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.
This seems like a paradox, but believers are dead to sin, but alive in Jesus, not just alive until our bodies cease to live, but alive forever!
Just as we share His death, we also share His life.
Eternal life begins the instant you received Jesus as your Savior, [John 10:10; John 10:28].
My Savior’s Love
_____________________________
I stand amazed in the presence — Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me, — A sinner, condemned, unclean.
CHORUS:
How marvelous! How wonderful! — And my song shall ever be: — How marvelous! How wonderful! — Is my Savior’s love for me!
For me it was in the garden — He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine.” — He had no tears for His own griefs, — But sweat drops of blood for mine.
He took my sins and my sorrows, — He made them His very own; — He bore the burden to Calv’ry, — And suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory — His face I at last shall see, — ’Twill be my joy through the ages — To sing of His love for me.
Charles H. Gabriel 1905
