When Christ Lives in You

“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.” – Galatians 2:20 

 

Do you want to know what will really change your life? Well, let me tell you: your life will change when you decide to let Christ become King inside of you. When Christ takes residence in our hearts… we will experience His love in a way that we couldn’t otherwise, and that experience will change our lives. 

When Christ lives in you…you look at serving differently. 

When Christ lives in you…you look at giving differently. 

When Christ lives in you…you’ll be motivated to share your faith, disciple your kids, and prioritize the things of God over the things of this world. 

When Christ lives in you, your life changes. Galatians 2:20 says, “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.” 

So let’s look at each of these things… 

When Christ lives in you, you will see serving differently. Instead of expecting others to serve you, you will look to serve others. You know that Jesus served, and because you want to be like Jesus, serving doesn’t become a chore, but a blessing. 

You will look at giving differently. You will realize that everything you have came from Him. You are simply a steward of what He has given you, and if He wants a percentage back, you will gladly do so, because you trust Him and want to obey Him. 

You will also be motivated to share the life-changing love of Christ. Have you ever gotten something and thought it was so great you just had to share it with others? That is exactly what you will do with Christ when you let Him take control of your life. When you see how great life is with God at the reigns, you will want everyone you love to experience what you are experiencing. 

When Christ lives in you and leads your life, it is life-changing. Is God leading your life? Or are you? The answer could determine how amazing your life is and can be!
