💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: At salvation, the old self was crucified. Romans 6:6-7, "We know that our old self [our human nature without the Holy Spirit] was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin. 7 For the person who has died [with Christ] has been freed from [the power of] sin."
The finished work of Christ made that possible when we received Him by faith. Paul says to the new believer, “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:24). The old self was crucified with Christ, but it is our responsibility to crucify the old nature and to put the old nature (flesh) to death! In repentance, we crucified everything we knew to be wrong. We took our old self-centered nature with all its passions and desires and NAILED it to the cross.
Crucifying the flesh is a mental battle. “Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires” (Romans 8:5).
👏🏾 As long as we choose to believe the truth and live by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit, the flesh will be rendered inoperative!
Crucifying the flesh is also a crisis of the will. We can choose to live by either the flesh or the Spirit. It is your choice. Choose wisely! Amen! Be holy. Live clean lives. Never give up on Jesus! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
