I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
Recently in my morning devotions I came across something Andrew Murray wrote and I pass it on to you.
“Christ’s life was more than His teaching, more than His work, even more than His death. It was His life in the sight of God and man that gave value to what He said and did and suffered. It is this life that He gives to His people and enables them to live it out before men.
It was the life in the new brotherhood of the Holy Spirit that made both Jews and Greeks feel that there was some superhuman power about Christ’s disciples. They gave living proof of the truth that God’s love had come down and taken possession of them.
Everything depends upon the life with God in Christ being right. It is the simplicity and intensity of our life in Christ Jesus, and of His life in us, that sustains us in our daily walk. It makes us conquerors over self and everything that could hinder the Christ life. Through prayer, it gives us the victory over the powers of evil.
The life in Christ must be everything to us because Christ Himself lives in us. When Jesus spoke the words ‘and be sure of this: I am with you always’ (Matthew 28:20, He meant nothing less than this: ‘All day and every day, I am with you. I am the secret of your life, your joy and your strength.”
