Here is a good time to review the “why.” Why are we doing this? I mean amputation, sure, but why do we need to be radical about it?
We are not seeking to be free from sin because sin is inconvenient or keeping us from personal goals. Nothing short of the Glory of God is our goal, and aim. So what is the worth of the glory of God? –any and all earthly comforts –indeed our very lives are not worthy to be compared to this ultimate goal.
Rom 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Certainly, this verse can include all suffering here on earth. But in the context of this passage (8:13 & 7:11-25) it is talking about our struggles with killing sin. So let us kill sin in a radial way for the purpose of the glory of God!
