No Longer I, but Christ
Bible Verses
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Words of Ministry
We know that the overcoming life is Christ, and we know that the overcoming life is Christ living in us. The question is how can we enter into the experience of this life. Christ wants to be our life and He can make us victorious. But how can Christ be our life? We need to look at Galatians 2:20.
There is a wonderful expression in this verse: “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” We can say that it is no longer I but Christ. What does “no longer I ... but ... Christ” mean? These five words mean victory. The overcoming life is simply (1) “no longer I” and (2) “but...Christ.” This is the overcoming life. As long as it is “no longer I” and as long as it is “but...Christ,” there is victory. “No longer I” plus “but...Christ” is victory, and all problems are solved.
