is original to me. I don't know where I got
this, but I wrote this down in my Bible with
this verse so I would never forget it. Here's
that definition again: “At conversion, every
believer crucified the flesh in that they repented
and renounced a life of sin.” Is that not true?
When we were born again, when we came
into the faith, there was a repentance
involved.
See, this is what I'm getting at here.
When Scripture says they have crucified the
flesh, that means there was a conscious
decision that they would renounce sin and
a life of sin and there was repentance. The
nature of saving faith includes repentance.
