"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me"- Galatians 2:20 (NIV).
"[A}nd the two will become one flesh. 'So they are no longer two, but one flesh'" (Mark 10:8). Have you heard there is scientific proof that the longer you're married to your spouse the more you resemble each other? The two becoming one flesh is true. That might explain why your Aunt Edna and Uncle Jasper, after 55 years of marriage, are indistinguishable in dim lights. This is applicable Biblically. As Christians, the longer we are exposed to Christ Jesus, the more we will resemble Him, because we are His church; therefore, His bride. Christ lives within us. Our friends and acquaintances should see us acting, looking, more like Jesus as years goes by. A true intimate relationship with Jesus will forever change you: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17). By the time God is finished with each of us, we will be able to look into the mirror and see His Son looking back at us.
