Crucified with Christ:
20 “I have been crucified
with Christ; and 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 up for me.
When Christ was crucified, we were
legally crucified with Him. He lives His holy life in us, as we permit Him. If
we try to live this life in our own power, we will fail. We can only live it by
having faith in Him to live His life in us. It’s hard for us to keep from
trying to live it on our own. We are so used to doing things for ourselves that
we won’t rely on Him or anyone else to live it for us. He gave Himself up for
this … we should do our best to allow Him to live His life in us.
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"There
is no way that you could live the life that I have chosen for you in your own
strength. You need My help in all that you do. You cannot live the life that My
Son lived without My help. Too many people have tried and failed. Do not try to
do it in your own strength and willpower. You must have My help in order to
achieve all that I desire for you. My Son in you will provide the way. He has
succeeded in living the life that I desire for all My children, and He will do
the same in you. If you let Him, He will provide the way to be what I desire
for all My children.”
45. I am crucified
with Christ and therefore dead. I will live the Christian life by having faith
in Him to live it through me. I will succeed, because Christ cannot fail.
