Galatians 6:14 - "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."

Many Christians today agree that they ought not to commit the sins of which the world approves. Yet they choose to remain on friendly terms with the world, and feel at liberty to enjoy its pleasures as long as they refrain from committing open sin.

They do not realize the most dangerous source of sin is the LOVE OF THE WORLD with its lusts and pleasures. The scripture says that the world has been crucified to us, and we to the world. Paul knew that when the world crucified Christ, he himself had been nailed to the cross with Him. He boasts that he now lives as one crucified to the world, and that the world, as an impotent enemy, was now crucified to him.

When the world crucified Christ, it crucified you with Him. However, when Christ overcame the world on the cross, He made you a conqueror too.
