“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
What causes someone to invite Jesus Christ to crucify their life and to give up everything for Him? The answer is you have a personal encounter with the Living Christ and realize He is your only hope for life.

Jesus has to become a reality to you and not just a story in the Bible. This will happen when you witness a glimpse of His greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty.
Jesus will demonstrate to you the futility and weakness of trying to live through your flesh and the power and glory of the risen Christ. You will gladly choose life over death and walk by faith with the Son of God.
You cannot experience the fullness of Christ crucified until you abandon yourself to Jesus and invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life.
The reality of Christ crucified will come to you by living out your faith and trusting Jesus for your every need. You will not find the crucified Christ through religion or works.
The miracle of becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus is a recognition Christ lives in you through the Holy Spirit and wants to share His life with you. He gives you the ability to walk by the Spirit and live in oneness with Jesus.
The dynamic of Christ crucified reaches into every aspect your life including your thoughts, decision making, values, family and friends, your work, and all your other activities. Nothing is left untouched.
The Holy Spirit infuses your life with the spiritual values of Jesus and you become a light touching those living in darkness.
Christ crucified is simply giving up your life for the life of Christ! He is the way, the truth, and the life!
