The word flesh that Paul is talking about is our on selfishness, the desire to satisfy our on selfish pleasure.

It is impossible to be neutral. Everybody has a master, either God or sin. A Christian is not someone who cannot sin, but someone who is no longer a slave to sin We belong to God.

That pattern of teaching which resulted in their conversation. Doctrine profoundly affects our life. Our life tells the type of doctrine that has shaped it.

When we were under the law, sin was our master, now we are bound to Christ, he is our Master, and He gives us power to do good rather than evil.He is a skilled Craftsman and He trains, shape, and mold us in the finer points of his craft. We all choose a master and patterns ourselves after him. Without Jesus, we would have no choice Thanks to Jesus, we can now choose God as our Master. We can now enjoy a new life and learn how to work for Him. To obey wholeheartedly and to give ourselves fully to Him and to love Him. Like it says in Matthew 22:37 "with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Paul calls for a determined commitment. In our day to day confrontations with sin

We are no longer obligated to carry out those old motives, desiers, and goals. Let us consider ourselves to be what God has in fact made us.

Count yourself dead to sin means that we should regard our old sinful nature as dead and unresponsive to sin, because of our union and identification with Christ. We have a new start, and the Holy Spirit will help us become in our daily experience what Christ has declared us to be.

The death that Paul is referring to is the Death of the old self, the person we were before we were crucified with Christ.

Paul asked a question ( shall we continue in sin) when we are united with Christ, there is something that happens to the enter man that cause us to move away from the things we do and ways we use to live. Christ was and is sinless and because we are united with Him we are redeemed.

Baptism brings about our union with Christ because it let the world know that we are on the Lord's side and it brings about our union with Christ because we are baptized in His death and Resurrection.

Without law there is chaos, and chaos brings about disorder. The Bible says in 1st Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order. So yes there can be sin without the law.

In a family, the actions of the father will affect the whole family. how he spends the his paycheck. Does he pay the bills like he should. Is there food in the house. The action of the father will affect the whole family. Is there a father in the house. tho help raise the children.

God put us in right standing with himself. We could not do it no matter how hard we wanted to

It is important to embrace this truth because of John3:16 For God So loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This is the truth. Christ died for us at our worst because Is. 64:6 a clause says our rightousness are as filthy rags. And as for as our enemy, he is the master of lies.
