The Cross of Christ not only broke the grip of the Law, but it broke the grip of our flesh…the word crucified here used metaphorically to mean our flesh has been crucified along with its affections and lusts…putting it all to death through our faith in Jesus Christ. What this means is a giving up of my right to myself, my natural independence, and my self-will. But our corrupt nature won’t leave quietly & without a fight…for even a child can tell you what’s evil, morally bad, and wrong…but what we do all the time is debate over what’s good…splitting hairs over our definition of what’s “good & good enough” in order to still have our own way. As Romans 6:6 tells us, sin reigned in our “old self” but it was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be done away with…destroying the reign of sin in our bodies.
