A LIFE IN CHANGE OF ANOTHER
Galatians Text 2:20
Gál. 2:20: "With Christ I am crucified together, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me; and what I now live in the flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
The Christian Life is one life in exchange for another. The life of Jesus for yours. The life of Jesus for mine. The life of Jesus for ours. The Bible affirms that when Christ takes possession of the life of the believer, all the fullness of God is available to that person (Eph 3:19).
When Christ is the one in control of your life, your life takes dimensions that you could never have experienced without Him; When you are weak, then Christ shows you that He is the strength of your life (II Cor 12: 9-10). When faced with situations that go beyond his comprehension, he only has to ask and the infinite wisdom of God is at his disposal (I Cor 1:24, 30, Sant 1: 5). When faced with situations that are humanly impossible, God does the impossible (Luke 18:27). When you meet people you find hard to love, God expresses unconditional love through you (I John 4: 7). When you do not know in what way you should pray for someone, the Spirit will guide you in your prayer life (Rom 8:16).

A good example of the glorious blessing of Christ living in you was the life of the apostle Paul, who declared at a difficult time that he was facing his life, as he was imprisoned in the prison of Rome, in Philippians 4: 11-13 " I do not say it because I have shortages, because I have learned to be content, whatever my situation may be. I know how to live humbly, and I know how to have abundance; In everything and for everything I am taught, both to be satiated and to be hungry, so that I may have plenty as well as to suffer need. I can do everything in Christ who strengthens me. "
Knowing that God controls your life and knowing what you can become is wonderfully liberating. Instead of worrying about what he will face, his biggest challenge is to continually leave every area of his life under God's control. The temptation will be to try to do for yourself, what only God can do. Our task is to "remain in the Vine" and allow God to do through us what only He can do (John 15: 5). Only God can be God. Allow Him to live "His Life" through you. He is the only one who can do it.

When we give our lives to the control and lordship of Christ, the risen Christ will manifest the power of his resurrection imparting his life through ours. There must be in us the abandonment of my right to myself in all its phases and conditions. Am I willing to give up control of my life totally in all areas to the Lordship of Christ? Am I willing to give control of everything I possess to the control of Christ, the control of all my affections, of my dreams and plans?
Jesus said that whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Him will find it. If you want Jesus to live and manifest his glorious life in you, I invite you to pray with faith and surrender and surrender your life to him, remember Jesus is alive and is at the right hand of the heavenly Father looking at the faith of his prayer and if you do it, the risen Christ will come to transform your life in a glorious and abundant way.
