We as born again Christians are called “to die to sin.”
We are called “to die to the deeds of the flesh,”which is “sinful behavior.”
Our first man nature in Adam is like a natural brute beast, which is meant to be taken and destroyed. Either you get busy “dying to self and to sin,” or you will be destroyed.
Our first man “is flesh,”and it is written that no flesh shall be justified in the sight of the Lord. Just as Jesus came to “condemn sin in the flesh.”
Meaning if you are still walking “in the flesh,”then you are still “under the condemnation of sin.”
If you are born again of the Holy Spirit, then you are no longer “in the flesh,” and therefore you will no longer be “serving sin.”
We are servants to whom we obey, either of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness, and we are “marked” according to whom we serve.
Like Abraham, who was ordered by God to offer up his only begotten son; we too are ordered to “put to death”our firstborn man, which is flesh and carnally minded. And we are told to present ourselves a “living sacrifice.”
The Lord came to kill that first born nature in Moses, and to also remove that rudy red man image in David. It was the “firstborn”of both man and beast that was destroyed by the Destroyer in Egypt because they had not the blood of the Lamb on their houses.
It was also “all flesh” that was destroyed in the flood of Noah’s day as a sign of things to come when God shall destroy the “wicked sinners”of the earth by fire in the last days. Just as the Lord said by Isaiah, He is coming to destroy “all the sinners”out of the land.
Don’t you know when you are baptized into Christ, you are baptized into His death? Meaning that old man of sin nature in Adam is supposed to be “put to death in you.”
If that old man of sin is dead in you, then you will no longer be “serving sin”and living to the lusts of the flesh.
If you are made a “new man” in Christ you will now be living in righteousness, having “put to death”that old man of sin.
So get busy dying daily to sin and to self, and put to death the deeds of the flesh, and destroy the body of sin that is in you.
And beware, that if you build again that which Jesus Christ came to destroy in you, then you shall be found to be a transgressor, and you shall be destroyed if you do not repent!
Galatians 2:17-18
King James Version
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? ((God forbid.))
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.”
