Just let me know when you want to get deeper into this.
Much love!
Why on earth would I want to go deeper about the body?
I live in this body, this used to be a body that housed a spirit that was spiritually dead...therefore in sin.that was my old nature was it not?......therefore my body followed its sinful nature did it not?
I now follow my new nature that is in Christ....once I became Born of the Spirit.
I’m still in the body, yet dead to sin....how can a Born Again continue to sin if they have Born Again of imperishable seed...?
It’s our spirit that needs to be Born Again not our body?
This body houses the Holy Spirit, because my spirit was Born Again, therefore free from sin.....this body has nothing to do with sin...as it’s dead to sin.
How can the Holy Spirit live in a spirit that is still in sin?
It’s our spirit that has received the new nature in Christ...not our body...our body just houses the Spirit?
We sinned in our old nature..so, how can we continue to sin in our new nature, ?
Our new nature is in the Spirit not in the flesh.
My sin is on Jesus he bore all of my sins, took them all upon himself...past, present and future .....the slate has been wiped clean and I am right before Almighty God.
The blood shed the death and resurrection of Jesus is what reconciles us back to God...we must be Born Again then all sins are forgiven...Born of the Spirit....the old nature lives no more, we have a new nature that new nature is in Christ..
We are Born Again in our spirit not our intellect.
A Born Again abideth in Him because they have been Born Again of imperishable seed that abideth and liveth forever.
That means the Holy Spirit liveth and abideth forever in our hearts/ spirit.
The Old Man of Sin is Dead and Gone
“For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that our body of sin (our sinful nature) might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin.” Romans 6:6
1 John 3
King James Version
3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
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.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
