CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST
To be crucified is to be killed and punished by fastening one to a wooden cross. It also mean to be critized or punish somebody severely. Christ was crucified just for us all to be saved. He dropped all he could, just to come to the world in form of man to die for our sins. For GOD so loved the world, that he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, will not perish, but have everlasting life. Some believed this, but many are still yet to believe. If you haven’t, you are not saved and everlasting death and punishment await such after death. It is better to believe in Christ now, than postpone it. Now is the time for you to believe, CHRIST came to the world to die for your sins; you just have to confess and forsake your sins and believe in CHRIST. Acceptance with GOD comes by believing Christ.
However, to be crucified with Christ is you been dead for worldliness, sins and works of the flesh. It mean you no longer live, but Christ lives in you. The bible says Christ in me, my hope of glory. Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world. Yes, that is being crucified with Christ. When you are crucified with Christ, your flesh no longer has final say; it does things of the spirit. When you are crucified with Christ, you have the hope of glory. The beautiful with eternal life is sure for you. You see GOD in glory on the last day.
Paul said in Galatians 2 vs 20: I have been crucified with Christ and I myself no longer live; but Christ lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my trusting in the son of GOD. When you are crucified with Christ, you have real life. Many don’t have real life, they have unreal life. The scriptures says: what shall it profit a man, when he gains all the whole world, but gains eternal life. A real life is eternal life, an unreal life is the destructive life.
Furthermore, we all need to be crucified with Christ, so he can live in us, so we can see him in glory on the last day. so we walk not in the flesh, but in the spirit and not fufill the lust of the flesh. I want you declare and confess this:
I have been crucified with Christ
I myself no longer live
But Christ lives in me
Christ in me, my hope of Glory
Halleluyah……
WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24: But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...
