In this sermon I Have a Body on My Back, we learn about the battle between flesh and sin. The custom of ancient tyrants was to tie a dead body to a murder, placing the two back to back. The living man would have a dead body closely strapped to him, rotting, putrid, and corrupting. He would drag it with him wherever he went. This is just what the Christian has to do. He has a new life. He has a living and undying principle which the Holy Spirit has put within him. But, he feels that everyday he has to drag a dead body. A thing as loathsome and hideous to his new life, as a dead stinking carcass would be to a living man. Paul described the battle that he was fighting against his flesh and sin. He describes his fight as a condemned man sentenced to a slow death, rotting, stinking horrible and putrid. If the offender was found guilty of murder, they would chain the body on him right there. He would walk out of the court room with a body chained to him. All of humanities problems come from the law of sin and death. It states that if you yield your body to sin, you become the servant/slave of sin
