Put to Death the Deeds of Sin

Romans 8:13 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.

When we live according to the flesh it's such a put down on GOD. HE frees us from this bondage to sin (abusive relationship) and then we return to it.

We must put to death those area's of the flesh that try to dominate our lives. In doing this we're allowing the Spirit to reign in your life and there is victory for those who are in Christ JESUS.

Put to death the deeds, this is the same as, to[1] reckon as dead. Romans 6:11 It's a play on the word die[2] written before it. It's like saying, [3]If you do not kill sin, it will kill you. Like what GOD said to Cain;

Genesis 4:6-7 So the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."
