I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me. What does it mean to live the crucified life? How can we live the crucified life.

1. LIVING THE
CRUCIFIED LIFE!

2. Galatians 2:17-20 But if, while we seek to
be justified by Christ, we ourselves also
are found sinners, is Christ therefore a
minister of sin? Certainly not! (18) For if I
build again those things which I
destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
(19) For I through the law died to the law
that I might live to God. (20) 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.

3. THE CRUCIFIED LIFE
A. Galatians 5:24-25 And those who are Christ's have
crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (25) If
we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
B. Galatians 6:14-15 But God forbid that I should boast
except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom
the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
(15) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor
uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
C. Romans 6:5-7 For if we have been united together in
the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in
the likeness of His resurrection, (6) knowing this, that
our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of
sin might be done away with, that we should no longer
be slaves of sin. (7) For he who has died has been
freed from sin.
D. The crucified life involves...

4. I. Living Right
A. 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 For the love of Christ
compels us, because we judge thus: that if
One died for all, then all died; (15) and He
died for all, that those who live should live no
longer for themselves, but for Him who died
for them and rose again. (16) Therefore, from
now on, we regard no one according to the
flesh. Even though we have known Christ
according to the flesh, yet now we know Him
thus no longer. (17) Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; old things have
passed away; behold, all things have become
new.

5. I. Living Right
B. Romans 6:1-14 What shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin that grace may abound? (2)
Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live
any longer in it? (3) Or do you not know that as
many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into His death? (4) Therefore we
were buried with Him through baptism into death,
that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life. (5) For if we have been united
together in the likeness of His death, certainly we
also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, (6)
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with
Him, that the body of sin might be done away with,
that we should no longer be slaves of sin. (7) For
he who has died has been freed from sin. >>>

6. I. Living Right
(8) Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we
shall also live with Him, (9) knowing that Christ,
having been raised from the dead, dies no more.
Death no longer has dominion over Him. (10) For
the death that He died, He died to sin once for all;
but the life that He lives, He lives to God. (11)
Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead
indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our
Lord. (12) Therefore do not let sin reign in your
mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. (13)
And do not present your members as instruments
of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves
to God as being alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness to God.
(14) For sin shall not have dominion over you, for
you are not under law but under grace.

7. II. Speaking Right.
A. Colossians 4:5-6 (5) Walk in wisdom toward those who
are outside, redeeming the time. (6) Let your speech
always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you
may know how you ought to answer each one.
B. Ephesians 4:11-16 And He Himself gave some to be
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some
pastors and teachers, ….. (14) that we should no
longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in
the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, (15) but,
speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things
into Him who is the head--Christ-- (16) from whom the
whole body, joined and knit together by what every
joint supplies, according to the effective working by
which every part does its share, causes growth of the
body for the edifying of itself in love.

8. III. Thinking Right.
A. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war according to the flesh. (4) For the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in
God for pulling down strongholds, (5) casting down
arguments and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought
into captivity to the obedience of Christ, (6) and being
ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience
is fulfilled.
B. Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatever things are
true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are
just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are
lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is
any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--
meditate on these things. (9) The things which you
learned and received and heard and saw in me, these
do, and the God of peace will be with you.

9. IV. Treating Others Right.
A.Galatians 6:9-10 And let us not grow
weary while doing good, for in due season
we shall reap if we do not lose heart. (10)
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us
do good to all, especially to those who are
of the household of faith.

10. IV. Treating Others Right.
B. Luke 10:30-37 Then Jesus answered and
said: "A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among
thieves, who stripped him of his clothing,
wounded him, and departed, leaving him half
dead. (31) Now by chance a certain priest
came down that road. And when he saw him,
he passed by on the other side. (32) Likewise
a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came
and looked, and passed by on the other side.
(33) But a certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where he was. And when he
saw him, he had compassion. >>>

11. IV. Treating Others Right.
(34) So he went to him and bandaged his
wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set
him on his own animal, brought him to an
inn, and took care of him. (35) On the next
day, when he departed, he took out two
denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said
to him, 'Take care of him; and whatever more
you spend, when I come again, I will repay
you.' (36) So which of these three do you
think was neighbor to him who fell among
the thieves?" (37) And he said, "He who
showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to
him, "Go and do likewise."

12. V. Dying Right
A.Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the
LORD Is the death of His saints.
B.Revelation 14:12-13 Here is the patience of
the saints; here are those who keep the
commandments of God and the faith of
Jesus. (13) Then I heard a voice from
heaven saying to me, "Write: 'Blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'
" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest
from their labors, and their works follow
them."
