Summary
Zac Poonen teaches that the cross accomplishes four things, with emphasis on the crucifixion of the old man—our sinful nature inherited from Adam. Beyond Christ dying for our sins, believers are baptized into Christ's death, meaning our old self is crucified with Him so we are no longer enslaved to sin but freed to live victoriously. Poonen illustrates this transformative truth through his personal testimony about obedience and dying to self-will.
