Galatians 2:20
“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” ―Galatians 2:2020I 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. (Galatians 2:20).
CRUCIFIXION with Christ is judicial. When He died God saw the end of man in the flesh. All believers therefore can look back to the cross and say in faith, “it was there I died, in the Person of my Substitute.” Therefore I am no longer viewed as in Adam. I am now in Christ. In the power of this truth I am called to walk. I live in Him. He lives in me. My life here in the body is to be the manifestation of Christ in me. This is true experimentally as I reckon myself dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. It is not that I am to try to die to the old order. I have died, and I take that place in relation to everything that is of the flesh, mortifying the deeds of the body. Practically, I die daily, as earth-claims are refused. Thus I live unto God.
Now I will glory in the cross,
For this I count the world but dross.
There I with Christ was crucified,
His death is mine; with Him I died;
And while I live my song shall be,
No longer I, but Christ in me.
—H. A. I.
