Galatians 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.
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. We will not consider the beginning of this verse or the end of this verse. We will begin with the middle of the verse. 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. They speak of the overcoming life which we have been talking about for the past few days. 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.
