This is truth and we cannot denied that Paul said those things about himself and about himself and he did not say that at the road to Damascus and he did not say that at the time Barnabas was his teacher and his Partner in the Gospel and he did not say that when he was the apostle of the churches in Asia during his affiliation with them to go on the missions as they had decided. 

Paul said that at some time later in his life, but not before he realized that he was the apostle of Jesus Christ and he began to realise that his life is hidden in Him and he does not know what will happen to him in the tomorrows but Jesus Christ did and he will let him know when the time is right. 

So he had agree to follow and abide in the will of Jesus during his life, he decided to dedicate the rest of his life and his time to Jesus Christ and the Gospel...

I believe Paul died with Christ the instant his blindness left him and he became a believer. I believe it was then that he realized he persecuted the true believers and was living a life of tradition taught to him by the pharisees . He reflected his own  life after he heard Jesus calling his name and he repented and was filled with the Holy Spirit.

As Saul, on his journey to Damascus, came near the city, suddenly a light from the sky shone around him. 4He fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' 5Saul said, 'Who are you, Lord?' The Lord replied, 'I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting. [ It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' 6So Saul, shaking and astounded, asked, 'Lord, what do you want me to do?' The Lord said to Saul,] 'Arise and go into the city, and there you will be told what you must do.' ” (Acts 9:3-6).

“7Saul’s companions on the journey stood speechless. They heard the sound, but saw nobody. 8Saul arose from the ground. Although his eyes were open, he couldn't see anything. His companions led him by the hand, and took him into Damascus. 9Saul was blind for three days. He didn't eat or drink.” (Acts 9:7-9).

17Ananias went on his way. When he entered the house, he laid his hands on Saul. Ananias said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road you were travelling, has sent me. I come so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.' 18Immediately something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. Then Saul arose and was baptized. 19He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.” (Acts 9:17-19).

Instead of persecuting Christions ,he set himself out to proclaim the gospel.

When Jesus Christ died on the cross,you were on His mind!

God gives us all a free will to decide if we accept Him or not, but one thing is for sure ,since He died for everybody and knows everything,you were on His mind when he died for all the sins of mankind. This was the Fathers plan all along ,He would redeem His children from the slavery of sin through the death of His Son ( How much the Father loves us )

This article explains it very well..

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 
(Gal 2:20 NKJV)

You and I, who know Jesus Christ, have been crucified with Him. That person we were— that man of nothing but sin and guilt, nothing but alienation and separation—died on the cross with Jesus Christ when we were granted the faith to believe by the grace of God our Father. Here is the simple truth of the believer’s life: “It is no longer I who live.” It is no longer just I in this life. The life that I had, died on the cross. The life I live now is no longer me living—so much better, it is Christ who dwells in me.

This is a mystery; this is a great truth unveiled at last by the words of the Apostle. “Christ lives in me.” Love to meditate on that. Be more encouraged and come to greater wisdom and greater revelation, apprehending the extent of Christ’s influence on the believer. The Creator of the universe, the Redeemer of men’s souls, lives in me!

“And the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God.” We get up each morning trusting in Him. We face the things that confront us, trusting in Him. We go through the obvious and the perplexing and the unexpected, the routine and the impossible, all the while, trusting in Him. The Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for our lives grows and develops us so that we might trust him daily and work unto righteousness by our knowledge of him.

The intimacy of these truths are staggering, mind-renewing, and faith-building. Christ lives in and through us. What riches of grace that is! It defies imagination that God would come to live in and through a person like any of the sons of Adam! Words to describe our joy for our position in Christ slip and slide from our grasp. There is nothing like our relationship with Christ save for the Godhead itself: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Pastor Bob Hoekstra

Romans 6:17-18 (NASB20)
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted and after being freed from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What truth is being put forth in these two above verses? 

That the believer has been entrusted with a form of teaching, that if believed on from the heart, will set that believer free from sin and turn that believer into a slave to righteousness…

If this is the correct interpretation of these two verses, the understanding and believing this form of teaching would be most critical to one’s understanding and growth… 

Though this truth is explained further in the surrounding verses it is simplified in verse 11

Romans 6:11 (NASB20)
So you too, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

This is the form of teaching that if believed on from the heart, will set one free from sin…. Therefore if one is a scripture believing believer that one must believe this form of teaching if that one would be made free from sin, this being all according to scripture itself….

So it would come down to whether the believer is willing to believe this form of teaching from the heart?….

Seeing how scripture is correct and true, and there is no lie in scripture,  this freedom from sin and turning one into a slave to righteousness would all lay in the understanding and believing from the heart this form of teaching that scripture itself teaches, that being, one is dead to sin and alive unto God…

For he that has died is most assuredly set free from sin, this truth, believed on from the heart will absolutely do what scripture says it will do, and that is, set the believer free from sin and turn that believer into a slave to righteousness….

Be blessed in believing from the heart that form of teaching that will turn all sinner's into slaves to righteousness…

No we did not died with him, this is not possible because we were not yet born at the time he died. 

"Know ye not that as many of us that have been baptized into Jesus Christ,
were baptized into His death?
Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death:
that just as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life."
Romans 6:3-4

So our baptism is, now, our death with Christ,
and the new way we live is, now, our resurrection with Christ.

OUR  BAPTISM 

 

MARK 10:38  but  JESUS  said unto them you know not what you ask ---can you drink of the cup that I drink of---and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with---

--10:39-- and they said unto  HIM  we can and  JESUS  said unto them ---you shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of --- and with the baptism that I am baptized --- WITHAL --- SHALL  YOU  BE  BAPTIZED

 

LUKE 8:21  and  HE  answered  and said unto them ---MY  mother  --and  MY  brethren-- are these which hear the word of  GOD  and do it---

 

EZEKIEL 18:24  but when the righteous ---turneth away from his righteousness --- and committeth iniquity and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth shall he live ---all his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned --- in his trespass that he hath trespassed and in his sin that he hath sinned in them shall he die 

 

MATTHEW 7:21  not everyone that saith unto  ME  LORD  LORD  shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ---but he that doeth the will of  MY  FATHER  which is in heaven---

--7:22-- many will say to  ME  in that day  LORD  LORD  have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful works 

--7:23-- and then will I profess unto them ---I never knew you depart from  ME  you that work iniquity---

 

ACTS 3:26  unto you first  GOD  having raised up  HIS  SON  JESUS  sent  HIM  to bless you ---in turning away everyone of you from his iniquities---

2 TIMOTHY 2:19  nevertheless the foundation of  GOD  standeth sure having this seal  THE  LORD  knoweth them that are  HIS  --- and let everyone that nameth the name of  CHRIST  depart from iniquity ---
