Galatians 2:20 “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.”
Galatians 2:20 is a tremendous summation verse of who we are as Christians! We are to view ourselves as having been crucified with Christ! Thus, the old life we had is to be viewed as dead! We now have a new life, and that life is Christ (who rose from the dead!) Christ lives in the believer!
Read this and let it settle in your heart: Jesus Christ lives in the believer. If you are a believer Christ lives in you!
A believer lives in Christ, and Christ lives in the believer.
What does this mean? I was taught it means the indwelling Christ controls all of our life! We live life like Christ because it is Christ who lives in us.
For this to be lived out we live by faith, trusting His guidance in our lives. His guidance is best as He loves us the most. He loved us so much that He gave Himself. He gave His life – for us, for you.
Does the indwelling Christ control all your life? Do you understand that your old life is to be considered dead (Romans 6:6-13) Are you living life by faith in the Son of God? Are you growing in comprehension of just how much Jesus loves you and how much He did for you?
Christ loves you! As a believer, Christ lives in you!
