What does it mean to live a crucified life?
First, it means that we have died to our self-sufficiency and spiritual pride. We must rely completely on the merits of Jesus for salvation.
Second, it also means that we are called to do the right thing–no matter the personal cost or sacrifice to ourselves.
Jesus died to free us from the guilt and power of sin. The assurance of salvation transforms our attitude towards God, ourselves, and the world. We love because He loves us. He sacrificed His life for our salvation. We now live to honor and glorify Him in all things.
