Christ Lives in Me

Sibi George: ABS week 2, day 7

Studying this week Ephesians 2: 11-18. Through the cross, the wall is broken, through Christ and the Spirit, I the gentile have access to God. Even though I have known this and believed this, I like the way it is explained that the Law which is my enemy now makes me a new man in Christ because of Christ. Verse 15: By abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace. The law which is my enemy now makes me a new man. Because of Christ whose death on the cross makes the two into one new man. Our flesh and the Law is at war and are enemies. But in Christ the enmity is broken. And since Christ lives in us, our flesh and the law are at peace. And the resurrection power of Christ lives in us, giving us victory over sin and death, transforming us to die daily and Christ to live in us. So Christ has come not to make SIBI to become perfect but to put death to SIBI and cause Christ to live INSTEAD. So we pray in Jesus name, we are clothed in His righteousness, the Holy Spirit reveals Christ in us, the Hope of Glory. So Paul boldly declares ‘It is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me’. John 12:24 says truly, truly I say to you unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone but if it dies it bears much fruit.
