Redemption, Set Free

Besides having Christ formed in you, you also need the Holy Spirit to purify you. When you obey the Holy Spirit and deny your fleshly nature, your fleshly nature dies. You’re purified and set free. Redemption refers to setting a slave free. God is setting you free from your carnal, fleshly nature. We have been slaves to the fleshly nature, but the fleshly nature is dying. Your fleshly nature is dying. Many Christians try to improve the fleshly nature, but that’s an exercise in futility. It’s equivalent to trying to bring light to a room by sweeping out the darkness. Darkness doesn’t sweep. You must turn on the Light. Light does away with darkness since darkness is the absence of Light. Your flesh must die. Your fleshly nature is going away little by little as the Light shines. You’re redeemed as a slave set free. The Holy Spirit builds up Christ in you as your flesh dies. Your flesh dies by the Holy Spirit being active and alive in you. Your flesh dies by the Holy Spirit doing the works of God through you.

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. ~ Romans 8:3-4
