Galatians chapter 2 verse 20.

I don't know many verses that better describe what it means to be a Christian, what it means to be a

follower of Christ. Paul writes, 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.

What a great verse. This describes so for every person who's a follower of Christ,

just think about what this verse is saying about us. We've been crucified

with Christ. This language, very intentional. We think about Jesus' words to

would-be disciples all throughout the Gospels. If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself,

take up his cross and follow me. So the cross is not just a place of death for Christ.

The cross is a place of death for us. As followers of Christ, we have

died to ourselves. We have crucified ourselves. We have been crucified with

Christ to the point where it's no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us

This great exchange my life has been exchanged for the life of Christ.

Christ himself now lives in me.

It's not me anymore.

It's Christ who lives in me.

It's not you anymore, but Christ who lives in you.

So yes, we live in the flesh every day but how do we live? We live by

faith in the son of God. What a picture so we're not just saved at that

initial point of salvation by faith, we actually live by faith.
