THE SEED
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
Becoming a Christian is not simply adopting a new set of beliefs; it’s receiving a new identity. Apostle Paul’s declaration in Galatians 2:20 is powerful: he declared that his old self was crucified with Christ, and now Christ lives in him. This is the essence of the Christian life; a total transformation through union with Jesus. This should be the testimony of all believers in Christ. We should no longer be defined by our past, our failures, or our status. We are now defined by Christ in us. Christ’s life, His love and His righteousness now shape who we are. This identity empowers us to live by faith and walk in victory. Let this truth sink deeply into our hearts: Christ lives in us! Let it shape our thoughts, choices, and purpose each day. This is the life we are called to and to live it to the fullest must be our uttermost desire.
BIBLE READING: Galatians 2:17-21
PRAYER: Jesus, thank You for giving me a new identity. I am no longer who I used to be; I am Yours, and You live in me. Help me to live each day by faith, guided by Your love and empowered by Your presence, Amen.
