effected by the ontological presence of the Spirit of Christ
dwelling within the spirit of a Christian who has received
Him by faith, and the Spirit of Christ functioning through
that Christian’s behavior. It is not just a casual relationship
of acquaintance with the historical Jesus or with the
theological formulations of Jesus’ work. Perhaps it would
be better to indicate that “Christianity is not religion; it is
the reality of Jesus Christ as God coming in the form of His
Spirit to indwell man in order to restore him to the
functional intent of God whereby the character of God is
allowed to be manifested in man’s behavior to the glory of
God.
Christianity is not religion! Christianity is Christ!
Christianity is “Christ-in-you-ity.” Jesus Christ did not
found a religion to remember and reiterate His teaching.
Christianity is the personal, spiritual presence of the risen
and living Lord Jesus Christ, manifesting His life and
character in Christians, i.e. “Christ-ones.” Paul explained,
“It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the
life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself up for me” (Gal. 2:20).
