| "Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin." - Romans 6:6
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Galatians 2:20
The gift of salvation that Christ purchased for us is the greatest gift and the most precious possession a believer can have. Though we are all born with a sinful nature, and though this body of sin remains with us until we return to the dust, the moment we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, put our trust in Him, and receive Him as our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us. He sanctifies us and conforms us to the image of our Lord. We do not become sinless in this life, yet the Spirit of God teaches us, trains us, and produces in us a growing hatred for sin and a desire for righteousness. Our old man was crucified with Christ, and our new nature enables us to let Christ rule in our hearts as we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us.
Praise the Lord!
