Here we are told that our reconciliation came through the body of Jesus. This reconciliation is tied to the mind, or soul, and illustrates the relationship between the body and the soul. While on the cross, Jesus' body was made sin for us so that we can live for righteousness. The body is very important in our Christian experience. It is only through our body that our soul can find its rest and follow the human spirit in the things of God.
Sin still remains as our number one enemy.
The sin which is still active within us after our salvation must be dealt with or we will fail to possess the land of promises. It is achieved the same way as it was for our spirit, and soul. The first is to receive personal revelation on the body. The next step is to present your body to the Lord for the purpose of allowing the Holy Spirit to enter it through your spirit and soul. Sin is not to be dealt with on an itemized basis, much like we go down our grocery list while shopping.
