This week we come to one of the most wonderful verses in the entire letter to the Galatians, in which we celebrate the glorious truth that Jesus Christ lives within all who have put their faith in Him. We are transformed, our past no longer defines who we are, rather we are defined by the presence of our Living Savior in us!
