I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel. I am moved by what I believe. I believe the WORD of God! The victory is mine! I have it now! I can see it through the eyes of my faith! In Jesus Name

Intro:

Next to being saved, nothing is more important than the way we influence other people. People watch us every day to see if we just "talk the talk" or if we really "walk the walk."

The best way to share the Good News is by the way we live.

Pay attention to the phrase "those who belong to Christ." When you trust in Christ as your Savior, you become His property and possession. When someone comes to Jesus Christ for salvation, it's because they want to be set free from the chains of sin, death, and judgment. You want to spend eternity with the Lord. He desires to break free from the bondage of the flesh, and avoid its sinful desires, death and certain judgment. He desires salvation from the corruptible flesh of this world. So when someone comes to Christ, they turn away from their flesh and turn towards God. They leave behind the control of their flesh and everything it represents. He has decided to follow Jesus Christ as his new Lord. So, when we believe in Jesus Christ, we no longer belong to our old ways. We belong to Him. He takes over our lives and we are no longer controlled by our fleshly desires.

As believers, we no longer serve our fleshly desires, but instead, we serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As believers, we have crucified our flesh with its passions and lusts. How? To be with Jesus Christ, we must die with Him. To die with Jesus Christ, one must accept Him as their Lord and Savior and live a life according to His teachings. This means confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness, and striving to follow His example of love and compassion towards others. Through faith in Jesus, we can have the assurance of eternal life with Him in heaven. God made it happen. My dear friend, it is only through the grace of God that one can truly say they have died with Jesus Christ. It is not something that can be achieved through our own efforts or actions. This is what God does. When you truly believe in Jesus Christ, God counts it as your death with Him. When we have faith in God, He blesses us by connecting us with Christ. Brothers and sisters, let us remember that in the eyes of our Lord, those who have accepted Christ have passed away with Him.

We need to be placed into Christ's death.

We must identify ourselves with the death of Christ.

To share in the death of Christ.

We must be united with the death of Christ.

We must be bound in the death of Christ.

Listen closely, my friend: when God sees that a believer has been crucified with Christ, that means the believer has died to the flesh.

They have given up their worldly desires and surrendered to God.

They have passed away from the desires of the flesh.

They have been liberated from their physical body.

You are free from the desires of the flesh.

You are free from the desires of your flesh.

When a person passes away, they are no longer with us. He is no longer under the rule of the flesh, but under the rule of God. He no longer gives importance to the flesh in his life. He is free from the flesh and all its negative influences, such as fleshly habits, control, bondage, judgment, enslavement, condemnation, and even death.

Being crucified with Christ means that we don't live in the flesh anymore, but in the spirit. We can't live without our bodies because we are on this earth. We are no longer bound to live according to our sinful nature. We must not give in to our fleshly desires and instead follow the ways of the Lord. We want to do what is right and make God happy with everything we do.
