I would suggest that you take one of the elements of your “dead body” as an illustration for yourself as you read on. It may be a harmful habit. It may be a disruptive attitude. It may be a destructive relationship. You know what it is. When you are completely honest with yourself, you know at least one area of your life where your “body” is dead because of sin. You know of at least one thing in your life that is not in harmony with God’s purpose for your wholeness in the image of Christ.
