sin. They do not know that the most dangerous source of sin is the<br />
love of the world with its lusts and pleasures.<br />
O Christian, when the world crucified Christ, it crucified you with<br />
Him, When Christ overcame the world on the cross, He made you an<br />
overcomer too. He calls you now, at whatever cost of self-denial, to<br />
regard the world, in its hostility to God and His kingdom, as a<br />
crucified enemy over whom the cross can ever keep you conqueror.<br />
What a different relationship to the pleasures and attractions of the<br />
world the Christian has who <strong>by</strong> the Holy Spirit has learned to say: “I<br />
have been crucified with Christ; the crucified Christ liveth in me”!<br />
Let us pray God fervently that the Holy Spirit, through whom Christ<br />
offered Himself on the cross, may reveal to us in power what it<br />
means to “glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which<br />
the world had been crucified unto me.”<br />
Day 5 – The Flesh Crucified<br />
“They that are in Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and<br />
the lusts thereof.” –Galatians 5:24.<br />
Of the flesh Paul teaches us (Romans 7:18), “In me, that is, IN MY FLESH,<br />
DWELLETH NO GOOD THING.” And again (Romans 8:7), “The mind of<br />
the flesh is ENMITY AGAINST GOD; for it is not subject to the law of God,<br />
NEI<strong>THE</strong>R INDEED CAN IT BE.” When Adam lost the spirit of God, he<br />
became flesh. Flesh is the expression for the evil, corrupt nature that<br />
we inherit from Adam. Of this flesh it is written, “Our old man was<br />
crucified with Him” (Romans 6:6). And Paul puts it here even more<br />
strongly, “They that are in Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh.”<br />
