The sentence of death passes, in the Cross, on the old nature in its entirety, as the new comes into being. This is the one only basis and groundwork for all carrying out in our practical experience of what that death means. Once for all let this be clear. Apart from the work done on Calvary, all working out of a death process in our own souls is only a false and dangerous mysticism. . . . “I have been crucified with Christ” (RV)–yes, long before I ever asked to be–glory be to God! and yet as freshly as if it were yesterday, for time is nowhere with Him. –Lilias Trotter, Parables of the Christ Life, page 5
