Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
The life I now live, I live by faith in the Son of God.
What an awesome summary of life in Christ!
We have been crucified with Christ, dead, but made alive again in Him. Our past has been erased by the mercy and grace of God. We are a new creation in Christ.
It is no longer us who lives, but Christ living in us. He has bought us at a price, shedding His blood for our sins, thereby enabling us to become one of His. In Him we live and move and have our being.
Our life is no longer our own. This is one of the biggest things we need to recognize and understand. When we finally get this, it will change the way we see life. And it will change the way we live.
We now live life by faith in the Son of God. We recognize that without Him, we are nothing… dead in sin, purposeless and meaningless. But in Him, we are now dead to sin.
He loved us and gave His life for us. The ultimate sacrifice. For you, and for me.
We need to understand it, embrace it, and walk in it every day of our lives.
Amen
