Galatians 2:20

' I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer life but Christ live in me. The live I life in the body I live by fatih the Son of God who loves me and gave himself for me.'
Galatian 2:20
'I have been crucified with Christ and I longer live......'
What does it mean to be crucified with Christ? It means giving up my old self to gain a new life for Christ. It means obeying Christ absolutely in everything and to do everything He asks you to do.
Many times, Christ calls us to let go of things that are dear to us. It may be a habit that is so hart to break. It may be giving up some time in the morning to do QT. It could even be that non- Christian gf or bf.
Christ asks us to give up the broad highway of sin for the narrow, crooked way of eternal life. Then the question comes, why should i give up these things? I was happy with these things! When we made that decision to invite Christ into our hearts, we dies to our old self and allowed Christ to take control of our life.
We give up our old life because the Bible tells us to do so. We do it also because we love Jesus and want to follow all He has said. And then, at the end of the narrow crooked road, there is the everlasting gift of eternal life.....
