Christ Living in Me
Backgrounder on Galatians 1-3:
This epistle is Paul’s manifesto of
justification by faith and the liberty
that produces. Paul directs this
great charter of Christian freedom
to people who are about to forsake
the priceless liberty they possess
in Christ. Certain Jewish legalists
are influencing the believers in
Galatia to trade their freedom
in Christ for bondage to the law.
Paul writes to refute their false
gospel of works & to show the
superiority of justification by faith.
Lord, we will Live For You:
For through the law I died to the
law so that I might live for God.
I have been crucified with Christ;
it is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me; and the life
which I now live in the flesh
I Live By Faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself
for me. (Gal 2:19-20). Amen.
Lord, thank you for loving me
and giving yourself for me.
Thank you for your desire to live
through me and enable me to
live for you. May the truth of
your Word give me the vision
to trust you with all that I am so
that all you are may dwell in me.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, thank You for enabling
me to Live this life by Faith. For
I have been crucified with Christ
and so I no longer live, but You
Christ Lives in me. What a wonder
that You Lord would take up
residence in my life. Set me free
to serve You with all my heart
and soul. Grant me the grace
to live joyously because
of my faith in You. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thank you for Your
great sacrificial love for us.
Thank You that You died for us
to pay sin’s penalty. And You
live in us to purify us from sin’s power. Lord Jesus, live big in me.
Teach me to Live by Confidence
In You instead of confidence
in me. Let the old ways of my
flesh die daily so that I can find
new resurrection life in You. Amen.
