Have you ever heard someone say "I must die to that." The good news is "your already dead to it."
When Christ died on the cross, You died with him, Romans 6:2-3

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

You need to underline the word "with." You were with him on the cross, you were with him in death, you were with him in resurrection and ascension.
All in Adam have been crucified to God, 2 Cor. 5:14

14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

The whole world is dead "in Christ" on the cross, they just don't know it they need to believe. You need to be a good preacher-teacher and tell them, how shall they know unless you tell them.
Many Christian's don't know their dead in Christ don't expect the world to understand.
If your not careful you become like so many today who protest and picket sin. It will never work because that will not change a person.
Only God's cross of salvation can do that. We judge based on good and evil. God's judgement fell on Jesus Christ at the cross.
You may expose sin and shame a person but they can only be saved by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seems many have used these tactics to get people in an altar or join their religion.
The only altar there is for lost humanity as well as believers is the Cross.
It is religion that builds a place for their salvation.
It is God who provided for salvation by the crucifixion of all in Adam in Christ on the cross.

Believers who see their death in Christ on the cross are the only one's that come to understand life.
They see life is only in the Son, and nothing anyone can do to enhance their salvation, 1 John 5:11-12

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

You may have a religious life or some life that feels good to them, but you will never have the Christ-life as your life until you see your death.

A similar idea is 'mortify' in Romans 8! :)

The old you is dead with Christ for they who believe. This is but a first step (where many believers remain)


But there remains the moment by moment walk whereby we carry the dying of Jesus in the outward natural man in order to let the life from the inner man come to the surface and be lived out.

Correct...
Many are content with whoo, hoo, whoop, whoop....."I'm Saved".... and fail to pay attention to HOW "their" Journey is "designed and pleasurable unto to God...to Continue.

Many Stay in the "I'm Saved" mode..."unsure of what " IS NEXT", MANY, "Continue preaching, "AS IF", philosophers, preachers, out of their own mind", "THEY" have it ALL Figured out.

Gods Desire and Gods Pleasure Continues AFTER a man IS Saved and Quickened...

TO Continue reading, learning Gods Precepts...OF HOW TO MAKE THEIR HEART,
(that God is feeding their Spirit in their Heart With His SPIRIT...)
TO supersede the thoughts of their OWN MIND!

Those who HAVE NOT accomplished MAKING their OWN MIND subjected to Gods SPIRIT....
Repeatedly teach;
...philosophies of men's MINDS,
...thoughts of CLERICS MINDS,
...thoughts of their OWN MINDS,

As IF, a Carnal Mind, and logic of their Carnal Mind, is supposed to be pleasing to God.

It Isn't!
The Carnal Mind is Against God.

A MIND LIKE CHRIST, is Pleasing to God.

God Bless,
