Scripture: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
- Galatians 2:20
Observation: Context of salvation through grace alone, the law does not save us; Christ does.
Application: All that agony, that pain, that sorrow was for was for us. But we we're put to death that day as well, did we go through a literal crucification? Gosh no! He bore that for us, it was the punishment (and beyond) that we deserved. But we we're put to death that day. Our sin, our old lives, and the bonds of the enemy were crushed that day. Our old lives we're nailed to that Cross. We are dead, but made alive through Christ who rose again and now lives in us! Our old lives lead to death, but now that we have Christ we have Eternal life! How does this not excite you?
