How do we live for Jesus?

1. Knowing the concept of a crucified life.
Gal 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Understand what happened in the cross.
A. The blood of Christ dealt with our sin.
B. Cross deals with the sinner.

Crucified identified with Christ. From Adam to being identified with Christ. Shift of identification.
1 Corinthians 15:22
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Life identified in Christ no longer in Adam. Experience of Christ and blessings are ours.

2. Is a life of intentional holiness
Rom 6:5-11

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.


Galatians 5:24
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the fleshwith its passions and desires.

Sinful nature is crucified. Penalty and power of sin working in us.
Sin (penalty power presence) unless we allow it, we sin.
Live your life to live for Jesus. Overcome sin. Deals with the Power and penalty.

3. Is an life of Christ dwelling in us through his Spirit.
Life of Christ given to us. No control of your life. Live for Jesus.

Galatians 5:16
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
