#1. Boasting in the cross only happens when you are on the cross. This means pratically in my life right now, that I need to look at the world with the cross in mind. If I look at the world with the cross in mind, my whole view point on my life would change. To boast in the cross, we need to sacrifice ourselves, put ourselves on the cross. Until we do that, the only thing we will be boasting in is OURSELVES.
#2. I died, and yet I live. Some people read this and have no idea what it means. It is confusing. But I think it means that when we accept Christ into our heart, we are dying to ourselves. We now are dead to ourselves, but in return we become alive through Christ. He is in us. And since He is in us, we are now alive. Some key words that I think help differentiate the "I's" are in bold. "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me."
-Galatians 2:20
#3. Living by faith is really hard for me. I want to trust God, but I find myself worrying. I have faith that God will fulfill every one of His promises. I trust that He will do what He says. I do not live by faith in ALOT of things: school, health, and many others. I really would like to change and have faith in EVERY part of my life.
