The Crucified Christian

When God speaks, He is either talking to an individual, family, group or nation but most definitely not everybody at the same time. However, God's word, Spirit behind the letters or higher truth is the anointing for an overflowing or supernatural life.

Apostle Paul, being a father of faith after whom we follow today even as he followed Christ described the believer as "a crucified christian". His he trying to say we are living dead yes? I'll say a emphatic yes to that. We are indeed living dead.

For you to be able to live a righteous life being a prerequisite for the overflowing life and eternal abode,you have to die to the flesh. Scripture admonishes that we mortify the flesh lest we fulfill her lust and be led by the Spirit, Gal 5:16-19. The following are therefore characteristics of the crucified christian being portrayed as a dead man;

1. Just like a corpse,he doesn't have a will of his own; that's the point where Jesus actually becomes his/her Lord. Many accept Him as Savior but very few do accept Him as Lord indeed

2. The C.C. can NEVER sin because the gene of sin has been hung on the cross,1John 3:9; the seed of righteousness has been implanted into him/her at salvation

3. He obeys God's word to detail without questions, John 15:10

4. He naturally nears the fruits of the spirit as lined up I Gal 5:22

Conclusively, as a dead man everything that has to do with his flesh becomes an abomination to him; lieing, anger, hatred, lust, fornication, covetousness etc Gal 5:19 but now being a spirit patterns his life after the laws of the spirit I.e. the revealed word of God as we dish out to you daily from this platform. Good morning and do have a good day.
