Have I been crucified with Christ? Galatians 2:20 To say I have been is an affirmation of a fact, a “done deal.” It’s more than a good intention, a promise to try. OC tells us that its result is “then all that Christ wrought for me on the Cross is wrought in me. The free committal of myself to God gives the Holy Spirit the chance to impart to me the holiness of Jesus Christ. “. . . nevertheless I live. . . .” The individuality remains, but the mainspring, the ruling disposition, is radically altered. The same human body remains, but the old satanic right to myself is destroyed.”

How can I know that this crucifixion is a fact in me? It certainly has to be more than a feeling. There must be some evidence. 

“And the life which I now live in the flesh . . . ,” not the life which I long to live and pray to live, but the life I now live in my mortal flesh, the life which men can see, “I live by the faith of the Son of God.” This faith is not Paul’s faith in Jesus Christ, but the faith that the Son of God has imparted to him – “the faith of the Son
of God.” It is no longer faith in faith, but faith which has overleapt all conscious bounds, the identical faith of the Son of God.”

In no way is that faith in me. Have I been crucified with Christ? It seems not. There is not the evidence of it.

Does the faith of the Son of God live in you? If so, you are truly blessed.
