The Apostle Paul tells us how we can be everything God wants us to be.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Believers are dead to sin, but alive in Jesus -- alive forever! Just as we share His death, we also share His life.
As we yield more of our lives to Jesus, He produces more of Himself through us, (Gal. 5:22-24). The fact that Jesus is within us is the only thing that makes the Christian life possible and productive for His glory!
As we hear the Word of God and take Him at His word by faith, our faith grows stronger and stronger. But, in reality, it isn’t our faith that grows stronger, it is His faith within us that increases as we grow! You see, faith comes from God.
