At The Cross: Satan Out, Christ In
By Tammy Lacock
This week, Warren Litzman makes it plain and clear exactly what God did at the Cross. We must look to the Cross to understand God’s boundless and unconditional love for each and every one of us. By Christ’s death and resurrection, the sin-nature (Satan nature) passed down through the generations from Adam’s curse by Satan, is literally uprooted and replaced with the incorruptible seed, Christ. This is what it means to be saved, born again. By just believing in Him, we are made brand-new creations and bona fide sons and daughters of God, to live eternally—now and in His heavenly home.
Jesus was more powerful in His death than when He was alive. By Christ’s death, we are no longer bound by Satan and this world. When Christ died, we died too, to our old lives operated by Satan. We have a new Operator in Christ. In Him, there is no more sin and death for us.
It’s important to understand that God didn’t change our minds when we got saved. Our spirits were saved, being joined to Christ making us one spirit in Him (1 Corinthians 6:17), yet our minds have a lot of catching up to do. The Apostle Paul makes this clear throughout his epistles, helping us understand our new life now in Christ. Now as new creations in Christ, and by the help of the Holy Spirit, we must now allow the Holy Spirit renew our minds, by letting go of the old knowledge of good and evil, sin and death, which we were cursed with by Adam’s sin. We look to the Holy Spirit to replace it with a new knowledge, “the excellency of the knowledge of Christ,” as the Apostle puts it in Philippians 3:8, “Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.”
God wants us to come back to life. Our minds have been corrupted and now need a full housecleaning. Christ living in us now brings us back into the awareness of our status as God’s bona fide sons and daughters and therefore, our inheritance of eternal life in Him. Satan’s knowledge of good and evil no longer can take hold, once we decide to give our minds over to Christ and begin living our new life in Him.
