EMBRACE YOUR NEW LIFE

“Galatians 2:20 – I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Our opening text today reminds us that when we accept Christ into our lives, we are united with Him in His death and also in resurrection. Our old self, with its burdens, sins, and limitations, is crucified with Him. Glory to God!

However, the story doesn’t end there. It goes further to say that the life which we now live as believers is one which we live by faith in Christ Jesus. This means that we are no more defined by our past mistakes, failures, or insecurities. Instead, we are infused with His love, grace, and power to live a new life that embodies His character.

Therefore, embrace the possibility of a new you today. Let the revelation of Christ’s finished work on the Cross liberate you from the shackles of your past as you renew your mind with the Word. This is where your transformation begins.
