This isn't a poll. It's a question I'm interested to hear your answer to.
Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.
Colossians 3:1-5 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth, for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him.
So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.
We have died and our life is hidden with Christ in God, and even though we have died, we are to put to death whatever in our nature belongs to the earth.
Is this putting to death of our sinful nature a once-off thing or an ongoing thing?
