Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 3नमूना

Two things that stand out in Galatians 2 and specifically verse 20 are:
1. At the beginning of Galatians 2, we are aware of the calling God placed on Paul’s life towards the Galatians, to speak up and stand firm in his identity in Christ and not get tossed to and fro by the opinions/ suggestions or cultures of those that do not fully understand the heart of Christ. We see how Paul challenges Peter and the way in which he lives contrary to the Gospel.

2. When we stand firm and take up this new identity in Christ, we are commissioned and empowered to live a life of a new culture. Our reference is no longer the old way of life but Christ living in me. With this new understanding, we are able to live a life that creates a Christ-like culture around us, where we can be an example of His love towards humanity.

Can I challenge you today to consider these two questions:
1. What implications does this union with Christ have on my daily life?
2. How does my life reflect this new culture of Christ’s love towards the world around me?
