It Is no Longer I Who Live, but It Is Christ Who Lives in Me

Let's Pray:

Lord, we need You to deliver us from trusting in ourselves. We do not like to have any trust in ourselves. We are fearful of this.

Hymn: 475

Today's Verses and Footnotes: Gal. 2:14-21

Key Verse:

Gal. 2:20a I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me;

Filling the Blanks:

In Gal. 2:20 No longer I does not indicate an ( ) life, a life in which Christ comes in and we go out. " As regenerated people, we have both the old "I," which has been ( ) (Rom. 6:6), and a new "I," concerning which Paul said, " ( )live." The old "I" was resurrected and ( ) was added to it. On the one hand, Paul had been ( ) , but on the other hand, a resurrected Paul, one who was regenerated with God as his ( ) , still lived. Furthermore, although Paul said, "No longer I," he also said, "It is Christ who lives in me," for it was ( ) who lived, but it was in ( ) that He lived. The two, Christ and Paul, had one ( ) and one ( ) .(See Gal. 2:20 note 2)
