Question #32: What is the difference between dying to "self" and dying to the "Body of Sin?"
Self is a "person;" while the Body of Sin is a "thing." Dying to self is to die to all that we are, and all that we do—willingly. This may be called sin in our will. Dying to the Body of Sin is to die to all things that we are and do—unwillingly. This may be called sin in our members. (See Romans, Chapter 7.)
Throughout her writings, Jane Lead demonstrates how the Holy Seeker and Loving Inquirer can achieve both; and she thoroughly explains the process in Heavenly Cloud Now Breaking, and Fountain of Gardens, Vol.2: where she explains that it can only be fully and perfectly accomplished by the Spirit of the Resurrected Christ, which was promised by the Father in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament by the Lord Jesus Himself.
