No Longer I but Christ - Results

"I have been crucified with Christ; 
it is no longer I who live, 
but Christ lives in me; 
and the life which I now live in the flesh
 I live by faith in the Son of God, 
who loved me 
and gave Himself for me."
 Gal. 2:20


Paul, by the grace of God, 

discovered the glorious experience awaiting any soul 

that gives itself in faith to Christ. 


That life could be


  • the steady radiance of a light rising, filling the commonest ways of earth with a gladness that was new every morning.
  • It would make men not less efficient for life, but more so.
  • It would vitalize them, not only morally and spiritually, but even physically and mentally.
  • It would give them a verve, a creativeness, an exhilaration, which no other experience in the world could impart.
  • It would key life up to new pitch of zest and gladness and power.
