I belong to???? Christ Jesus or ????Galatians 5:24; 6:14

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   Okay, wow!  This next verse really is powerful.  Here is the life application translation: Galatians 5:24 "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there."
  To accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior, we need to turn from our sins and willingly nail our sinful nature to the cross.  Have you done this, or are you still hanging on to some things?  Guilty!  I tend to hang on to some things and my prayer is that with the strength of the Holy Spirit I will let go.
  Our sins will still pop up, and accepting Jesus does not mean we are "sin free" it means our sins are paid for through the blood of Jesus.  Daily, even hourly, we need to give our sins over to Christ as the tendency lingers.  Give these passions, these desires, these sins over to God's control so He may crucify them and allow us to overcome them.
  The world is full if enticements trying to lure us in..    Our escape is the same as Paul's, asking God to take them and allowing God to kill our interest in them. Galatians 6:14 "As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.  
   POWER IN THE WORD!! POWER WITH GOD!!!  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and grace
