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 for me.
Galatians 2:20, ESV
We war against our sinful desires, but our lives have been redeemed by Christ who dwells within us and fights for by His Holy Spirit.
Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
1 Peter 4:16, ESV
Following Christ will lead to other people mistreating, mocking, or doing worse to us. We remember that this is how they treated Jesus our Lord, so we thank God that we are joined with Him in His plan of redemption of this world.
Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3, ESV
More than asking Him to bless our plans, committing our work to God is agreeing with what He has planned for us in this life.
