Galatians 2:20 New King James Version
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Sermon Notes: THE CHRISTIAN DECLARATION
To adhere to THE CHRISTIAN DECLARATION
First, Make A Bold Declaration
When you repented of your sins and were buried with Christ in baptism and were raised to live a new life.
In doing this, you were making a bold declaration.
Understand that you were at that time proclaiming what Paul proclaimed in Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
Second, We must Pay A High Price
It’s one thing, to make a bold declaration in the comfort of a church building.
But it is quite another to live up to it. To pay the price.
The second part of Galatians 2:20 “and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God”
Third, We Reaped the Great Reward
Jesus won our freedom, and our independence...
That’s the Third part of Galatians 2:20 “Who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
The declaration is bold "Jesus is my Lord"
The price is high "Die to self"
But the reward is GREAT!
