What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? 1 Corinthians 6:19. Therefore WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM by baptism INTO DEATH: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. LET NOT SIN therefore REIGN in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. NEITHER yield ye your members AS INSTRUMENTS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:11-14. FOR YE ARE DEAD, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3. Let's break this down and separate a few things. Our physical body was born in sin and will die as a result of that sin. Your body will not be saved and go to heaven. The spirit of man, your spirit hidden inside the physical body you use to get around, will "live" for all eternity. It will be a life of extreme glory in heaven with Christ, or extreme agony in hell, or more accurately, in the lake of fire. Your spirit controls your body and the body will do as told. Your body does have its own lusts and desires, but must submit to you. Only by acknowledging that through your love for sin, by default, you're a walking dead man waiting to die, BUT THAT CHRIST took your death sentence upon Himself, that you may be free of that death sentence, and live in Christ forever. Now here's the fine print catch, CHRIST OWNS YOU AND YOU MUST HAVE TOTAL SURRENDER TO CHRIST, TO BE ONE OF HIS. You are now His bondservant. You have no more say, to sin, but must walk WITH Him in Growing CHRIST LIKENESS. In THAT Life, you will, Be Blessed.
