Why do you never emphasise the Holy Spirit in this. He is your strength, your power to live a Godly life for he sanctifies you.
Yes, there will be a cross for you, a particular something God wants you to do with your life. How are you going to do it? In your own strength? Will you achieve in and of yourself obedience?
Can you sanctify yourself?
God wants the glory, he cannot have it if you insist it is all about what you do, and not what he does in and through you

yes..this is where you do this
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
[SUP]18 [/SUP] But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
This is what changes us and puts the flesh under

While we were yet without strength Christ died for the ungodly Rom 5:6
You have been born again of the holy Spirit of course you know in your flesh you do bad things. But Christ is your righteousness from the moment you accept him as your saviour.
How do you cross over from being a slave of sin to a slave of righteousness?
We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles [SUP]16 [/SUP]know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in[SUP][d][/SUP] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. Gal2:15-17
Faith in Christ and the spirits power, not your human effort

I'm not talking about Paul...I was talking about the old man...where in the world did Paul come from?
I said as you can see...that the old man is dead.....there is no more any old man!!...he died with Christ...as the scriptures say..so my point is if our old man died with Christ then the theory that our old man is still dying is not consistent with rational thinking....that is why I said is Christ dying daily like this supposedly still alive to us but dead in God's eyes old man...

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit Rom 14:17
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit Rom 15:13
to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit Rom 15:16
because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction 1Thess1:5
he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit Titus 3:5

I have a dead old man....and a new man now ...a new creation in Christ..and you have a new man too..when we get our mind renewed..good stuff happens to us in Christ! it's a blessing!...here is the new man..
Ephesians 4:23-24 (KJV)
[SUP]23 [/SUP] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
[SUP]24 [/SUP] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

I think it is kind of funny,
people are in another thread slammed a person claiming to be perfect
then you come in here, and they are preaching we must be perfect (by what they they are saying, even though they do nto literally say they are perfect)
sort of like you say one thing, but contradict yourself in another.
ugh,, no wonder people get so comfused by Christianity and what it realy is.

Ok...you obviously do not see the old man as dead no matter what scriptures say...nor do you see the new man..nor do you see with our new nature in Christ that He has made us righteous...
I do acknowledge that the old man died in Christ just like the scripture says...
Ok...keep on killing your already dead old man if you want to..it's ok...you can believe whatever you want...I choose to believe the scripture which says without a doubt that the old man died with Christ..

I want to take this idea in our hearts and minds we have the law. Jesus called us to be His people, heart, mind and soul, yet the church seems to find it very hard to walk correctly. So I do agree the Lord transforms us within, but we can sear our consciences and become hypocrites, or be humble and learn to walk. It is a complex mixing of all the influences and obedience do we begin to gain an insight. In my experience when you feel someone elses pain, when you laugh when they laugh, cry when they cry you begin to understand empathy.
A strange contradiction, we have the law within us but cannot keep it and stay in rebellion. Not exactly a successful formula. But what you actually want to do is junk scripture. But you cannot except by saying you have a perfect spirit and sinful soul, which again is simply disowning your humanity and denying the purpose of grace, to redeem everything.
You talk as if there is a formula, but as with all relationships it has many layers. Now I can only speak about myself, and I know to walk in the Spirit is to walk in life. Rather than overcomers you suffer from the fear of legalism and wish to banish it from the world when it is your history and shadow and failing. The Lord is the Lord of rules, commands, exhortations, encouragements, rewards, blessings. You want the rewards and blessing without the righteousness, which is the desire for winning a race without partaking in the struggle.
