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……

Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
