The City of Light Baptist Church-Silvino Lubos Youth Organization (CLBC-SLYO) is a Cruciform life shaped by the cross. We believe that a believer’s life should be conformed to the cross of Christ. In his passion to know Christ, Paul said in Philippians 3:10. “becoming like Him (Christ) in His death..” This is an expression that means, like Christ who denied himself, Paul wanted to deny himself as well. Jesus himself, said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily…” (Luke 9:23). In Paul’s theology, a believer has died with Christ and Christ should be the one living in Him. In His own words, Paul said, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20b). Therefore, a young people who has come to understand the Gospel should be living a cross-shaped life.
