Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Christ is our life, So Let Him Live
[ Jesus Is the Light of the World] Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness but will have the Light of life.”
so that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish during a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness],
Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
The New Birth
The born-again experience is a spiritual birth an awakening to the genuine real you. Your earthly vessel is just a shell, tent or vessel as a car waiting for the driver or one to control every moment. (Total Control of Our Lives).
Christ is the permanent residing resident whom has taken control of all actions and directions within our lives daily. He speaks of a lamp lighted up to the entire world that happens to be within us. We become the vessel or type of candle stick and Christ will be the wick within that becomes the light shining in the darkness.
Christ desires to shine his light from through us that we will allow him to see and touch the world in many ways so in doing so he will bring exaltation and praise to God our Father.
Christ seeks a total surrender of a person, so he can not just live within us but live his life through us.
Christ The Living Word Lives
Many folks have this thinking that we are all just Christians reading the bible going to worship services and paying our tithes dues to the local church. Its an on going routine or ritual may I where you practically do the same thing over and over every week.
This pace is a repeated over and over until one just gives up and declares surrender. When a confessing Christian comes to the end of their road of despair tiring out from their on-going work. A true believer when eventually realize we can’t live the believer’s life or Christian how ever you may look at it.
The true Christian-Believers life is not your life at all, for the scriptures read you have already been crucified with Christ. So, you no longer live at all, but Christ has taken full control of your lives not to be a person of prison but assisting the one whom gives eternal life and continues to reach out to the world offering bringing the light of life to all people.
If one is truly crucified as with Christ was then he does not exist any longer dead to sin but fully arrive with Christ in his life. If a person is deceased, he does not exist in this world but is hidden in Christ. It’s no longer you are living but only Christ is living in and through you.
Total Dependency on The Living Christ Man
The Christian life is not a performance but a life of surrender to the one whom gives us life eternally. We need to bring total dependency to him and always him alone. He wants us to understand him living not just within but living though us daily.
Every step is he taking it every breath we take is he breathing it and every heart beat is his to beat. When you arise in the morning hours look within the mirror and take hold that he is ready to step out that door and live and reaching us in the darkness, so they will experience the light within the darkness.
Matthew 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
