CRUCIFIED
I “am crucified” with Christ, nevertheless, I live. Someone may be thinking, what do you mean by being “crucified,” yet you live. Well, I am sure if you do not know what the Word of God says in Galatians 2:20, you are thinking, she must be ill. No, I am not ill, but I do want to share something with you, just in case you do not know already. The Holy Scriptures teaches us BELIEVERS to live a crucified life, and that means live dead to sin and all its wicked ways each day of our lives, because Scripture teaches, those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and Redeemer, want to follow Him, as He says in Luke 9:23. A crucified life entails living a life dead to the world’s ways and dying daily to your selfish ways and desires.
When Jesus died on the Cross, we died with Him; when buried, you were buried with Him; when He rose, you rose with Him, and are seated with Him. This is a spiritual transformation[Romans 6:4-5]. Now, you may be thinking, now I know she is ill. No, what this means is, all who have accepted Jesus to be their Savior is dead to sin, because He paid a price you could not pay. Your sins and the sins of the whole world, whether all men accept Jesus or not, their sins are paid for but, THEY WILL NOT REAP THE BENEFIT OF JESUS’ DEATH ON THE CROSS, UNLESS THEY ACCEPT THE PRICE HE PAID FOR THEIR SINS.” “HE PAID A PRICE HE DID NOT OWE.” EVERYONE MUST PERSONALLY ASK JESUS TO COME AND LIVE IN YOUR HEART. He will come in and take up residence forever, but you do have a responsibility, and that is to obey His teachings. You see, when Jesus comes to live in your heart, He deposits His attributes, nature, the fruit of the Spirit [Galatians 5:22]. Now, you have a love for the things of God that will never fail. Your whole desire is to live for the Lord and please Him in all your ways. HALLELUJAH!
In order to understand with clarity what death, burial, resurrection, and baptism means, you must SEEK HIM for understanding. He might tell you to sit under a teacher, someone He has given understanding. God loves you, and gave His only Son to bear your sins. [John 3:16]
