The Bible says we died with Christ.
If this is the case, how should we then live?
I have been crucified with Christ...
Notice the personal nature of the event.
“I” The Greek word for I is ego.
All our ego has to die.
Notice the past tense of the statement.
“I have been.”
Notice the action.
“crucified.”
Notice who we have been crucified with.
“crucified with Christ.”
verb — A word that describes an action, state of being, or the production of a result.
perfect — The verb tense used by the writer to describe a completed verbal action that occurred in the past but which produced a state of being or a result that exists in the present (in relation to the writer).
The emphasis of the perfect is not the past action so much as it is as such but the present “state of affairs” resulting from the past action.
passive — The grammatical voice that signifies that the subject is being acted upon; i.e., the subject is the receiver of the verbal action.
A verb in the passive voice with God as the stated or implied agent is often referred to as the “divine passive.”
5. Who has crucified us with Christ?
Who did this action?
You were the passive recipient of this action.
I believe God made us willing for this action to be done.
But it was God who performed it.
The same Lord who was over the crucifixion of His Son is the same Lord who is over the crucifixion of the believer.
“It is no longer I who live,”
Before it was all about me.
I lived for the unholy Trinity, “Me, myself and I”
But it is who I was before, my old nature.
Now the new person is living through Christ, living for Christ.
“But Christ who lives in me.”
The miracle of the Christ life planted within us by the Holy Spirit.
“And the life I now live in the flesh,”
This current life, this present temporary existence in my flesh,
“I live by faith in the Son of God,”
This new life is lived by faith, by faith in the Son of God.
It is in this way this new life is manifested and enjoyed.
“Who loved me and gave himself for me.”
“You are saying you cannot trust the one who loved you gave his life for you?”
Notice the evil nature of unbelief.
It isn’t distrusting yourself, but not trusting him who who loved you and gave himself for you.
“If this is the true state of the believer, why is it that as Christians we seem to be living for ourselves, more than Christ?”
We could take the radical position and say none of us are saved?
In some cases this may be true, but not in every case
2. What I believe it is.
It is a failure to appropriate Christs finished work in our life.
Just like the Corinthians we are yet carnal, governed more by our flesh, fleshly.
