Colossians 2:10-12
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
As Believers we are “in Jesus Christ”, united to Him by God’s Spirit, therefore in Him we have all we need for a holy, wise, and spiritual life.
The “completeness” God has given us is the fullness of Grace, Power and Wisdom in Christ Jesus. We are to understand this and appropriate these things to ourselves and use them.
The flesh cannot be improved in any way. It deserves to die, and Jesus Christ by dying in our place as we align with it through water baptism has put our flesh to death and cut believers off from any connection with the flesh.
As believers we have a new heart, a new nature; we are separated from the old life, from the old man, from the old nature we lived before we confessed Jesus as Lord and Saviour, so we are to continue living that way.
This does not mean that the actual sinful nature within us is inactive, but we should engage in things that increases the power of the spirit above the flesh.
Since at baptism the flesh had already been buried with Christ To keep it continiously buried you must actively choose to obey the Word of God, live by the power of the Holy Spirit, and consistently focus your mind on eternal things rather than worldly desires and apply Conscious resistance to the flesh by treating the desires and temptations of your old nature as if they were dead, rather than giving them power over you.
As believers we are risen with Jesus Christ into a new nature, not a nature of sin anymore, but a nature of Holiness and Righteousness, this new nature is meant to be our continious lifestyle. Hallelujah.
Jesus Loves you
