Many people talk about wanting a “new life,” but few realise that the path to transformation begins with surrender. In The Way to the Cross, Beatrice Lecheko shares a powerful truth: before we can live fully in Christ, we must first “die” to our old selves.
What It Means to Die With Christ
Dying with Christ doesn’t mean physical death — it’s a spiritual transformation. It’s about letting go of old habits, toxic thoughts, unhealthy attachments, and the parts of ourselves that no longer serve God’s purpose. Just as Jesus laid down His life so we could have eternal life, we must lay down our old ways to experience the fullness of His promises.
This isn’t an easy process. Surrender requires humility. It means admitting we don’t have all the answers and choosing to trust God’s plan over our own. But the reward is worth it — because on the other side of surrender is freedom.
Embracing the New Life
When we die to our old nature, we make room for God to do something new. Fear is replaced by faith. Pride gives way to purpose. Worry is transformed into worship. It’s a journey that requires daily choices — choosing forgiveness over resentment, patience over anger, and faith over fear.
Beatrice emphasises that this transformation isn’t a one-time event but a daily process. Each day offers an opportunity to die to self and live more fully for Christ.
Living in Resurrection Power
The beauty of the cross is that it doesn’t end in death — it ends in resurrection. And just as Jesus rose from the grave, we too rise into a new life filled with purpose, peace, and power. This resurrection power gives us strength to overcome challenges, courage to pursue our calling, and boldness to live without fear.
Living in resurrection power also means seeing yourself as God sees you — redeemed, chosen, and equipped. The mistakes of your past no longer define you. The pain of yesterday no longer controls you. Through Christ, you are made new.
Your New Chapter Awaits
If you feel stuck in old patterns or weighed down by past mistakes, it’s time to let go. It’s time to surrender everything that’s holding you back and step into the abundant life God has prepared for you.
The way to the cross is not about loss — it’s about gain. It’s about trading your brokenness for His healing, your weakness for His strength, and your plans for His perfect will.
