"What shall we conclude then? Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. Through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life." Rom 3:9; 8:2-10; 6:20-22
FULL OF THE SPIRIT AND HIS POWER CALLS OUT SIN
"when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" John 16:8-9
DECLARE "I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, And of justice and might, To declare to Jacob his transgression And to Israel his sin." Micah 3:8
DETACH “Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. And He taught in their synagogues...preaching the gospel of the kingdom. 'If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched-where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched-where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire-'" Luke 4:14-15; Matt 4:23; 18:8-9; Mark 9:43-47
DELIGHT "My son, if sinners entice you ('They hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord. They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.' Prov 1:29-30), Do not consent. My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path. Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke; and Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him..." Prov 1:10, 15, 20-23; Is 42:1
