A Word

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 up for me.

Galatians 2:20BSB

What it means

Identity in Christ is a death and a life. The old I has been crucified; the life now lived is Christ’s, received by faith and grounded in a love that gave everything.

Paul is arguing that we are justified by faith, not by works of the law. This verse is the personal center of that argument.

Where it addresses you

  • You are trying to earn what has already been given.

  • You need to be reminded that you are loved personally.

Found in Identity in Christ, Faith, God’s love.
