Conclusion.
1. The Christian life is not a life of imitation.
2. It is a life of impartation—Christ’s life in you.
3. What the law was powerless to do, God did by sending his Son as the payment
for our lawbreaking. Then he gave life to us lawbreakers.
4. At the cross, the power of sin was broken. We have been set free: “For we have
died and Jesus is alive in us.”
5. Desire to live his life through us as we keep in step with his Spirit in us.
6. You may think this is all hocus-pocus, mystic nonsense. I understand that. You have your own explanation as to why you can’t do what you should do. You have a good solution.
7. But people come to faith through brokenness, at places of desperation where
they cry out, “God, I can’t do this anymore. I can’t handle this anymore.”
8. If you ever get to that place, no one is going to say, “I told you so,” because we’ve
all been there—even the guy who wrote this.
9. Every day I say, “Lord, I can’t. You can through me. “
10. Then you will be free.
