Crucified to the world:
14 But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Through the cross of Jesus, I am
dead to the world. It has no power over me. It has no lure to the spirit man
inside me. Nothing can influence a dead person. I can’t change it, and it can’t
change me … at least the real me. Of course I can let it influence me in this
life. That’s the problem. We’re dead to the world, but we act like it’s still
in control of us. It is, only if we let it. The real us is not persuaded by the
enticement of the world system. It doesn’t tempt us. If we would only allow His
Spirit to control us, we would have no trouble in this life following His commands.
If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would
say:
"My
children, you are not of the world and the world has no power over you. Do not
submit yourselves to the things and desires of the world. It cannot save you,
and it cannot help you in time of need. It can only bring you down. It has no
influence over you unless you let it. It is powerless against My Spirit. You
have power over the things of the world as long as you submit to Me. Trust in Me to take
care of you and you will have good success.”
70. The world is
crucified to me and I to the world. It no longer holds power over me.
