“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Grace begins with a funeral: the old self was crucified with Christ, not coached into better behavior.
The center of gravity has moved. Self-effort steps down so the life of Christ can take the lead.
He is not a distant supervisor but an indwelling Savior. The Christian life is Christ living His life in yours.
Paul means this body, this schedule, this Monday. The indwelling Christ is for ordinary days, not only sacred ones.
Paul writes 'who loved me' — singular, personal. Faith rests on a love that knows your name and chose the cross.
Act: before breakfast, pray one sentence — 'Jesus, live this day in me' — and name the first task on your list as His.
