For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified in relation to the world, set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others and fitting into the little patterns that they dictate. Can't you see the central issue in all this? It is not what you and I do—submit to circumcision, reject circumcision. It is what God is doing, and he is creating something totally new, a free life! All who walk by this standard are the true Israel of God—his chosen people. Peace and mercy on them!
Gal 6:14-16 The Message BibleWhat is "crucifixion" to us besides an historical event in the life of Jesus? The writer to the Galatians suggest that "crucifixion" is like "transformation" in the sense that it cuts us free from the expectations of culture. We are
set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others and fitting into the little patterns that they dictate.
And just as the "resurrection" that followed the "crucifixion" of Jesus was an act of God, so our own transformation is an act of God:
God is creating something totally new, a free life!
Transformation is freedom! How free does our faith make us?
