thanks sir for that response.you are doing Christs work in helping us.
the scripture tells me that Jesus is at the right hand of god interceding for the saints.also Jesus tells peter that the devil had asked for permission to challenge your faith,but i have prayed for you.do we still live by this faith in relation to gal 2:20? is it of or in Christ.

Samuel, Faith of Christ is Christ’s faith and faith in Christ is our faith in Christ.

what is meant by faith in christ and faith of christ as KJV and Nkjv puts it.Eg in gal 2:16-20.= FAITH OF CHRIST,while else where uses faith in christ.

LadyCage, The primary point of this passage is the finished work of Christ on our behalf–that we hold to the status quo of co-crucified with Christ in the eyes of God. Because of that, we live for Him.

Hi,
This is a wonderful website and I thank God for you and the work you are doing here. Please help me to fully understand this verse and the main theme. Let me know if I am on the wright track, the scripture is saying to me that it is not about us but it is all about Jesus. We are to allow our flesh to die like Christ on the cross and submit our entire being to the will and purpose of God. Once we allow ourselves to die to our flesh and desires of this world, Christ will be our priority and we will have life in him. We are not to live according to traditions or laws of man but according to the word of God. We have liberty in God through Jesus and therefore we should subit and serve him not out of obligation or payment but out of gratitude and love.

Am I correct in my thinking?

To me – the verse is means – sold out – Totally – to Christ. And it is a freeing idea – that it is no longer me that drives my life – but – my Faith in the Son of God – who loved me and gave Himself for ME now drives it!

Many people feel that Christ/God is far away – that God does not take an interest in us – except maybe for gigantic occasions when He shows up – maybe! However – this verse says that He took the time to love me and care for me (or each of us personally!).

And since I am a long-time married woman, I understand what it is to sacrifice yourself for another human whom you truly care about! And when the verse says: He Gave himself for me – I reflect on the sweet moments that my husband has done thoughtful things for me and has cared for me – through the good and bad times we have had. This verse reflects that appreciation!

Jesus gave us the example of the church as a bride – And this verse exemplifies to me what a marriage vow is – to crucify your selfishness and sell yourself totally to that relationship and that person! What a freeing thing it is to totally surrender to Him! I appreciate His sacrifice for me (all of us) and I want to shout it out – As St. Paul did!

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Jash, thanks for your comment.

The point of this verse is that God provides for us in grace (God does the doing and providing). We do not have to earn or merit a relationship with God or to be in good standing with Him. We do not have to give money to be blessed by God because we HAVE His blessing. We do not serve Him to gain His favor because we have His favor. We serve God because He first loved us (2 Co 5:14). This is a life of liberty as Galatians 5:1 says. Jesus liberated us from a performance orientation to please God. We serve Him out of gratitude.
