--NOT I, BUT CHRIST/-- I HAVE DIED TO SELF

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
---(Galatians 2:20)

WHEN WE GIVE OUR LIVES TO CHRIST, WE DIE TO SELF, AND LIVE FOR HIM

We worship Him for who He is and what He has done, and is doing on our behalf. His death makes all the difference to us. Christ Jesus died to set us free from sin, self, Satan and the world. ~~

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

--We know that “being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8). What happened there? “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life” (Romans 5:10).

Today we no longer have an obligation to render animal sacrifices to God for our sin, but we do need to offer something better than even our best. Scripture asks us to “present [our] bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God” (Romans 12:1).
--Christ Jesus died and paid our sin debt. "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." Jesus died and set us free to serve Him. "Now go and sin no more." / Crucified With Christ/ Phillips, Craig and Dean ~
