If you haven't considered this recently, you should stop and consider it now. Here's some fuel for today. Read through each of these in context, sit in this truth a bit, and see what happens to your perspective today:
- Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ..."
- Galatians 5:24 " Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
- Romans 6:6 " ..our old self was crucified with Him ..."
- Luke 9:23 "... if anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me."
- Phil. 2:5-8 "Have this attitude in yourselves... ... He humbled himself...to the point of death...on a cross."
- 1 Peter 2:21-24 "For you have been called for this purpose...we might die to sin and live to righteousness."
- 1 Corinthians 15:31 "...I die daily."
- Romans 8:36 "... we are being put to death all day long..."
We are united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It starts with our death, to ourselves, our agenda, our desires - daily. But it doesn't stop there. What follows is a burial of our sick, sinful self. It stays buried, as we are raised in Christ to go on to live a new life - a very full, spiritually alive life in Christ! But we must die to ourselves continually to live in Him constantly. Christ died once and for all for me, that I would commit myself to dieing to myself continually to allow his life to be actively living in me. If I'm to experience more of Christ in my life, I recognize that I personally will need to die to myself more than I do right now.
