Living by Faith in Everyday Life

Takeaway: Faith means letting Christ guide our lives every day.

Context

This verse is from Paul's letter to the Galatians. Paul wrote this to remind them of the freedom and new life they have in Christ. He wanted them to understand how faith changes everything.

Meaning

When Paul talks about being crucified with Christ, he means that our old selves, with all our mistakes and struggles, are gone. We start fresh when we believe in Jesus. It’s like hitting a reset button. Christ now lives in us. This doesn’t mean we stop being ourselves. Instead, it means Christ influences who we are and how we act.

Living by faith means trusting in Jesus every day. It’s not just a one-time decision. It’s a journey. We lean on Him for strength, especially when life gets tough. Faith is about believing that God loves us and has a plan for us. It helps us face challenges with hope. When we live this way, we can reflect Christ’s love to others.

Live It

• Take a moment today to write down three things you are grateful for.
• When you feel overwhelmed, pause and say a quick prayer asking for guidance.
• Reach out to someone who needs encouragement and share how your faith helps you.

Reflect & Pray

Reflect: How can I let Christ’s presence guide my decisions this week? What does living by faith look like for me today?
Pray: Lord, help me to trust You more. I want to live by faith and let You lead my life. Thank You for loving me and giving Yourself for me.
