Philippians 1:21<\/strong>
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galatians 2:20 <\/strong>
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God, who loved Me and gave Himself for me.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who are Cruified, die… <\/strong>Their life leaves their body. 
If we have been crusified with Christ, we are dead to self. 
All self has passed away. All that remains is God in our flesh.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are NOT our own,<\/strong> for we were bought with a price.
As Jesus said to Father God, not my will, but Yours be done. 
Abraham’s obedience was counted as righteousness.  
Obedience is key. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alive in Christ,<\/strong> is a sacrificed vessel completely yielded to Him. 
There is no, I, me, myself, just the great, I AM. <\/mark><\/strong>
The word of God, Prince of Peace, the truth, the way, the life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THERE IS NOTHING ELSE BECAUSE WE HAVE CRUSIFIED OURSELVES!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Corinthians 5:17<\/strong>
Therefore,  if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we look in the mirror, we see Christ.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Corinthians 3:18 <\/strong>
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When people look at us they see Christ <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathew 5:16<\/strong>
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven. <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we speak, He is speaking<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 12:49 <\/strong>
For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we rest, we rest in Christ <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 14:27<\/strong>
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 15:13<\/strong>
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s lay it all down for the one who did so for us. 
Let your will be done Jesus, my friend for ever \ud83d\ude4f \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
