Manner of Life
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1

2:20 I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
Today’s Reading
Christ Liveth in Me
But when Peter was come to
Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before
that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were
come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the
circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that
Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that
they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto
Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of
Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as
do the Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith
of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be
justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the
works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be
justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ
the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I
destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the
law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law,
then Christ is dead in vain. Galations 2:11-21
