A Christian does not live in the flesh. A Christian can do sinful things but they cannot live there. A Christian lives in the realm of the Spirit of God. All responsibility to the flesh has ended because believers live in this new realm.

On the narrow road the believer's responsibility is to live a holy life by means of the power the Spirit provides. The responsibility when carried out in faithfulness will result in a life of increasing obedience and conformity to Christ's character.
