Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me… I. DEATH BY SIN. 1. Its guilt makes us liable to condemnation. 2. Its filth, which makes us odious. 3. Its punishment, which is death eternal. II. THE TREE OF LIFE AFFORDS THE ANTIDOTE TO SIN. 1. The life of justification. The righteousness of Christ, cancelling the obligations of the law, frees us from the first. 2. The life of sanctification, which is Christ in us. 3. The life of joy and cheerfulness, which makes us more than conquerors. (T. Adams.) 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. |
