"The Flesh Is Hostile Toward God"
“The Flesh Is Hostile Toward God”
Blessings folk!
Set your mind on the things of the Spirit…
Rom 8:5
For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
There is more...much more…
Rom 8:6-8
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,
and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Paul is bringing it all together for us.
All the things he had said previously…
The mind set on the flesh is death.
The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God.
The mind set on the flesh does not subject itself to the Law of God.
The mind set on the flesh is not able to follow God.
The mind set on the flesh cannot please God.
Simple.
Forthright.
What is your mind set upon?
Do you always think about stuff?
Or, is your mind constantly dwelling upon the things of God?
The mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
A mind set on anything else will not provide life and peace.
Be not hostile toward God.
Seek Him.
Let your mind dwell and rest in Him.
Live the Life of the Spirit in peace.
