Consider this

[Amanah]

I'm reading a book by Watchman Nee: The Normal Christian Life
Published in 1977 by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

Nee tells us that God has given us a dual rememdy for our sin problem.

First the blood that was shed washes away all our sins.
But because of Adam we still have a sin nature.
Next we must reckon ourselves to be crucified with Christ.
It is a fact that we were crucified with Christ.
So while the blood does away with our sins,
the cross does away with our nature to sin, making us free from sin.

"the blood deals with what we have done,
the cross deals with what we are." (Nee 14-15)

thank you Jesus that I am cleansed from sin and free from the sin nature that I inherited from Adam.

I was crucified with Christ, it's a fact. Lord today as I go about my day,
help me to remember that my old nature is dead, and because I am dead, I am not a servant to sin.
I am your servant.
