Click here to go to Galatians 2
20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this
earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave
himself for me. 21 I
do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law
could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
Thank you Jesus!
Amen to that!
ReplyDeleteYes, the same verses definitely moved me as I read this passage today, especially verse 20.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Brought back to whom He intended me to be. Restored to His good purpose. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." No longer a breech in our relationship with Him.
ReplyDeleteGalatians 2
2a I went in response to a revelation from God.
4-5 False Christians were brought in. They slipped in as spies to learn about the freedom Christ Jesus gives us. They hoped to find a way to control us. But we did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the Good News would always be yours.
16 Yet, we know that people don’t receive God’s approval because of their own efforts to live according to a set of standards, but only by believing in Jesus Christ.
19-21 When I tried to obey the law’s standards, those laws killed me. As a result, I live in a relationship with God. I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live I live by believing in God’s Son, who loved me and took the punishment for my sins. I don’t reject God’s kindness. If we receive God’s approval by obeying laws, then Christ’s death was pointless.
