How is the power of Christ enabled in the life of a believer?

Galatians 2:20, “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.”

The purpose being:

Ephesians 3:16, “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.”

As such:

2 Timothy 1:7, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Psalm 73:26, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

How must we live so as to abide in Christ, no matter the circumstances of life?

Ephesians 6:11-12, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

Therefore:

Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

1 Corinthians 16:13, “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.”

André Gourd began sharing daily messages with his sons in 2019, which grew into daily scripture-based encouragements for all. Prompted by the Lord in 2020, he keeps each message short and to the point—never opinion, always pointing to God’s Word. Each ends with a one-sentence challenge to help readers stay focused on Christ. Find more at Christ at The Helm.
