A spiritual mind this is our hope

Rom 8:7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

This is TRUTH.
A mind set upon the flesh and all that entails without any thought for the Spiritual, cannot please God. We have a SPIRITUAL birth, a SPIRITUAL life and those who are strictly carnal minded will NOT be able to comprehend the SPIRITUAL, they simply can't try though they might. Without faith it is impossible to comprehend.  They might try to understand but there will be something missing, something huge missing from their understanding of things spiritual.  They are blind and unable to see, deaf and unable to hear.  Just as one who is physically blind and deaf from birth never to have seen or heard they cannot fully comprehend what it means to hear or see, they simply CANNOT it is an impossibility!  So why do we expect those who have never seen or heard spiritually to comprehend what it means to belong to our Savior, to be His, to have the Holy Spirit in us, guiding us, loving us. They can't. All they can do is pretend they understand and reject what they understand.  All they can do is pretend while living carnally focused.   They will not be subject to the law of God, because they cannot know His love-  THEY DON'T WANT TO! 

If WE turn back away from the spiritual life  we have had our hearts open to, is it any wonder it would be worse than never having a spiritual life? If we turn to the flesh and forsake the spirit we are of the flesh and cannot please God.

We choose. It all comes down to choosing.

Rom 8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.


Spirit of God dwelling in us.  This is our HOPE.
