"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.
