It is the true understanding of All scripture that counts.
We must be able to use all scripture so it works out one Perfect picture!
That scripture is not toward the flesh as all flesh has a sin full nature and cannot help but sin, We are though opur spirit , to control the flesh and not allow it to sin!
This scripture is to our spirit.
Because, there is not a person on earth , who does not sin either in there flesh or minds at times!
But, Our flesh is counted dead on the Cross with our LORD and To sin? We must be under the law! We are not!
We have been set free of the law !
This appears to many to be too much?
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
He does not want us sinning of course!
And our spirit hates sin !
Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Sin still brings sickness and death to our bodies!
Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
This is to our Spirit , not our body!
1Jn 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
This also is to our spirit!
You see two different things are at work at once.
The spirit once Born of GOd is protected for ever sealed by the Holy Ghost .
But the flesh is not.
Still, He has provided for us , if we allow knowingly or even unknowingly our flesh to sin.
I say unknowingly because ? We can think a sin just as easy as doing a sin!
Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
NOW , I know this works!
Funny, How just an act of obeying can bring such great miracles in our lifes.
Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
You gonna remember? We are living the KINGDOM LIFE NOW!
We cannot think of our lives here as the world life.
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
This is very hard for some to see?
Joh 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Very hard to see our flesh , yet not see the true and eternal us?
That is why? WE must live by faith and not sight!
Not easy for many???
