Introduction:
Except you know how we where crucify with Christ on the cross, you have not yet experienced it. You can only know this by personal experience. Those who have not experienced the crucifixion on the cross are not Christian's even if they answer the name christians, they are not part of Christ's family. It is only those who die with Christ on the cross that are true Christians. If you are yet to experience this take advantage of this study and become one of us in Christ.
Ways we are crucify with Christ on the cross:
- 2 Corinthians 5:14b "... because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:"
do you believe what you are reading now? Do you believe that if one died for all then all have died including you? - Christ died as the substitute for all. He died as a representative of all, and all of us who believe died with Him.
- Although Christ took the pains of death alone the benefit of His death us for all of us who believe and trust in Him. Colossians 3:3; Galatians 2:20
- Because of what Christ has done for us God has not impute our trespasses to us, He imputed them instead to Christ who was sinless in every respect Hebrews 4:15
- Christ bore our sons on the cross and endured the penalty that we deserved so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him Romans 3:4
Conclusion:
How do you appreciate what for has done for us in Christ, He died for all of us then all of us died in Him, He feels the pains of death on our behalf that we should be free from that pains. Now when we only believe that God had raised Him from the death He impute upon us His righteousness then as we confess Christ as our Lord He save us from all sins what a privilege we have in Christ. Please share your experience with us, God bless you as you do so in Jesus name. Amen
