In order to be risen with Christ we must have did with him, as the Apostle Paul said in Galatians 2:20 .
Therefore it is very important to know what being crucified with Christ makes possible for the believer .
Point 1. All of that death and separation from God that we received with Adam when he sinned and fell into death and separation from God, is taken into the grave and is left there, Then when we rose with Christ we rose into a whole new relationship with God the father though his son.
This is why we are called children of God.
