Christians have not learned the double bearing of death and resurrection in themselves if they do not see that being dead with Christ is the entire putting away of the old man. As a believer I am a crucified, dead and buried man, my old self put aside forever.
God looks on me as identified with the life of Christ and tells me all the things which this life has made mine blessed “with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Eph. 1). “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Cor. 6:17).
G. V. Wigram
