Commentary by Pastor Michael White:

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me…” (Gal 3:20). Did you know that when you give your life to Jesus Christ, you die along with Him? His work on the Cross covers all your sins. His death and punishment account for yours. Did you know that God trusts you to be His anointed representative on this earth? It is no longer you who live, but Christ lives in you! God so loved you that He gave His Only Son as a sacrifice for your sins. But it doesn’t stop there. He trusts you so much that He has chosen you as a vessel to carry His Holy Spirit. Your life, lived in partnership with God, is meant to be a testimony to His goodness and faithfulness. First He forgave you; and now He trusts you.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for trusting me! I don’t deserve Your trust, and I don’t deserve Your favor. But You have given it to me all the same!
