2 Kings 1:1-18; Jeremiah 34:1-22; Hebrews 5:11-6:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. Galatians 2:20
Peter urges that, as newborn babies crave milk from their mother, we should crave the pure milk of the Word of God that we might grow into a full experience of salvation (1 Pet. 2:2). He further says that we must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 3:18). These are both essential, but perhaps most vital is what Paul says here, that we grow to understand that the true Christian life must be the very life of Christ lived in and through us. —Ray Jones
Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord, O, to be lost in Thee,
Oh, that it may be no more I, but Christ that lives in me. —Ada Whiddington
