Summary

Galatians 2: 20-21 - 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. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[c] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

0:00.0	Hello my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. I want you to stop for a moment and think
0:08.8	about those times in life. Perhaps it was in you teenage years or in your early college age years, you know, early
0:16.8	20s, when you're doing what people refer to as finding yourself. You remember that? The time when you're trying to figure out who am I and who do I want to be in the world?
0:32.1	What are my passions? What are my desires? What are the things that I feel are uniquely me that I need to learn to live and express in my life. You see each of us has a sort of calling from God to
0:47.9	uniquely be who he has made us to be. And the passage we're going to look at today
0:54.3	in Galatians 2,
0:56.1	versus number 20 and 21, I believe tell us
1:00.5	who we are as believers in Jesus Christ and it is not who we usually think we are.
1:08.7	Let's read the passage and I think it's going to become evident right away what it is I'm talking about.
1:14.7	Pole writing to the Galatian says, I have been crucified with Christ.
1:21.8	It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the
1:30.4	flesh, I live by faith in the son of God, who love me and gave himself for me.
1:38.6	I do not nullify the grace of God. For if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no
1:46.0	purpose. Now stop for a moment and listen to those words that Paul says. They are almost science fiction. They're
1:56.4	almost like some sort of a fantasy novel because Paul says he as a person as an individual who is still living and breathing
2:07.1	has actually been crucified and has died.
2:11.6	He's not describing some out-of-body experience he had, he's not describing some near-death experience
2:19.0	like we've heard of the term.
2:21.5	He's describing something that happened on a spiritual level because of his
2:26.6	faith in Jesus Christ. Now don't let your brain go tilt here. Don't let yourself get all confused. Stop for a moment and
2:35.7	just listen to the words that Paul says. Just as he says, I have been, you are able to say, I have been.
2:45.7	I have been crucified with Christ.
