Galatians 2:16. NCBV.
16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God not by following the law, but by trusting in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus, that we might be made right with God because we trusted in Christ. It is not because we followed the law, because no one can be made right with God by following the law.
Paul in his letters to Galatians 2:20, says “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me”.
Because of what Christ did, we can confidently stand and say that we are in Him and He is in us. Though we live in our earthly bodies, our spirit has been regenerated. We have been redeemed. We have a glorious future ahead of us, and it is by faith we believe this and continue to live out the will of God for our lives. We live a life of faith now, of total trust in our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Almighty God, our Father, who never stopped loving us and never will.
When Christ Jesus dwells in you, you become one with Christ and the Spirit of Christ is actively at work in your soul.
The Spirit equips us with gifts for ministry and thrusts out the people of God into every sphere of life. The Spirit intercedes for us. The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. The Spirit help us with uncommon wisdom to begin to do uncommon things and these are things we weren’t able to do ordinarily. “My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people”. (Ezekiel 37:27).
But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. (John 16:7)
When Jesus Christ lives in You , He will bring in a Comforter, a Helper, an Advocate, a Counselor,a Standby and a Strengthener to be with you to direct into all things. Allow Him To Live in You
PRAYER
Dear God, our Heavenly Father, I just want to thank you for your endless love for me. You have been there for me far before I knew of you or even thought of coming to you. I will forever thank you for that precious act of love, where you gave up your Son so that I could be a part of you again. Jesus, my Savior, thank you for what you did for me and for everyone else on this earth. Thank you for this beautiful life I now have in you for You Live in me and the life I live now is in You. Thank you for finding me worthy In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
REFLECTION
We honor God in our living as our behavior becomes more and more conformed to the image of Christ as we live in Him.
