Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me… 1. It is a singular way of living. 2. It is a substantial way of living; to live in faith is to live indeed. 3. It is a noble way of living. 4. It is a most sweet and comfortable way of living; joy and peace come in by believing. 5. It is a safe way of living; like a bird while he is in the air is safe from snares.Use 1. To those that are yet strangers to this way of living by faith, pray to God to bring you acquainted with it. Many do live by sense, walking after their own hearts' lusts. 2. To those that, acquainted with it, abound in it more and more. It is but a little while that we are to live by faith, then we come to vision and fruition, then we shall see Him in whom we have believed; faith and prayer shall be no more, and God shall be all in all to eternity. (Philip Henry.) 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. |
