Today’s Scripture: Galatians 2:20 ESV: 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.
What does living by faith 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 the death of my previous life, 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

Tom, this scripture and post made me aware of “this is Christ living in ME”. It gives more meaning to the question “what would Jesus do?” when making decisions. Thank you as always.
