Galatians 6:14 My only boast is in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus, our Messiah. In him I have been crucified to this natural realm; and the natural realm is dead to me and no longer dominates my life.

We have to reckon or count it to ourselves that what is true about Jesus Christ on the cross is true and applicable to us who are of his faith in this life (world) and in the one to come.

The world in its fallen nature must not affect us in anyway because we are dead to it and it's dead to us. We have to be serious about this such that we are not labelled as mere talkers and religious people with no evidence that we are Christ's.
