       Again, Paul said, “We know that our old self was crucified with him.” So, this is the marker of a believer, one who has had their old self, the way they were before becoming saved, they have had that self crucified (put to death). If our old person is now dead, we should not seek live like we did beforehand, right? I mean, that’s only common sense. We shouldn’t be seeking the perspectives of the world, the views of unbelieving friends. There should be a clear change of character, on the shows there is something different about us. Paul told the Galatian believers, “those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:24, ESV). (Now, he is talking about evil passions and desires, not just any passion or desire). Of course, this is something that has to happen overtime, as we bring our flesh into subjection to what God wants.
