CRUCIFIED THE FLESH (Galatians 5:24)

CRUCIFIED THE FLESH (Galatians 5:24)

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24)

Verse 24 - Have crucified the flesh - One of 4 uses of “crucified” that does not refer to Christ’s crucifixion (Galatians 2:20; 6:14; Romans 6:6). Here Paul states that the flesh has been executed, yet the spiritual battle still rages in the believer (Romans 7:14–25). Paul’s use looks back to the cross of Christ, where the death of the flesh and its power to reign over believers was actually accomplished (Romans 6:1–11). Christians must wait until their glorification before they are finally rid of their unredeemed humanness (Romans 8:23), yet by walking in the Spirit they can please God in this world.

I have been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20)

 The world has been crucified to me (Galatians 6:14)

 Our old man was crucified with Him (Romans 6:6)
