Today’s Scripture: I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 ESV
How does I God define living by faith? What does it look like, feel like, taste like? If I am living by faith in the Son of God it will be evident and different than before my crucifixion, right?
Today is a new day and we can choose to live by faith. Will we live in our power or will we live in the power of faith in the Son of God? The first step is dying with Him and giving ourselves up.
Galatians 1:4 says Jesus came to give Himself up for us; to deliver us from the PRESENT evil age. Not only did He die and rise again to offer us eternal life but our present life.
The life we live NOW in the flesh, we can live by faith in Jesus Christ. The same God, the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead will raise us and live with us now.
Will you live by faith?
Today’s Prayer: Our Father who art in Heaven, thank You for Jesus. Thank You for His life, His death, resurrection and example. LORD, please teach me how to live by faith in Your Son. I pray to live there today. Thank You Jesus for loving me and giving yourself up for me. Amen

For me, right now living by faith means keeping my eyes on Him and not on people–doing what I believe He’s called me to do, pleasing Him ahead of people. Thanks, Tom.
Thank you Julie! Great point. Trusting in His vision and not the vision of the world and others. His. Blessings as you keep your eyes on Him!
Praying with you, Tom, to live by faith in Him today. I loved how you put this, that today is a new day and we can choose to live by faith,( no matter what happened yesterday.) Thank you and God bless you!
Deb, I LOVE praying with you, thank you! His promises are new each day and I pray we live in them.
Blessings and faith!
Amen Tom. Eternal life began the moment I was born again. I am not waiting to die to receive this gift. I am learning for the first time how to truly live.
Interesting that my affirmation for today was almost I live because Jesus lives…another day:) Blessing as you live!
