“The Life of Christ” “耶稣的一生” Colossians 1:27 To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Galatians 2:20 I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

Principle 原则 1. Jesus gave Himself for us in order that He might give Himself to us! 2. Only one person has ever lived the Christian life； JESUS！

The exchanged life: “Not I but Christ….” 生命的互换: “不是我而是耶稣……” Christian “Reincarnation” 1.) Philippians 1:21 For to me life is Christ and death is profit. 2.) Romans 12:1-2 For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.] And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God. 3.) 2 Corinthians 4:10-12 In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies. For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death. So then death worked in us, but life in you. So then, death is working in us, but life in you.

The Executed Life “I am crucified with Christ” 生命的呈现：“我已于耶稣同钉十字架” The cross….Paul’s Discovery 1.) Romans 7:24-25 How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death? I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin. 2.)Romans 6:6; 11; 13 6，Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin. 11 Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus. 13 And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God. a. know 知道 b. reckon 估计 c. yield 产出

The empowered life… “The life I now live…” 授权后的生命… “我现在活着的…” God has not made it impossible for you to sin, but He has made it possible for you not to sin! 1.) Philippians 4:13 2.) Acts 1:8 3.)Colossians 1:27 4.) 1Corinthians 6:19-20 a. Aware of the savior’s Punchers of you. 察觉 b. Awaken to the sprit’s presence in you. 惊醒 c. Available for the Father’s Purposes through you.

Conclusion For me to live is Christ!

Salvation is not getting man out of earth into heaven but rather, getting God out of Heaven into Man!

What did Jesus mean when He said the HOLY SPRIT would live in Believers? 当主耶稣说：圣灵要住在信徒里面，是什么意思？ Bethlehem is God “With us” 伯利恒----------神与我们同在。 Calvary is God “For us” 骷髅地-----------神为我们牺牲 Pentecost is God “In us” 五旬节-----------神住我们里面

1 John 5:11-13 And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life. I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.
