Romans 8: 13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
The Mid-Acts Perspective allows the called of Jesus Christ to gain an understanding of the glory of God in His Son through His Spirit in His New Creature: the Body of Christ, that few saints outside of said Perspective are ever able to get a solid grasp of as to the Father’s intent via the Mystery.
In this, what Paul is relating in Romans 8:13 is based on much more than what he has laid out in Romans 6-8. Rather; it is actually based on much more, found throughout Romans thru Philemon.
That whether or not we will be able to live unto the Lord in the capacity the Father has enabled us to in His Son through the Spirit is determined by whether we attempt to stop sin our flesh in our own strength whenever it comes calling, or we attempt to do so through the Spirit.
If we attempt to do so in our own strength, we’ll end up setting off sin in our flesh: we’ll die spiritually; our flesh having revived to win another of its endless battles against the will of God, and we miss out on all the above.
Why have we been left with this “problem” until the redemption of our Body?
God intentionally designed this process to work consciously on our part of the equation.
This conscious, “die daily” process, not only allows Christ to reign in us to His glory before all creation; but to our ever conscious awareness of our “daily” need for our comfort and victory in Him to our glorying in Him “daily!”
In this, Gal. 2:20 is the perfect bookend, to Romans 8:13.
