Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no
longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I
live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for
me.
One day, by a simple act of faith, I decided to take Jesus
Christ at His word. I could not come by way of the intellect alone; no one can.
That does not mean that we reject reason. God has given us minds and the
ability to reason wherever reason is appropriate, but the final and decisive
step is taken by faith. I came by faith. Does it work when a person comes,
repenting of his sins, to receive Christ by faith? I can only tell you
that it worked in my own life. Something did happen to me. I didn’t become
perfect, but the direction of my life was changed. I found a new dimension to
life. I found a new capacity to love that I had never known before.
Thought for today:
Have I received and experienced Christ in His fullness?
