it is no longer I but Christ who lives in me

For I through law have died to law that I might live to God. Gal. 2:19 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a fellow partaker of the root of fatness of the olive tree. Rom. 11:17 I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:5

We through law have died to law so that we may live to God in the organic union with Christ. Hallelujah, we have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us.

Amen, Lord Jesus, may we see this basic fact in God’s economy. May we abide in You today so that we may live one spirit with You, living and walking in newness of life!

The law requires me, a sinner, to die, and according to that requirement, Christ died for me and with me. Hence, through law we have died in Christ and with Christ. Therefore, the obligation under the law, the relationship to the law, has been terminated. To live to God means to be obligated to God in the divine life. In Christ’s death our relationship with the law has been terminated; in His resurrection we are responsible to God in the resurrection life. We have become dead to the law so that we may live to God. As long as we still hold to any kind of law, whether the Mosaic law or our self-made law, we cannot live to God. However, when we are cut off from the law by means of the organic union with Christ, we spontaneously live to God. To be dead to law means that we have been discharged from the law in which we were held. Romans 7:6 says, “Now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held.” Having been liberated from obligation to the law, we may now walk in newness of life (6:4). However, walking in newness of life depends upon the cutting we experience in the organic union with Christ. The more we experience the cutting, the more we live to God and walk in newness of life.
