GALATIANS 5
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Galatians 2
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
LOSING YOUR GRIP
The Christian has a new master, he/she has a new relationship, a relationship of grace.
He/she is in union with Christ, but to do that he must get rid of something.
Our old life needs to be crucified, we do have two natures and the one we feed will have the upper hand, the flesh and the spirit are in conflict
Galatians 5
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
What are you to actively crucify your flesh?
Are you staying from rubbish on the tv and internet?
Are you staying away from bad company?
Christians can not come to church on Sunday and live a worldly life from Monday to Saturday。
The power of sin has been broken at the cross, it has no power over us, the presence of sin is still with us, but it's presence, can become less and less as we walk after the spirit.
Now that doesn't mean, we will ever reach perfection, we won't, but we will be victorious the majority of the time.
We have to walk after the spirit：
Galatians 5
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
We will know when we are crucifying the flesh, when the fruit of the spirit are evident in our lives and that the works of the flesh are becoming less and less.
Which is it?
Galatians 5
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Are the works of vs 19-21 or the fruit of vs 22-23, taking over your life?
If it is the latter, then you are truly losing your grip and crucifying your flesh.
God bless you
