James 4:15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."

Let us remember that to have our sins not accounted against us we must be dead in Christ, what does this mean? What it means, is simply this, that our life now belongs to another. We cannot, not have our sins not accounted against if we are in our flesh.

We must be dead to our flesh, and new in Christ Jesus. We must take on the life of Christ Jesus not to have sin. There is nothing in our own merit that allows for us to do that, and not to be a sinner. It is a life of Christ Jesus imputed too us by his own merit earned faithfully upon earth. So we no longer exist, that is, our will, but instead the will of Christ leads us by Spirit, why? Because we are dead too our old self, hence, we are made new, in a new life with the life of Christ imputed too us, a spiritual life.

As our own hand cannot say let's go here or there, and make a profit, apart from our own body. Neither can those born-again into the body of Christ, they are a servant member of the body of Christ, not belonging to themselves. Any such self will of a body members would be pride of arrogance there life belongs to the body, and sins are not accounted against them, meaning Christ can call us home at will.

This is why these brothers and sisters had to be reminded their thinking was not of the mind of Christ when they sought new business ventures and profit as though they were separated and independently detached from the body of Christ Jesus. This foolishness was not of God, but earthly, and demonic, and its fruits were clear in their yearnings for jealousy towards other fleshly members seeking profit building kingdoms upon earth.
