Theme for the Week: REDEEMED FROM MORAL DEPRAVITY THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD
Reading: Galatians 2:20-21
_______________________
Galatians 2:20 NIV
[20] I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
The implications of our identification with Christ's death and resurrection call us to live lives that are no longer driven by our own selfish desires and ambitions, but by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us.
To be crucified with Christ means that we have died to sin and its power over us. It means that we are no longer slaves to our sinful nature, but free to live in obedience to God's will. It means that the mercy of God has triumphed over our moral depravity, and we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
But this truth also comes with a challenge. If we have been crucified with Christ, then we must also live as if we have died to ourselves. We must daily take up our cross and follow Him, denying ourselves and surrendering our lives completely to His lordship.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we praise You. Lord, may the life we live reflect Christ who lives in us, in Jesus' name. Amen.
