I'm not quite sure when this became my favorite verse, but after years of wavering between 1 John 4:18 and Philippians 4:6, this little piece of Galatians has turned into my comfort and my hope.
Oftentimes, we think God is a faraway God, out of touch and out of reach. He's not. He's here. When we are in Christ, Christ also comes to live in us. His Holy Spirit now dwells inside of me and anyone else who has accepted the eternal gift of salvation and new life.
The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in me — speaking and moving through my body. This isn't my life to live anymore. By faith, I surrendered to this Savior, giving Him full permission to take control. And in order to allow Christ to work through me, I need to choose Him in all situations. This is what Paul is saying, and the message is crucial for contentment.
Galatians 2:20 makes the Resurrection relevant for today, for tomorrow, for the rest of our lives.
