There Is Only One Life: Let Christ Live Through You

 

There Is Only One Life: Let Christ Live Through You

   “The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.”

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." – Galatians 2:20

   In Galatians 2:20, the apostle Paul shares a divine revelation. Our life is not our own.  He boldly proclaims that he was crucified with Christ-his ego, his old life, his personal ambitions were all nailed to the cross. Yet, he lives not as Paul alone, but as Christ living through him. This is the essence of the Christian journey, allowing Christ to live His life through us. Jesus is more than a teacher or prophet, he is our Way-shower revealing what it means to be both fully human and fully divine. He declared, “I AM the way, the truth, and the life.” He is the bread of life, the living water, and the resurrection. All of life finds its meaning and purpose in Him.

   Paul's understanding of life shifts from external achievements to divine purpose. Life isn’t about possessions, promotions, or praise. Life is Christ. There is only one true life and it is the life of God being expressed through us. You are not just a human being trying to reach heaven. You are the temple of the living God. You are where God resides, expresses, and manifests. Every stage, age, and phase of your life becomes a platform for divine expression. You are a unique, unrepeatable expression of God. It’s all God every moment, every experience, every breath. God is the only show in town, revealing Himself on every screen of your life. Through you, God is showing love, grace, joy, and peace to a hurting world. You are God's vessel, conduit, and ambassador.

                            

"Believer embracing God's presence at sunrise"

   God is Spirit, and He desires to move through physical bodies like yours. He asks, “Who will go for us?” And when you answer, “Here I am, send me,” you step into divine purpose. Your very existence becomes a sermon, a witness, a revelation of heaven on earth. You are living off the breath of God, the same breath He breathed into Adam. That is your life source. Let your thoughts, speech, actions, and attitudes reflect Him. Let God live His life through you. Say, “Yes, Lord.” Open your heart to the Holy Spirit. Offer no resistance. Let God get glory through your life. 

Let your face reflect His face. Let your presence radiate His presence. You are the gospel in motion. This gospel of the kingdom must be preached and it starts with lives fully surrendered to Christ. Let yours be one.

Overcoming Hypocrisy (Galatians 2:13)

   In contrast, Galatians 2:13 warns us of the danger of hypocrisy living double-minded, two-faced, and forked-tongued. As believers, we must reflect Christ with sincerity, not duplicity.

  • Mind: Double or Christ-centered?
  • Face: Two or one?
  • Tongue

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
