The mysterious unity with Jesus Christ

Jesus is. Believe it. He can turn it around for you. Believing is first step to following. By believing that Jesus is, and then keeping the teachings of Jesus, His crucifixion becomes yours. He died for sins once and for all. Believers who follow Him and hold to the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of those Jesus sends are beneficiaries of the death Jesus died on a cross for sins. His death effectively becomes your own death because you become part of Him. He shares Himself with His followers, His disciples who keep His teachings. They become united with Him spiritually so the crucifixion He suffered and death He died is theirs too. It is then as if they themselves died that death for their sins. The death sentence for any serious sins is something that already happened for them. It is as though they have already been executed for their sins. This is how He turns it around for them so even though God requires a death sentence, that death sentence has happened in the past. They are executed. Now they can live to obey Jesus. Jesus says “Go and sin no more”.
