I am crucified with Christ

Do you know that the one that died, is the one who becomes the source of life. For instance when a fruit is plucked from it's tree, it's plucked from the source that give it life. God in his providence establish the universal rules that governs the life's of his creation This rules even apply to God himself, but it was activated by Adam. When Adam chose the wrong tree every living things started dying, but their death is never in vain. Something must die for something to live, the nature's way of exchange life for a life. The fruit that disengage from it's life source dies immediately, but becomes a nutrient and life source for any animals or humans that feed on it. Although consume but not totally gone, the seed or seeds that it left behind will regenerate itself if it falls on a good soil. As a christian we are dead in Christ but yet we live through his spirit Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. By his spirit Jesus lives through us that we might produce fruits, according to what type of seed his spirit sowed in us. From one seed comes a tree. From one tree comes 10s – 1000s of fruits. From the fruits comes 10s-100,000s of seed. Before our eyes from one seed (Jesus) billions of Christ followers. You see Jesus (fruit) must die in other to give up the seed (holy spirit) by hanging on a tree (cross). The bible said cursed is any man that hang on a tree. The fruit that is hanging on a tree by nature it must be plucked and when it's plucked it must surely dies. The death is the curse, but death is not the end of the fruit, inside is a or seeds. If the seed or seeds (holy spirit) falls or sowed on a good soil (flesh), that seed produces fruits. In the beginning of this note I wrote “ Do you know that the one that died, is the one who becomes the source of life”. The tree that is the curse of death (the cross), through the blood of Christ becomes the cause life (tree of life).

According to the book of Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live”. In the garden is where God show Adam the tree of life and knowledge of good and evil, Genesis 2:9 “And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil”. He was warned in the Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die”. Adam chose to die, but grace chose to die for him on the cross only if he will accept it. So he turned the tree of death at the cross to the tree of life. While he was stretched on that cross the lord is saying the same thing, the two thieves on the cross, one on the left and one on the right. Do you want to be like the thief on the left, the one that depends on the works to be saved, according to Luke 23:39 “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us”. Or do you want to be like the one on the right. For he believes that Jesus does have a kingdom beyond this life in vs 40 “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom”. By faith the one on the right was the first to get into paradise literally the thief on the right was crucify with Christ by faith, but yet he lives with him in eternity. On Calvary God is telling you to choose life that only comes by faith or death by what you can see. Cretin say's I will not believe it until I see it, to be crucify with Christ you must first believe in him. the cross is the way to life in Christ. What he did on it is the solution to damnation.
