In the fifth episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff explains how our "old man," or sinful nature, was crucified with Christ, freeing us from the power of sin, the law, and the world. He shares his vision of seeing himself in Jesus during His crucifixion, illustrating how we are spiritually united with Christ in His death and resurrection.

Understanding the death of our old self is key to living a new life in Christ. Romans 6 emphasizes that we are "dead to sin" because of our identification with Christ's death, a truth that can transform our relationship with God. Now, as a new creation, we can embrace our new identity in Him.
