Live By Faith In Christ (Nov 16)
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 purpose to 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 (Galatians 2:19-20). Amen.
Lord Jesus, 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. What a wonder
that You Lord would take up
residence in my life. In gratitude,
I purpose to Live For You God.
And set me free to serve You
with all my heart and soul. Amen.
Lord Jesus, Thank You for enabling
me to Live By Faith this life. For
I have been crucified with Christ
and so I no longer live, but You
Christ Lives in me. 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.
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 for
sin’s penalty. Thank You for living
in us to purify us from sin’s power.
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.
