In this deeply practical and spiritually challenging teaching on Galatians chapter 6, Gene Edwards explores what true Christian community looks like when believers live by grace instead of law.
Paul’s closing words to the Galatian believers move beyond theology into everyday church life. This message examines what it means to “bear one another’s burdens,” restore believers gently, and walk together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Rather than presenting Christianity as performance or religious perfection, this teaching reveals the reality of weakness, compassion, healing, and grace within the body of Christ.
The video explores themes such as:
Throughout the message, Gene speaks candidly about the struggles believers face in real community life. He challenges shallow spirituality and calls the church to become a place where people can receive genuine care, restoration, and support. The teaching emphasizes that Christian maturity is not self-righteousness, but humility, compassion, and a willingness to help carry the burdens of others.
One of the most powerful moments in the message centers on Galatians 2:20 and Paul’s declaration: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” This becomes the foundation for daily Christian living—not striving for a future spiritual experience, but recognizing that “right now, it is Christ who lives.”
If you are seeking a deeper understanding of Galatians 6, Christian community, grace-based living, or the practical reality of church life, this teaching offers honest insight and spiritual encouragement.
Whether you are involved in ministry, house church life, discipleship, or simply longing to know Christ more deeply, this message will challenge and encourage you to live in grace, humility, and love toward others.
Listen, I’m going to say a word. Train yourself to say, “Now, right now, it is Christ, not me.” I’m sitting here right now, and it is not me. Now it is Christ. Tomorrow you will be washing dishes. Now it is Christ. Tomorrow you will be changing dirty diapers. Now it is Christ that lives. Tomorrow you will be working as a carpenter. Everything around you is messy, but everything down here is over with. Now it is Christ. I don’t feel spiritual; I don’t feel God’s presence. Now it is Christ. Right now, it is Christ who lives in me. Right now, it is Christ. Right now, it is Christ…right now. It is Christ. Now it is Christ. Not tomorrow. Not some better day. Not some golden day. Now it is Christ. I’m going to go eat. I’m going to go drink. Now it is Christ. It is no longer me, but now it is Christ. Now, right now, it is Christ. I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I live, yet it is not I, but it is Christ living in me. The life I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God. Right now – it is Christ.
Will you do me this little goodbye favor? Will you repeat it with me? Now it is Christ. Now it is Christ. Right now. Right now, it is Christ who lives. We’re going to do it again. Right now, it is Christ who lives. No skyrockets, no great glorious thing, no enormous spiritual encounter, no mountaintop experience, no great forgiveness of sin, no new release into a new world, but it is now, and the past is all over with. And right now, it is Christ that lives in me. Repeat it. Right now, it is Christ who lives in me. You’ll never get any further than that. You’ll never get a word better than that. Go live on it. When you come to the scripture, be there when you pray. Be there when you’re with your husband. Be there when you’re with your wife. Be there in a crisis. In dry times, in high times, in low times now. It is not I, but Christ who lives right in this mundane moment.
