The Cross of Christ  

Most Christians have an understanding of the Cross in connection with Salvation. How many Christians have an understanding of the Cross in connection with Sanctification? How many Christians are walking in victory, after the Spirit? How many instead, are walking in defeat, after the flesh? The meaning of the New Covenant, which is the meaning of the Cross (Gal. 1: 11-12), was given to the Apostle Paul. The Holy Spirit through Paul addresses many of the Epistles almost exclusively to the Cross of Christ and how it (the Finished Work of Christ at Calvary) refers to Sanctification. This should tell us just how important the subject of Sanctification truly is. Let us first examine the terms "walk after the Spirit" and "walk after the flesh" as found in Romans 8:1 " [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" and Romans 8:4 "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
