Freed from The Indwelling of Sin Part 3

Now ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, because the spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, the same is not his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead, because of sin: but the Spirit is life for righteousness sake. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

The Epistle to the Romans 8:9-12

Additional Scripture upon which to meditate;

Acts 2:24; 1 Corinthians 6:14

Good morning and greetings in the name of Jesus Christ

We read today that if we walk in the Spirit, we have life. This is a promise of God Himself. Once the carnality of our minds is put to death, and the renewing of our minds is put into action, we can see that the former ways are not ways that we should follow. Additionally, we have the promise by God, that our mortal bodies shall be quickened, that is to say made alive, reinvigorated, (a) to eternal life. How that will look, no one can say, for as the Apostle Paul writes we see things only in part. However, while at work yesterday, it was impressed upon the mind of this writer, that when God made us in His image originally, we had His righteousness, and His spirit, dwelling within us. By redeeming us unto Himself, we will once again have that perfect image that He had given us.

Friends, if you have come across this site for the first time, and have read the study today, and are now willing to make a choice for eternal life, then please pray with me.

Father, I have read Your words this morning. I acknowledge my sins, and confess them to You. I accept the sacrifice of Your only Son Jesus Christ as my Savior. Teach me Your ways and help me to learn more about You. Amen

Additionally, Strong's Concordance translates this word from the Greek as;

 suzoopoieo sood-zo-op-oy-eh'-o; to reanimate 

and from the Hebrew translation;

as chayah khaw-yaw' ; to live, whether literally or figuratively; causatively, to revive:--keep (leave, make) alive, certainly, give (promise) life, (let, suffer to) live, nourish up, preserve (alive), quicken, recover, repair, restore (to life), revive, (God) save (alive, life, lives), surely, be whole.
I particularly note the words “be whole” as it infers the meaning of being complete both in body, mind and spirit.
