The Spirit of Christ lives in you. He has become part of you. He can do no sin. Your flesh can do no good.
Your carnal nature is no better than mine. Your carnal nature isn’t sort of bad. It’s evil. It’s wicked. So is mine.
Paul didn’t identify with his carnal nature. And neither should you identify with your carnal nature. You HAVE a carnal nature, but you ARE the Christ within. Your carnal nature is no better than mine. Your carnal nature isn’t sort of bad. It’s evil. It’s wicked. The carnal nature you have can do no righteousness. It can be openly evil or it can be self-righteous, but it can’t please God.
The Spirit of Christ lives in you. He has become part of you. He can do no sin. He only does what’s right and good.
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. ~ John 6:63
You can’t reform your carnal nature. Your carnal nature must die. It must fade away.
The Christ in you can do no sin. Christ, Who is born within you, can’t sin. You must identify with Christ and not with your fallen fleshly nature.
Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, ~ Romans 8:5-6
