“I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 CSB)”. This verse tells us that when we accept Jesus into our life we are justified through Christ and dead to the world. We become alive to God through Jesus. In this verse Paul is telling us that we come so close to Christ it’s like we die with Him. The Apostle Paul emphasizes that we are saved by faith alone and should not add deeds or rituals to the Gospel to be saved. Christ’s atonement on the cross was enough to satisfy the wrath of God that whoever believes in Jesus as their Lord is saved. Christ’s death paid 100% for our own personal sins. That sinful us dies in Christ and we are seen as spotless before God. All that is done through Christ who both died and rose from the dead, He has raised us to new life in Him. We should let our faith in Christ guide us not our sinful mind or flesh. Jesus’ motive for dying on the cross is love and that is why He died for us. Christ was deeply motivated by His concern and love for us. Amen
