Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
“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.”

Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”

John 14:16-17, 20 (NIV)
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever – the Spirit of truth. … you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

Acts 2:36-39 (NIV)
“God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off – for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

Romans 8:11 (NIV)
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Philippians 2:12-13 (NIV)
… continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

Colossians 1:27, 29 (NIV)
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

Ephesians 3:16-17 (NIV)
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

“Christ Lives In Me” Means …

• My residence is under new ownership.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirt, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

• There’s a power at work beyond me, that is within me, in order to grow me in righteousness.

Galatians 2:21 (NIV)
“I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

• He can be seen through me.
