1 Chronicles 7:1-40; Ezekiel 10:1-22; John 2:23-3:21
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. Galatians 2:20 NKJV
God considers the believer to have died with Christ and to have been raised with Him on the third day. Christ now lives His life in us. Therefore, He desires us to manifest His life as a witness to the lost and an encouragement to believers. Our manner of life must be one of faith, yoked to and learning of Him (Matt. 11:29). His sacrificial love motivates our worship and service. Not I, but Christ! —George Ferrier
Not I, but Christ, in every look and action;
Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word. —A. B. Simpson& Ada A. Whiddington
