Galations 2:20 - unpacked - The Chiastic Structure

"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"
Galations 2:20

The Chiastic Structure

• (A) Christ gave Himself because He loved me,
  • (B) and in the flesh I now live this life,
    • (C) yet it is no longer I who am alive,
      • (D) for I am crucified with Christ;
      • (D') instead, Christ is the one who lives within,
    • (C') completely replacing the old me,
  • (B') so that my present living is done,
• (A') solely through faith in the Son of God.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, 

but exhorting one another, 

and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:23-25

You can't, but the Lord can and will if you only realize this truth.

The author's testimony:

 “As a young evangelist, my love and enthusiasm for Christ as my Saviour kept me very, very busy until out of sheer frustration, I finally came to the point of quitting. 

That was the turning point which transformed my Christian life. In my despair I discovered that the Lord Jesus gave Himself FOR me, 

so that risen from the dead He might give Himself TO me, He who IS the Christian Life. Instead of pleading for help I began to thank Him for all that He wanted to be,

 sharing His Life with me every moment of every day. 

I learned to say 

“Lord Jesus, I can’t, You never said I could; but You can, and always said You would. 

That is all I need to know”. 

From that moment life became the adventure that God always intended it to be.”
