TO THE BIBLE:
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.”
LET’S TALK
In our opening verse of Scripture, Paul hints at the faith of the Son of God—the faith of Jesus Christ! Did you know that He had faith in you? The Bible tells us that for the joy, the glory, that was set before Him, He endured the Cross, despising the shame (Hebrews 12:2). You’re that joy and glory He saw for which He gave His life, not minding to be crucified like a criminal. He saw what you’d become by virtue of His vicarious death.
The Bible says God’s dream was to live inside man. He desired to have man as His living, walking temple! Think about that! In Proverbs 8:31, the Bible says the Spirit rejoiced in the habitable part of His earth; but His delights were with the sons of men. Jesus gave His life to realise God’s dream: His dream of us becoming the glory of God; His dream of us becoming the righteousness of God; His dream of us becoming associates of the God-kind. He gave His life so God’s plan for us to have and enjoy life to the full would be realised.
Now we live in righteousness, prosperity, health, dominion, victory and excellence forever because of the faith of Jesus Christ! He had faith in what He did. He had faith in you and trusted you with His life. He knew if you’d believe His Gospel, you’d become like Him, and now you’re like Him: “…As He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). Believe in what He did, who He is, and what He’s made you.
Believe in yourself. Live by His faith. Decide that you’re going to be everything He died and came back to life for you to become, achieve, and enjoy. Make up your mind your life will be for His glory and for His praise as you fulfil your destiny in Him.
GO DEEPER
2 Corinthians 5:15
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Colossians 3:3
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
SPEAK
I’m what God says I am. I’m an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ; I’m living God’s dream and enjoying the fullness of life. I walk in prosperity, health, strength and victory now and evermore, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
