“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.” Galatians 2:20
Have you ever felt the pull of God on your life? Have you ever experienced that place where you know God is doing something in your life even though you just cant seem to pin point it? You see things differently. You feel the frustrations and pains of the world? This is all a part of the dying to self process and learning to lean not on your own understanding but trust solely in the Lord. This is where complete sell out comes into play.
Have you tired of the folk playing church and doing nothing short of appearing pious and deep? Has God heightened your sensitivity for the lost and wounded? This is the place where we connect with Jesus at a different level and we truly seek to live a Christ Like life filled with Christ Like characteristics. You see God created you and I for much more than going to church on Sunday and filling this or that position in Church. Having been crucified with Christ and living no longer in our flesh is where our selfishness, pride, ego and sense of entitlement as followers of Christ diminish and He increases. The new body is dedicated to the works of the cross and having faith that He who has begun a good work in you will
complete it. Understanding that God so loved the world meaning you and I that He gave His only begotten son so that we who believe will never perish but have ever lasting life. As a follower of Christ I feel compelled to work in His vineyards and complete the work that His Father has given Him to complete. I understand my role as a child of God and the work that comes along with it not just the blessings. Christ made the ultimate sacrifice through His persecution, beatings and ultimately crucifixion. Whatever we
go through in our journey with Christ will never compare to what He endured. Thus the things that we suffer while working in the vineyards are of little comparison to what Jesus endured.
“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.” What are you doing with the life Jesus provided you through His crucifixion, death, and his rising from the
grave?
