How do we die to Christ?
Dying to Christ means surrendering our will in place of His will. It means acknowledging that everything that comes from ourselves is evil and the only true good comes from God. We need to empty ourselves of all sins and barriers that prevent us from being true worshiper of God. Once we have emptied ourselves, there is the necessary next step of filling ourselves with the Holy Spirit. This means asking Christ to live His life through us, because we cannot do it on our own. If we just exterminate our sins, but do not fill ourselves with Christ, we will have accomplished nothing: our sins will retain with more power than before. This is why it is so important to die to Christ and carry our cross daily. We need to ask God to keep us close to Him and shield us from the many evils in this world that threaten to rear up and choke us. This is why it is fully necessary to commit ourselves to Christ everyday.
