"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh."(v.12)
Death in the flesh is not your own cause that separates it from death in its conventional sense. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."(He.9:27) Death implied in v.12 is taken in order to be conformed to the death of the Son.
"For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. (He,9:17) What is the testament or everlasting covenant between God and Man but a testament that is legally binding so death of the Son makes the covenant in force. It was what left unsaid in the covenant under seven days. All things in heaven on earth and lower parts have been considered towards the blessing bequeathed to man who is created 'after our image and after our likeness." It is with the latter part we are addressing so death is not our own cause but rather we place ourselves 'after the likeness of death, in order Christ may live in us. Flesh and its concomitant appetites have been laid aside so we may fall under the Law of the Spirit.
The superscription is what the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross has left as his bequest. The everlasting covenant between God and man stipulated blessing in Christ which is what 'fulness of time' indicates."But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,/To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons./And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father./ Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." (Gal.4:4-7) The Law of Moses was administered to a nation that refused to be taught; neither could the Man sent from God as fulfillment of law. The covenant is established and blessings under the testament give us the sonship.
The last line in the para beginning with the Law of Moses, read as follows:
"The Law of Moses was administered to a nation that refused to be taught; neither could they stomach the Man sent from God as fulfilment of law. The covenant is established and blessings under the testament give us the sonship."
