"I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ 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
The middle phrase is the critical understanding that you must grasp out of this fabulous verse. The entire verse is beautiful and wonderful to understand, but the middle is crucial. "And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God...." Do you see it? Your present, daily reality is to model faith in Jesus Christ. This is not the "The life I live when I get to Heaven...". It does not say "The life I live when I get everything together". No, it is the Life I NOW live! Now, present! The life you live while reading this e-mail is to display Jesus. The life you live as you drive down the road is to demonstrate that Christ lives in you. The music you listen to, the words you speak, the attitude you carry, the places you go, the people you associate with....All these are part of your NOW life! April 28-May 1, 2019, at the Lakeway Area Go Tell Crusade, 700 people made either a first time profession in Christ or a re-dedication of faith in Christ. This is 700 people who said, "I need Jesus to impact and change my Now"! My guess, is that some of you need that also! Live Jesus everywhere you go. Not just at church, not just in the quietness of your home, not just when you are with Christian friends (and even that sometimes doesn't matter)! Instead, Live Jesus NOW!
