What is the significance of being crucified with Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Being crucified with Christ signifies our identification with Him in His death and the beginning of our new life in Him.
The phrase 'crucified with Christ' found in Galatians 2:20 expresses a transformative event in the believer's life. It indicates that when Christ died, believers also died to their old selves and their sinful nature. This identification with Christ in His death means that we are no longer controlled by sin or under the law but are empowered to live a new life shaped by the indwelling Christ. Therefore, recognizing ourselves as crucified with Christ helps us to understand the complete work of salvation and our new identity wherein we are free to live in obedience to God, empowered by the Holy Spirit. This truth can lead to profound changes in our daily lives and motivations.
