"so the question may be asked, 'if we are indeed crucified with Christ and we no longer live, why do we still sin?' the answer lies in the fact that all believers still have flesh, and flesh is that corrupt principle within every person. the flesh is not who we are; it is what we live in. it is not our identity; it is our adversary. and so, we are told to die daily and go on putting to death the misdeeds of the body (the flesh) through the Spirit of God (romans 8:13). the flesh is not removed until the day we die; or, if Jesus returns first, it will be removed when we are changed 'in the twinkling of an eye.'"
