(Lesson 2002)(04-26-17) Romans 8:9-10
"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness."
In today's quote, Paul made it positively clear that those of us who have given ourselves over to the care of Jesus Christ, by faith in Him, are changed in the spirit so as to have become wholly righteous in the spirit. Paul said, "if Christ be in you, the BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN; but the SPIRIT IS LIFE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS." That is the righteousness imputed into us by Jesus.
It behooves us to remember today's lesson as we continue this study through Paul's letter to the Romans. We should also remember that there is a great difference between sins of the flesh and sins of the spirit.~
