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

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
