Thanks.

What does this mean to the individual, the condemned man who would find life in Christ Jesus? How can this theology be translated into life?

I'm thankful we can hear the answer to that question straight from an apostle of Jesus Christ:

"How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 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. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 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. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:2-11

“The old cross would have no truck with the world.”

Today I returned home from the Ligonier Conference in Orlando. One of the conference speakers said that if earlier bible-believing Christians could see today’s church they would be shocked at two things — our wealth and (my paraphrase) our comfort with the ways and allures of the world.

Mr. Tozer was spot-on, as usual.
