My Life As A Christian

My Life As a Christian

Galatians 2:20

Intro.

Living for the Lord means that we die to ourselves

and live for Him.

The phrase sounds contradictory

I’m crucified, yet I live.

When we get saved, we give die to ourselves.

“Crucified with Christ”

Ye, when Jesus rose from the dead, He gave us new life - eternal life.

Now, he lives in me through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

This is what we mean when we say “Ask Jesus into your heart”.

Your live is no longer about you, but about Him.

Not looking to please ourselves, but about pleasing and glorifying the Lord.

Therefore my Christian life should reflect four things.

even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Heb. 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things

as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
