Foreword
The author of these studies did great good by exposing the fundamental principles of Christian life and walk to numerous groups of young workers. This work has been published in Spanish in several speeches of his, including those gathered under the title: Normal Christian life , which have been a blessing to many.
Books published in other languages with the aforementioned title, generally including another series of studies, address the same topics but more broadly. Many who have read them have requested a Spanish edition and with the conviction that their message deserves a more extensive circulation today.
In the book “The Normal Christian Life” the Apostle Paul gives his own definition of the Christian life in the letter to the Galatians, ch. 2, verse 20: “… no longer I, but … Christ …”. The apostle does not declare here something special or singular, a higher level of Christianity. He is presenting God’s standard for a Christian, which can be summed up in the words: I no longer live, but Christ lives His life in me.
