Text: Galatians 2:20
INTRODUCTION:
· Illustration:
o “Belief vs. Discipleship” (KMB 113)
To believe costs nothing; to follow Christ is expensive.
I believe in Christ’s work for me, but discipleship is the result of His work in me.
Believers consider themselves first; disciples consider Christ first.
Believers (only) produce no perfect fruit, but disciples are known by their fruit.
Belief saves my soul, but discipleship glorifies Christ.
Believers (only) are not necessarily known as Christians, but disciples are known as Christians.
Believers go to heaven; disciples are richly rewarded there.

· Jesus’ death should have a practical impact on your life and mine.
In this passage, we see the needed impact.
We are to lead a “crucified life”.
I. CHRIST LIVING THROUGH YOU (VS.
20 A).
“My old self has been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”
A. This begins with a crucified will.
1.
The will must be sacrificed daily.
(1 Corinthians 15:31)
a) You must die to self -will, that Christ might live through you.
b) You must seek his will continually.
(1) Through the clear teachings of Scripture.
(a) Examples:
(i) Witnessing (Acts 1:8)
(ii) Praying (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
(iii) Studying (2 Timothy 2:15)
(iv) Stewardship (Mal.
3:10)
(v) Worship (Hebrews 10:25)
(vi) Love (John 15:12)
(2) Through common principles taught in Scripture.
(2 Corinthians 5:14-18)
(a) Examples:
(i) Associations
(ii) Entertainment
(iii) Hobbies
(3) Through the conviction and leadership of the Holy Spirit.
(a) Convicting of sin in your life.
(John 16:8)
(b) Calling you to service
(Acts 9:1-20)
(Acts 13:2)
c) God is to be our pilot, not our co-pilot!
2. The will must be sacrificed completely.
(Romans 12:1-2)
a) Die to the world.
b) Die to your own will.
(1) Even in regard to good things.
(Acts 16:6-10)
B. This continues as we walk in Christ’s will.
(Galatians 2:20b)
Galatians 2:20b (NLT)
20 My old self has been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
1. Letting Christ live through you is key.
a) Christ lives in you.
(1) He entered at the point you trusted in Him.
(John 14:16-17)
(Ephesians 1:13-14)
(2) At this moment He is still there.
(Hebrews 13:5)
b) Christ lives through you as you allow Him to.
(John 12:32)
(1) Hymn: “Let Others See Jesus In You”
1, While passing thro' this world of sin,
and others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within;
Let others see Jesus in you.
2. Your life's a book before their eyes,
They're reading it thro' and thro'
Say, does it point them to the skis,
Do others see Jesus in you.
3. Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave and true,
and lead the lost to life and Christ.
Let others see Jesus in you.
Refrain:
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you.
Keep telling the story,
be faithful and true;
Let others see Jesus in you.
(2) The Primary objective is to allow Him to fill you and live fully through you.
(a) Illustration: What God Claims” (KMB 113)
“What God claims, I yield;
What I yield, He accepts;
What He accepts, He fills;
What He fills, He uses;
What He uses, He blesses.”
—Moody Monthly

This life begins by faith.
(Ephesians 2:8)
