You Begin Walking in Eternal Life Once You Make Jesus Lord
The flesh in us can produce a whole gamut of emotions and thoughts, from defeat, jealousy, greed, and lust to anger, inferiority, condemnation,, and arrogance. As long as we are in this physical body the flesh is active in us.
But we can rejoice because when Jesus died on the cross, the Word of God tells us in Romans 8:3 that He “condemned sin in the flesh.” All the negative thoughts and toxic emotions from the flesh have already been judged and punished at the cross. Today we can experience victory over the flesh through the power of the cross.
You can read all about the apostle Paul’s struggle with the flesh in Romans 7:18-19: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.”
Did you notice how many times the words “I,” “me,” and “my” are mentioned in just the two verses? I’m sure you can identify with the apostle Paul here in his struggle with the flesh. It’s the struggle we all face when we are occupied with ourselves and warring with the flesh within us. It’s a life of vexation, deep anxiety, defeat, and despair.
This is not where God wants you to live, my friend. A believer doesn’t live in Romans chapter 7. Through Christ Jesus, we should be living in Romans chapter 8. Let’s read on and discover how Paul broke free from this bondage of self.
Just a few verses later, Pau cries out in Romans 7:24, “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?” The answer is found in a person, and Paul tells us this person is Jesus (Romans 7:25): “I thank God – through Jesus Christ our Lord!”
Only our beautiful Savior, Jesus Christ, can deliver us from the flesh. And in Christ we can step into Romans 8:1: “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (NASB). This is where we as new covenant believers ought to live. Not in the domain of constant struggle and despair, but in the domain of no condemnation and victory.
