Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me… I. Christ dwelling by faith in the heart becomes the principle of a new life. II. From this life, as an inexhaustible fountain, the believer draws to the supply of his wants and fruitfulness in well doing. III. What properly distinguishes the believer's life in the flesh and makes it what it is, is its being kept in perpetual fellowship with Christ. IV. The recognition of the truth that as dying and atoning Jesus becomes a source of new life runs out into appropriating confidence. (Principal Fairbairn.) Parallel Verses KJV: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. |
