A Second Look at the Cross

Galatians 2:20- NKJV- I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;

By our identification with Christ, we don't mean that we identify ourselves with Him (though in a sense we do), but that God identified us with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection. God saw us crucified when He saw Christ crucified; God saw us raised when Christ was raised. Identification then is first and foremost the was God sees things and not the way we do!
