“My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer
I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting
in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
This is a very important and life changing truth. Our old
sinful nature was crucified and buried with Christ, in fact Christ died AS me.
I have now been raised into fullness of life and the power and spirit of God
reigns in me.
The focus of my life is now all I am in Christ and not on
all I was in the flesh. I am now Christ conscious not sin conscious.
Andrew Wommack explains that now Christ lives through us.
“Paul's "old man" was dead through Christ. He was
truly free to live, but it wasn't actually Paul who was living--it was Christ
living through him. Paul had learned the secret of victorious Christian living;
it is not us living for Jesus, but Jesus living through us.
Failure to understand this simple truth is at the root of
all legalism and performance mentality. The Law focuses on the outer man and
tells it what it must do. Grace focuses on the inner man and tells it what is
already done through Christ. Those who are focused on what they must do are
under Law. Those who are focused on what Christ has done for them are walking
under grace.
The Christian life is not just hard to live--it's impossible
to live in our human strength. The only way to walk in victory is to let Christ
live through us.”
