How amazing is this! This scripture is totally different than what we might think we would read in God’s Word! And it does mean exactly what it says!

The fact is, we are not in the flesh! A believer has the literal Spirit of Jesus living within his own person and is no longer ruled by a fallen human nature! We have been made alive by the living presence of our resurrected Jesus and released from the power of flesh. We are no longer in the flesh, but rather, we are in Christ Jesus. Paul continues to repeat this message because it is so crucial to our Spiritual understanding and because our human experience contradicts God’s declared truth. We are redeemed; we are God’s purchased possession!
