Why is being crucified with Christ important for Christians?

Answered in 3 sources

Being crucified with Christ signifies that believers have died to sin and the law, enabling them to live in freedom and newness of life.

The concept of being crucified with Christ is central to the believer's identity. In Galatians 2:20, Paul states, 'I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.' This signifies that through faith, believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. This union enables them to be freed from the guilt and dominion of sin, as they are identified with His perfect obedience and righteousness. Moreover, it signifies a complete transformation, where the believer's desires align with Christ's and the compelling force becomes love for Him, rather than fear of the law (Romans 6:4).
