My old person has been nullified

English1180

My old person has been nullified;
With my Lord upon the cross he died;
Now in nothing shall he be applied;
He’s dead to me.
My new Person in my spirit dwells;
Springing in me as a bubbling well;
Flowing out until each part He fills
With abundant life.
Christ, my Person, in my spirit lives;
And my heart to Him I’d daily give;
That my inner man could have a home
And a place to settle down, yes,
A place to call His own, and—
There be my complete reality,
There expressing all He is to me,
Living in my heart abundantly
As my Person real.

By this Person being formed in me,
I’ll a member of His Body be,
No more acting individually,
But with the saints.
More and more our Person He must be;
That our natural personality
Be eliminated thoroughly
Till Christ is all.
Only Christ, our Person, must remain;
From our aims, our goals we must refrain,
Till the church be only Christ Himself
Built up as the one new man,
Thus fulfilling God’s great plan of—
Mingling fully with the human race
To obtain a proper dwelling place,
’Stablishing His kingdom’s rule and grace;
Over all the earth.

Not Himself just individually,
But the church together corporately,
Taking Christ as all in all, to be
The full-grown, perfect man.

THE NEW MAN

-------------

The Bible never says that there are many new men. The Bible tells us that there is only one new man (Eph. 2:15). This one new man is not an individual; he is a corporate man, and this corporate new man is the aggregate of all the God-men. When we put all the God-men together, we have one man. This one man is called “the new man” (4:24 ; Col. 3:10), referring to the new mankind. Adam was the old mankind. All his descendants are one with him to be the old man. Today we, the believers in Christ, are all one with Christ to be the new man.

Created by Christ

-------------------

The new man was created by Christ (Eph. 2:15). To understand how the new man was created, we need a detailed definition. We were born the old man. One day we heard about the Lord Jesus, we believed in Him, and we received Him into us. He is the very embodiment of God (Col. 2:9). This means that when the Lord Jesus entered into us, God came into us; God was imparted into us. On the one hand, the divine element was brought into our being, and on the other hand, Christ terminated our old nature on the cross. Hence, Christ terminated our old nature and imparted God into us as the new element. By these two things Christ created us to be the new man. To create us, the sinners, to be the new man, our natural person, our natural being, had to be crossed out, and God Himself had to be imparted into us. This is the constitution of the new man.

OUR OLD MAN HAVING BEEN
CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST
------------------

Romans 6:6 says, “Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin as slaves. ” Through the death of Christ, our old man has been terminated. He has even had a funeral. Do you know that our old man was crucified with Christ and buried? If we believe that we are in Christ, then we must also believe that our old man has been crucified with Him. Whether or not we feel that this is so, it is a fact that our old man is dead and buried. Therefore, Paul says, “Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with Him. ” In Christ, our old man has been put away.

THE BODY OF SIN
BEING ANNULLED
-------------------

Because our old man has been buried with Christ, the body of sin has lost its job. It has been annulled because the sinning person, the old man, has been crucified. The body is not the sinning person; it is the sinning instrument, the means by which a person does sinful things. But now that the person has been buried, the body of sin is unemployed. This means that we are freed from sin. Since our old man has been crucified and buried with Christ, we are freed from sin. This is the main point of Romans 6 .

Praise the Lord!

We all must grow up into Christ in all things, let Him grow in us, and do everything in oneness with Him and out from Him.

Lord, gains us a group of people who take Christ as their life and person and who express Christ, live Christ, and manifest Christ in oneness 🙏

Now in nothing shall he be applied;

Colossians 3:5a Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth

He's dead to me.

Galatians 5:24 But they who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and its lust.

footnote «have» [... ] The crucifixion of our old man and the “I” is a fact accomplished by Christ on the cross, whereas the crucifying of our flesh with its passions and its lusts is our practical experience of the fact. This practical experience must be carried out through the Spirit by our executing of the crucifixion that Christ accomplished. This is to put to death by the Spirit the practices of our lustful body with its evil members (Rom. 8:13b; Col. 3:5).

We have to tell the old man, “I am not your house for you to live in. I am your tomb for you to be buried in. ” (The Experience and Growth in Life, Chapter 16, Section 2)

Our natural person need to be fully eliminated untill His person will remain.

Refrain from our own aims and goals for Christ to fully gain the church as the one new man.
