A Christian Meditation on Christ’s Presence in Me and Love for Me from Galatians 2:20

<p>Today we’re going to meditate on what I think is one of the most important and inspiring and life-giving sentences in the entire Bible.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Galatians 2:20 (NIV)</strong></p><p>I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Tim Keller tweet — 2/22/22</strong></p><p>The things that have captured your imagination…are the things you serve.</p><p><br></p><p>This is always how your life works. Your mind is always imagining certain realities or unrealities – and that imagination is what drives your desires and your decisions and your life. This is why the advertising industry appeals to your imagination more than gives you information. This is how we were created — to be people with powerful imaginations that can actually see unseen realities and then create them or experience them. In Genesis 1, God first imagines and then makes it so. And he created us in his image to be the same way. But sin hijacks and captures our imagination. Your anxieties. Stress. Worries. Insecurities. Fears.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Christian meditation allows us to recalibrate our lives with the powerful images and imaginations of God's word given to us by his Holy Spirit. By learning to use our biblically guided imagination we can experience unseen realities and actually feel these realities in our bodies and in our lives in a way that shapes our desires and our decisions in powerful ways. Life-changing ways.</p><p><br></p><p>Let's let this verse capture your imagination so that you can bring God's transcendent presence and love and wonder into your life and explode your life.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Galatians 2:20 (NIV)</strong></p><p>I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
