Scripture of the Day
Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
“What A Life”
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.
----------------------------------------------------
How many of us can truly say “I have been crucified with CHRIST and I no longer live for myself, but CHRIST now lives in me” When we no longer live in the flesh (do our best), we begin to act different! We begin to talk and think different! I for one can say that it is a better way of living! In fact, it is the only Way of living!
Now we don’t have the choice to just dump the body we have and give ourselves a human make-over, but the life we live in this body, can be lived by the faith of the SON of GOD who is in us by the Holy Spirit! The world expects you to achieve a certain physical look to be called wonderful! But living in the faith of JESUS, we are fearfully and wonderfully made! Live a life for GOD! Live a life for CHRIST who loved us more than enough to give HIS very life for you!
Rejoice In The Life HE Gives!

Another great SOD:
I often read the books of Galatians and Ephesians, as these two books focus a lot on teaching us to live out God's will in our lives, and these two books helps us to understand who we are in Christ doctrinally (we need to understand what we believe doctrinally, and how to apply it in practical living)...too many of us forsake a better understanding of our doctrinal beliefs and therefore, are too often led astray by false teachings and erroneous traditions.
Galatians...speaks a lot about the battle between the Spirit and the flesh....Galatians tells us that our flesh has been crucified with Christ and, as a consequence, the Spirit will bear His fruit in the life of the believer...such as love, joy, and peace.
Galatians is all about us understanding the GOOD NEWS GOSPEL is solely based on the power of "LOVE" because without "LOVE" it is impossible to become a "New Creature." Furthermore, it clearly outlines the differences on trying to live by the Law vs. by love (in the Spirit of God). The righteous shall live by FAITH; and as you so clearly stated below, "it is the only Way of living!"
"What a life" indeed!
Bless you my brother,
