A particular way of life

Those who according to Paul are “in Christ” are called to a particular way of life that shows forth the power of his name, the boundless riches of his love, the merits of his death, and the sure and certain hope we have in his resurrection. This way of life is cruciform — that is to say, it bears the marks of Christ’s crucifixion (“Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus” — Gal. 6:17).—Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion, 566
