Thoughts from The Root of Righteousness: “We Must DieIf We Would Live”
In every Christian’s
heart there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he
puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross he remains on the throne.
Our uncrucified flesh
will rob us of purity of heart, Christ-likeness of character, spiritual
insight, fruitfulness; and more than all, it will hide from us the vision of
God’s face, that vision which has been the light of earth and will be the
completeness of heaven.
…I have been crucified with Christ; and I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in
the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2: 19b-20
