What does dying in the Cross really means?

If you read the bible the word of God has so many parables.

For me dying in the cross is dying to your old ways.

Jesus said if you want to follow me pick up the cross and follow me.

Picking the cros is not literally picking it and carry it but it has a more deeper meaning in it.

We have to die from our sins a new you.As it is written be yeah transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Dying in the cross is having the fruit of the spirit in us...Galatians 5: 22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other". and in Galatians 5:19 "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God".

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Praise the Lord...God has given His son as a sacrificial lamb, by giving His son to die in the cross for the atonement of our sins.
John 3:16 "16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
