Crucified with Christ – Series Introduction

“The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.” Luke 9:22 NIV

Then [Jesus] said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.” Luke 9:23-24 NIV

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 NIV

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
Galatians 5:24 NLT

Being crucified with Christ requires…

1) Denial
“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way…” Luke 9:23a NLT

2) Death

I die every day! 1 Corinthians 15:31 ESV

3) Devotion

[The disciples] left everything and followed Jesus, becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example.
Luke 5:11 AMP

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Romans 6:4 NLT
