“I AM
CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST”
(Galatians 2:20-21) 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.
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
*Frustrate - mean no value, or
no effect, or vain .
* What Paul was saying that not
frustrate the grace of God which is the Cross of Christ done with great Power
in his Christian life. Because we are Crucified in Christ. This is the evidence
that we are already dead from all sinful activity of our life in the world.
(Romans 6:11-15) 11.Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead
indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12.Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,
that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13.Neither yield ye your members as instruments of
unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are
alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14.For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye
are not under the law, but under grace.
15.What then? shall we sin, because we are not under
the law, but under grace? God forbid.
* To frustrate the grace of God of
the Cross of Christ- This mean that Cross of are not given value and without
power in their life.
* a. This Christian still living in
their former sinful life in the world
b. This Christian still equally yoked with the unbelievers.
c. This Christian are not showing faithfulness worshipping God in Sunday
worship service.
d. This have much time to enjoy their life in the world.

1• THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE
CROSS CLEANSES US AND FREES US FROM SIN
(Matthew 26:28) For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins.
(1 Pet. 2:24) To whom coming, as unto a living
stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
2• THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE
CROSS DELIVERS US FROM GOD’S WRATH
(Rom. 5:9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
3• THROUGH THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST
ON THE CROSS, GOD REDEEMS AND FORGIVES US
(Col. 1:14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even
the forgiveness of sins:
4• THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE
CROSS BREAKS SATAN’S POWER
( Hebrews 2:14 ) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of
flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through
death he might destroy him thatx had the power of death, that is, the devil;
(Col. 2:14-15) Blotting out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of
the way, nailing it to his cross;
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he
made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

of him:
(Eph. 2:11-22) Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past
Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called
the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were without Christ, being
aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of
promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
(Col. 1:13-20) (Colossians 1:20) And, having made peace through the
blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say,
whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
6• THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE
CROSS GIVES US ACCESS TO GOD
(Heb. 10:19-20) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
