As we cling to Christ, we put to death our old life, our old ways, old sins, and old values. In this way, we are crucified with Christ. Our new life is found through faith in Christ.
Main Points:
1. I have often thought, “If Jesus would go to the cross for me if He would lay down his life as a sacrifice for me, is there anything I would not do for Him? If He would demonstrate His love for me in such an amazing way, there really is nothing I could give that would be a sacrifice. I will gladly live for Him. I will gladly serve Him.
2. It’s here that we recognize that we are not saved by doing good things. We do good things because we are saved. We live in obedience because God calls us to obedience. We serve and do good works because God asks us to do so. We are motivated by the great love of God and the sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf.
3. Hear the call of our savior to lay down your flesh, your carnal desires, and your worldly passions. Let them be crucified with Christ. Embrace the life that comes through faith in the resurrected Savior.
