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

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
