is your life your business?
