More than Conquerors

The Word of God declares that our lives are hidden in Christ.  Jesus said that if a man desires to find his life in this world he should pursue losing it.  One way of looking at what Jesus said is that he is telling us that if we lose our life, for His sake, then we will really find it.
It is interesting that our world is filled with the spirit of 'finding oneself' by looking inward.  The desire to want to find one's purpose, one's meaning in life, is not bad in and of itself.  It is the means by which we seek to find out this understanding that is troubling.  While the world says look inside oneself, Jesus says look outside of ourselves.  Specifically, in Colossians 3:3 the life we seek - our true lives - is found hidden IN Christ.  Notice that even though it is hidden, the bible tells us where it is: in Christ. 
It follows that this is in line with the bible's encouragement to seek God, His face and His person.  As Christians, the life we seek is found in Christ.  Thus it behooves us to seek Him.  For in doing so not only will we find Him, but we will find ourselves as well. 
Keep your minds fixed on things there, not on things here on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
(Colossians 3:2-3 GNB)
Col 3:2=3  あなたがたは、地上のものを思わず、天にあるものを思いなさい。 あなたがたはすでに死んでおり、あなたがたのいのちは、キリストとともに、神のうちに隠されてあるからです。
For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also certain of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
(Acts 17:28 MKJV)
そのように私たちは神の子孫ですから、神を、人間の技術や工夫で造った金や銀や石などの像と同じものと考えてはいけません。
(Acts 17:29 JSS)
