Overcoming Faith: Walking in The Spirit - The Cross Experienced Part 1

In this video, we start to explore how the cross works. We start our exploration by remembering that we are a new creation in Christ. We are seated in the heavenlies with Christ. When He was resurrected, we were spiritually resurrected with Him as that new creation. That does not mean that our old man was done away with. No, we remain tied to the old man, or the "wretched body" Paul talks about in Romans. Paul asks, who will separate us, or rescue us from that wretched body. When we look to the law, and even religious forms to rescue us, all that happens is that our wretchedness is exposed even more. Too many buckle down in these forms rather than pick up their cross and follow Christ through the power of the Spirit. As we shall see, the old man is to be crucified as we pick up our crosses and follow Christ. All that happens to those who understand the cross is that they die to the old man and are freed from that wretched body to live in Christ through the new creation.
