Subject: What does it mean to kill flesh daily? |
Bible Note: Kalos, I think this part of your answer: ... "Paul writes: "I have been crucified with Christ." "Have been crucified" -- past tense. Paul here is not teaching that we are in a continual process of BEING crucified. He says, "I have been crucified." Have been. Past tense. Not will be, might be, should be, am in the process of being -- I have already BEEN crucified."... misses the point of the question. Jesus made it clear that we must on a daily basis in our daily spiritual struggle put to death the things of the flesh when He said: "And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me." Luke 9:23 I think the question was more a pastoral question living our daily lives in Christ than a theological question about Christ's salvific work on the cross. Emmaus |
