For those who belong to Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and mindlessly responding to what everyone else calls necessities is killed off for good — crucified. Those who choose this unique individual spiritual journey must continually attempt to replace our physical foundations with spiritual ones. The Holy Spirit lives within us to do just this, as much as we will allow. "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives." Gal. 5:24-25 (NLT).
