We've been removed.So you agree the sinful nature is 'surgically removed' as Wuest wrote?
J.
We've died as beings who are contained in fleshy bodies with fleshy brains (made of flesh). We've become alive as spirit beings, new creatures, and we still live in our fleshy bodies, but we are NOT the same Adamic humanity, we are a new humanity in Christ.
When He comes, when we are resurrected, we will be fully new, that is, including our body also, when we will no longer have to contend with the corruption of sin for the control of of body, the mind, the mouth, the hands, so forth.
The body remains, it's passions remain, and we have to learn to only fulfill those body desires that in doing so glorify God. Many body desires are fine, food, sleep, etc. Too much food, too much sleep, the list begins there, and includes all the works of flesh the Bible describes.
But we are removed into Christ, where, if we do not yield control to the old man, we will serve God doing righteousness.
When we commit sins, it's because we've forgotten we've been cleansed of sin, which is deceptive lust of the flesh. It's not our desire, its a fleshy desire.
Much love!
