The Christ life is in harmony with our nature. Just recently, I was asked by a sincere and intelligent non - Christian woman. She displayed the deepest hunger for the truth about Christ and she sincerely asked, "How can Christ enter us and we not lose our individuality in the process? This experience will destroy our personality; it violates our responsibility as individuals."
My response was, "Your personality is incomplete without Christ. Christ made us and we were made for Christ, and until we meet Him personally, we are not complete. "Suppose," I continued, "that gas jet should say, 'If I take this fire in, the gas coursing through me will lose its individuality. That wouldn't be right isn't it? It is only when the fire comes in that the gas fulfills its purpose.
"Suppose the rain should say, 'What shall I do? If I drop on the ground I shall lose my individuality.' But it falls and is absorbed by the soil, and with the coming spring the evidence of the rain's presence grew through green grasses and wild flowers flourishing shyly."
Our individualities are never at lost when we have Christ within us. Let us rise to our new life in Christ and allow Him to work through us; we are made complete in Christ. I live by the faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
