April 5th - The Cross and Our Identity

April 5: The Cross and Our Identity

Scripture: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” —Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)Reflection: The cross not only forgives us—it transforms us. Our old life, marked by sin and self, is crucified with Christ. We now live a new life, defined by His presence within us. The cross changes who we are at the core: beloved, redeemed, and alive in Christ.Prayer: Jesus, thank You for giving me new life through Your death. Help me live each day aware that I belong to You. Let my identity be shaped by the cross, not by the world. Amen.
