Scripture Post #54: *DIE TO LIVE*

Romans 8:13: "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."


Note: This Scripture was from Paul, a servant & Apostle of Christ, to all that were in Rome - Rom. 1:1 & 7. 

"…If ye live after the flesh, ye shall die…" (Live to die.)
To live after the flesh is to live after sin. And sin brings forth death - James 1:15: "Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." Rom. 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

"…Mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." (Die to live.)
To mortify the deeds of the body is to die to sin - Rom. 6:2 "…How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
