The Bible says, “He was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God” (Mark 16:19). What is Jesus doing now? The answer should thrill us, because right now — at this very moment — He is praying for us. He knows all about our needs and heartaches; He also knows our temptations and doubts — and He is praying for us.

I would say, “Yes, yes, yes.” When I say to Christians, “Don’t waste your life,” this means, “Don’t waste Christ’s life.” That is that what I mean, so yes. I didn’t make the connection, so thank you. I didn’t make the connection with Galatians 2:20like you did, but that is exactly right. Let me read it so people are up to speed with what we’re talk...
I’ll stay in Galatians for a moment. We were at 2:20, but let’s go to Galatians 5:24: “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” What dies in union with Christ is old passions — old destructive, sinful, Christ-dishonoring desires. That’s how we show Christ now. We have new desires. His desires start t...
Another way Paul says it is that if we suffer for Christ, “[We are] always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies” (2 Corinthians 4:10). There it is, real clear: the life of Christ shining out, manifest in our suffering bodies. Still another way is to use the imagery of the aroma of C...
Another way he talks about it is in 2 Corinthians 3:18. This is how we actually look like Christ: “We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18). In other words, the more we see Christ cl...
Maybe one last question: How do we live out this new identity of “not I, but Christ in me”? Just two quick pointers. Galatians 2:20 says that we live it by faith: “The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God.” The life I now live I live by faith. The conscious appropriation of the new life is by trusting Christ. But then Roma...
Jan 4, 2022 · Not only is Jesus Christ alive today, but through God’s Holy Spirit—called the “Spirit of Christ” in Romans 8:9 —He lives and dwells within every child of God. The life of Christ in us is our hope of eternal glory.
- In Christ Jesus you were given grace before the world was created. Second Timothy 1:9, “He gave us grace in Christ Jesus before the ages began.”
- In Christ Jesus you were chosen by God before creation. Ephesians 1:4, “[God] chose us in [Christ] before the foundation of the world.”
- In Christ Jesus you are loved by God with an inseparable love. Romans 8:38–39, “I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
- In Christ Jesus you were redeemed and forgiven for all your sins. Ephesians 1:7, “In [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses.”
Aug 23, 2024 · Today we will look into verses that describe our relationship with Christ, our identity as believers, and the transformation that comes with being a follower of Jesus. We'll examine how the scriptures teach us about our value, purpose, and the new life.
Apr 16, 2024 · Upon dying to ourselves, we no longer live but Christ lives the new covenant resurrection life through us (Galatians 2:20). God works in and through us to do his pleasure ( Philippians 2:13 ). This doesn’t mean our passivity.
