Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who 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 for me.
When we accept Jesus Christ as Our Savior, we go beyond the knowledge of Jesus and all of His teachings. We go beyond adhering to the commandments that He gave us. We give up our rights to our old life in exchange for a renewed life lived in faith through the Son of God.
Our faith is no longer our own faith. Our faith is the faith that the Son of God has in the Father. Whatever faith we had before in the flesh was destined to die at some point. It was burdened by the death sentence associated with all sin. With the acceptance of our salvation, it died on the Cross with Jesus Christ. It was replaced by Christ’s living spirit within us.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the lives that You have given us. We embrace each day and live it for Your honor and Your glory. We thank You for providing Your Son so that we may be freed from the death sentence assigned to our flesh. We rejoice in our new eternal life in Christ. May we live each day in the fullness of His Spirit within us. May we live in obedience to You just as Your Son lives in obedience to You.
