Death and Life
Galatians 2:20-21
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me…


I. DEATH BY SIN.

1. Its guilt makes us liable to condemnation.

2. Its filth, which makes us odious.

3. Its punishment, which is death eternal.

II. THE TREE OF LIFE AFFORDS THE ANTIDOTE TO SIN.

1. The life of justification. The righteousness of Christ, cancelling the obligations of the law, frees us from the first.

2. The life of sanctification, which is Christ in us.

3. The life of joy and cheerfulness, which makes us more than conquerors.

(T. Adams.)
