One more thing i love about the Bible is that the word of God will always show you things , and show you more......and more.
The Bible, the word of God, talks to you by revealing to the spiritual "eyes of your understanding", more LIGHT..
God's Spirit that is in you, in union with your born again Spirit, communicates.
This is receiving revelation, receiving more LIGHT.
I have the Spirit of God, and when i write to you, God communicates through my words to you, His Light.
Your part is to receive truth and be earnestly wanting to grow, Spiritually.
This is always our part.
You could spend your life sitting in a cave on the side of a mountain... and all you do is study the topic of "The Cross", and you'll never learn it all, as this "Tree of Grace" has so many BLOOD roots.... that its just impossible to know everything about its redemptive Fruit....but, what a joy it is to learn as much as you can, while you can.
"Study"....
Now, here is something that you've not been shown before, i'm pretty certain....
Look now at this verse.
"i am crucified with Christ"...
That's a simple part of a verse, huh?
Now.... lets make grow...
Who is crucified with Christ? ????
Who???
= Everyone who is SAVED.
Are you saved?
If you are born again, then you are saved.
So, what happened to your "old man", when you were born again as a "new creation"?
Well, that "old man" that "sinner", was "crucified with Christ".
Paul says you are to recognize your old man as DEAD.
Why? Because God does.
God sees the born again, He does not see the old man, the dead, the flesh.
If you are sinning and repenting, and are trying to keep yourself saved, or trying to keep yourself in God's good estimation by self effort, then you are causing yourself to sin more, because you are in bondage to your old man, which is your carnal mind.
This is why the NT teaches you that Jesus BECAME your sin.. He didnt just bear it,.....Christ literally Became SIN.
The verse is.. 2nd Corinthians 5:21 "" For GOD hath made JESUS to BE SIN for US, who Himself knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God IN him."" (In Christ).
See that verse?
Its not preached much in these days of deceivers, but its the Atom Bomb of Justification by Faith.
God's word just told you that GOD made His SON to "BE YOUR SIN".. and then Christ DIED, and SO DID YOUR SIN. Your "old man", your fallen man, the "sinner" part of you, that was judged by the law,.....IS DEAD.
You are now a NEW Creation, ="" The righteousness of GOD...."in Christ".
Learn to see yourself as only this new Creation, and you are then understanding How God sees you always.
Saint... THIS is why you are become a "New Creation, IN CHRIST".
You are no longer that old man of sin, or that sin nature....you are now Risen with Christ, as the "new Birth", exactly the same as Christ is RISEN from Death and walked out of that tomb.
Understand that your first birth, birthed you into sin.
Your 2nd Birth...BORN AGAIN, Birthed you OUT of Sin, and into The Righteousness of God, in Christ.
This is now where you exist for all ETERNITY.
When you were born again, you were birthed in the Spirit by the Holy Spirit, = INTO GOD.
There is no sin there.
There is only RIGHTEOUSNESS., and that is the REAL YOU..... that will get a NEW BODY to house the REAL YOU, someday.
Your old man is dead and your current earthly body is going to be there also.
You are now 'IN CHRIST" as you died with Him when He became your SIN and your "old man", and you rose AGAIN with Him...as a "SON" as a "Child of GOD", Newly BORN AGAIN, when you were born again.
Got it??
SEE YOURSELF THERE....as that is what GOD SEES when He looks at YOU, if you are born again.

So, i had to show you that so that i could now show you my Thread's topic.....
= Every person who is born again, died on the Same Cross with Christ... "I am crucified ...with Christ"..
This means that there have been millions upon millions of people who have literally been on the Cross with Christ and DIED and rose again = as the "new birth", "born again",= " In Christ"..
Notice that Thief on the Cross who trusted in Christ before He died...
Well, he died physically on His Cross, and died also on Jesus's Cross.....as He also became....."i am crucified WITH CHRIST"...
So, he got to experience 2 Crosses that very same day.
One day when you are in Glory with Christ and the Father, you can find that born again Thief and ask him about that.
