What does 'crucified with Christ' mean in my daily life?

It means letting go of your old way of living—your pride, selfishness, and self-reliance—and choosing instead to follow Jesus's example of love and trust. You're not dying physically; you're dying to the life where you're the center and rising to a life where Christ leads.

How can I live by faith in the Son of God practically?

Faith in Christ means trusting His character and promises even when circumstances are hard. It's choosing to believe that He loves you, that His way is right, and that He's working for your good—then acting on that belief through obedience and love.

Doesn't this mean losing my personality or identity?

No—it's the opposite. When Christ lives through you, you become more fully yourself because you're finally living according to how you were designed. Your gifts, personality, and passions don't disappear; they're redirected toward purposes that matter eternally.

Living Through Him

Anchor

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God.”

— Galatians 2:20 (NIV)

What it means

Paul describes a profound spiritual transformation: when we surrender our lives to Christ through faith, we die to our old self-centered way of living. Yet this isn't the end—it's a new beginning where Christ's life flows through us. We continue living in our bodies, but now motivated by trust in Jesus rather than our own desires.

In your life

Today, you face choices between what you want and what honors Christ. This verse invites you to release control and let His character guide your decisions—at work, in relationships, in how you spend your time. When you feel overwhelmed or uncertain, remember that you're not carrying this alone; Christ's strength is working through your faith in Him.

Today's challenge

Die Daily, Live Fully

1Identify one area where you're holding tight to control—a relationship, a goal, or a fear—and consciously release it to Christ in prayer.
2Throughout today, notice one moment where Christ's love would respond differently than your natural instinct, and choose His way.
3End your day by thanking God that His life in you is stronger than your limitations.

Prayer

Lord, help me surrender myself fully so that Your life and love can flow through me today.

Reflect

What part of your life are you still trying to control instead of trusting to Christ?
