How can I explain this?
The best way to describe on the cross was an identity swap.
As Christ became everything you were, you became everything He is.
Christ willingly became your sin and took your sickness, cancer, mental illness, unforgiveness, bitterness, depression, guilt, unrighteousness, anxieties, dumbness, poverty, weakness etc. He was crowned King of the Cursed in short.
While you became Him and have His righteousness, redemption, wholeness, peace, love, forgiveness, wisdom, joy, healing, prosperity, strength, faith, mercy, knowledge, hope etc. He crowned you with His Crown and keys to the Kingdom. You have spiritual gifts through Him now.
As Christ became you, you became Him. He lives in you and you in Him - either way, your old life is dead - the old man has passed away - and now... you get to live His life as He lives through you.
