What Is The Reality of the Gospel? (Part 3)

The result of overcoming sin and the world manifests in a life that is described in our texts of today and represents the expected manner of a life lived in the reality of the gospel of Christ. Paul first described his life in this context to the Galatians, the churches that were abandoning the basis by which they were brought to the family of God. 

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one!  My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!Galatians 2:19-20 (TPT)

Paul goes on to admonish his protégé, Timothy, in the same fashion regarding a life lived in union with Christ the anointed one!

Timothy, my dear son, live your life empowered by God’s free-flowing grace, which is your true strength, found in the anointing of Jesus and your union with him!2 Timothy 2:1 (TPT)

Dear friend, this is the reality of the gospel of Christ by which we are required to live if we are to be found blameless in the day of His appearance. Are you there living in union with Him, powered by the free-flowing grace that He dispenses daily into you or are you filled with the free-flowing pollution that the world offers so copiously? Selah.
