3 Crosses

Romans 6:6-7 (NIV) 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[Or be rendered powerless] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
When one accepts Jesus Christ, It is like this Jym Wells for 38 years wallowed in the pig pen [sin] for 38 years. I did drugs, I drank, I smoked, I cursed, I lied, I cheated, on and on and on… So now it says in Romans 6:23 (NIV) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in [through] Christ Jesus our Lord. So the old Jym Wells was nailed to the cross with Jesus. Now I Jym Wells has a choice I can be the thief on the right or the thief on the left.
There are 3 crosses, the thief on the left cursed Jesus and died a sinner and so he chose Hell. The thief on the right asked Jesus to remember him when He went home and Jesus said today you will be with me in paradise. All three died on their Cross. However there was a difference. The thief on the left died and went to Hell, Jesus was resurrected and the thief on the right died as well however he accepted what Jesus was doing and so the old man died on the cross as well however a new man was born, thus the phrase BORN AGAIN.
So there is no way one can be a drunk and a Christian, or a doper and a Christian, a bank robber and a Christian or even a murder and a Christian. Those are called Oxymoron, unequally yoked. one can be one or the other one can not be both.
I hope that this makes it a little clearer now the old sinful person, when that person accepts Jesus as his/her savior, hangs on a cross and DIES [is no more] and a new person is BORN AGAIN. Old thing passes away [dies] all things becomes new [born again]

This old woman dead too she used to do the very same things that old man did. Dont miss it one bit!!~ I am so thankful that God didn’t give up on me!! I would not be here today because I should have died a thousand deaths!!~ Thats why I love the Lord. He had his hand on me all the times I was doing that stuff that I called fun. But I found out the devil was trying to kill me and that why he kept saying you cant live for God He wont take you you will fail him you cant stop drinking, and all that other stuff I had been doing. I believe that lie util I found out that’s why I was so miserable trying to drown my sorrows. But when truth came out I got made and the fight has been on ever since!!!
