Moreover, there are two important Greek words here explaining a radical change of impulse compared to before. (Galatians 5:24 NKJV) This matter of crucified with Christ is both an initial crisis event and a continual process. Those who have been baptized into Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. In Paul’s words, 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. Christ’s victory over sin and death to sin frees those who are IN Him from the chains that once held them bound.

A wife is free from her husband at death, etc. A slave is free from their master at death. At death, all contracts are off, and all ties that bind are broken. Christ, in our place, died to sin, and we share that experience. We share in all that He accomplished on the cross. When we are IN Christ by Spirit baptism, we share in Christ’s history of victory over sin and Satan in the same way that we formerly shared in Adam’s slavery to sin and Satan. In times past, we were empowered and influenced by the spirit of disobedience, but now God works in us both to will and do His good pleasure (compare Eph. Receiving the Holy Spirit places us IN the Body of Christ, impacting our lives with the same force for godliness that our first birth in Adam impacted us for ungodliness. Paul explains to the Corinthians, “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:13 NKJV) This is how a person is placed IN Christ. This is the One Baptism we read about in Ephesians 4:5 that all other baptisms point to (so to speak). God’s method to remove a person from Adam and place them in Jesus Christ is Holy Spirit baptism. The born again are of the generation of Jesus Christ, the second man. By first birth, we are of the generations of Adam, the first man. When we are born again (born from above), we trace our humanity and spiritual identity back to Jesus Christ, the last Adam. From our first birth, we trace our humanity and spiritual identity back to Adam. Sometimes the John 3:3 experience is called being “born from above.” The language is perfect for describing the profound change because it entails the idea of a new father and a new genealogy (if you will). Jesus said unless a person is born again, they cannot see the Kingdom of God. One of the reasons why it is so important to emphasize the Biblical meaning of the John 3:3 style born again experience is that vital changes occur in the person born again. (Galatians 5:24 NKJV)īy which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
