Sin is not dead, No, sin is alive and working against the flesh but WE as Christians are dead to it! Amen. Throw a ball to a dead person and he is not going to catch it, he's dead! Throw temptation of sin at a Christian and he will not catch it, he's dead! We died on the cross with Jesus! The only way a Christian sins is when either by being unaware, off-guard or purposefully, he permits it. We need to start speaking the Word as the Sword of the Spirit to temptation like Jesus did, For example when men are tempted with lust they can say aloud "It is written, treat young woman as sisters with absolute purity" then do it! We not only speak the Word to Satan but we speak aloud God's command to ourselves and then stand in victory! We cannot bind Satan from tempting us but we can through the blood of Christ bind the POWER of sin over us and loose the POWER of Jesus in us.
(James 4:7) (Ephesians 6:11). (Romans 8:11)
