Do Not Fall in with the Fallen Man

"Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come." (Romans 5: 14)

This death has been finished forever in the Body of Jesus Christ, we died our death in order to free us from the curse of the law:

"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." (Romans 6: 6)

In Christ, we are born again in our Spirit man:

"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." (Romans 8: 9-10)

As believers, we still walk around in a fallen body:

"[God] shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." (Philippians 3: 21)

We also have a fallen mind:

"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." (Romans 8: 6)

So, we are called, therefore, to renew our minds to the truth of who we are in the Spirit:

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12: 2)

Every day, we are called to submit our lives to the Life of Christ within us. We need no longer fallen in with the fallen man. Yet even if we do fail:

"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Romans 5: 20)
