“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” Gal. 2.20
Paul was confronted with fellow believers about Justification of Grace.
Self-desires are the basic element of sin, this must be crucified with Christ by completely surrendering our own self to the perfect will of GOD.
The focus of Christianity is not only crucifying our sinful nature with Christ but also living by Faith. We need to sanctify us, by the Spirit and by FAITH to live in Christ.
Gracious Father: We cannot overcome our inherited sinful nature and live by faith on our own. Let your “grace upon grace” work in us to justify us and sanctify us in our daily Christian life. Amen!
Have a Blessed Day!
