You can’t live the Christian life. It can’t be done. If a life is to be changed and lived in the newness of God’s power, it must be lived through the Christian by the Lord Himself.
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.
The genuine, consecrated life is one that longs for the power of Christ to be in control of every aspect of life.
The consecrated life is one that has ceased to live for self. In fact, it has died to self, it’s lusts and it’s attractions.
It is dead to the world, but it is alive to God, His word and His will. All it wants is what God wants.
