Subject: why do we sin when sin has no mastery? |
Bible Note: You write: "We must choose to crucify the flesh daily." Yet Paul writes in (NASB) Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." "I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED" -- not "I crucify the flesh DAILY." "I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED" (past tense). Again, writing in (NASB) Colossians 3:3 Paul says: "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God." "You have died" -- not "you ought to die." "HAVE DIED" (past tense). NASB Romans 6:11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. AMPLIFIED Romans 6:11 Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. |
