Crucified

Gal. 5:24: And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Jesus hung and died on the Cross to purchase our freedom from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. All darkness was defeated by the Cross, and by His Blood all sin is washed away. As believers let's grab ahold of this freedom and proclaim it to the world, there's Power in the Blood. Let's stand firm in this freedom and not to take it for granted. Believe what Christ has done that all may be redeemed to the Father. But many times we battle with self, the old nature, them burning passions from with in. How and when do they stop? As long as we live in this body our flesh will arise now and then.  Don't give liberty to the flesh, starve it, don't feed it with the world's pleasures and sinful desires. Rom 6:6: We know that our old self was crucified (nailed to the cross) with Him, in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, be ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin.  Christ's death  ended the relation to sin once and for all. And the life He lives, He is living to God in unbroken fellowship with Him. v:11 Even consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God in unbroken fellowship with Him in Christ Jesus. Seek to live a life in fellowship with God daily, His will not ours. Praise Him today to move in your life mightily.
