Spiritual warfare is belonging to God and God took care of the fight between flesh and blood, and God's Spirit of life at the cross,
First he by Christ condemned all sin to the flesh, and then came back to life to give us new life in the Spirit of Chirst
[h=3]Romans 6:4[/h]New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]
4 [/SUP]We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
[h=3]Romans 6:11[/h]New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]
11 [/SUP]In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
[h=3]Romans 5:10[/h]New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]
10 [/SUP]For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
[h=3]Romans 7:21-25[/h]New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. [SUP]
22 [/SUP]For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; [SUP]
23 [/SUP]but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. [SUP]
24 [/SUP]What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? [SUP]
25 [/SUP]Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
So then consider by God from the death and resurrected Christ, first we are dead to sin nature, and then alive to God by the resurrected Christ, being right now born again in the Spirit of God, and serving God in Spirit and truth
John 4:23
Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the
Spirit and in
truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
John 4:24 God is
spirit,
and his worshipers must worship in the
Spirit and in
truth.”
Pretty simple yes, which is difficult for flesh self to give up, but if it is not given up and considered dead by the death, then how can one come back to life, if one does not believe that by Christ's death they also are dead to sin?
