See your old man crucified at the cross

The bible says we are to see our old man crucified at the cross with
Christ. (Romans 6:6) That implies we are to see our old selves no more for
the old man has died with Christ and our new man is in the risen Christ!

Who then is the old man? He is the person who doesn't have the resurrected
life of Christ indwelling in him. He is the person who is still living in
the prison of sin. He is the person who still believe in his flesh.

What does it mean to have died with Christ and to live with the resurrected
Christ? Simply, our old selves who were sinful and self righteous are now a
thing of the past. The pain, the sorrow, the reliance on flesh of the old
man is no more! Behold, we have a new man in Christ. We have a new
beginning in Christ!

We have a new identity in Christ Jesus. Whoever Christ is, I am. For Christ
is in us and we in Him. The divine exchanged had taken place at the cross.
Jesus had given us His place of right standing with God for our place of
sin.With one complete sacrifice, our new man is risen with the resurrected
Christ.

The bible says we have divine heal for Jesus has borne our diseases on His
body. By His stripe, we are already made whole, we are already healed, we
have the peace of God which surpasses all understanding.

When the Holy Spirit indwells in us, we shall be guided from the rest
within. We can be guided as to what kind of decision to make. We can
discern between what in line with God's masterplan in our lives and what's
not.

And we know by the grace of God Jesus was made poor at the cross that we
through His poverty shall be made rich. We have every spiritual blessing in
Christ Jesus.

All things shall work together for our good. Not all things are necessarily
good but they shall work together for our good. For this is our inheritance
in Christ Jesus.

See our new man in Christ and be filled with His grace in our lives. See
and abundant favour of God flows through our lives and in every endeavour
we pursue. Hallelujah!
