Flesh or Spirit?
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in
the Spirit.
1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached
also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the
flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
Dead in sin- alive
in the Spirit!
Living according to
God IN THE SPIRIT.
Tit 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,
disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and
envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God
our Saviour toward man appeared,
Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus
Christ our Saviour
Flesh serves lusts
and pleasures.
Flesh lives in
malice and envy, is hateful.
Spirit serves God.
Spirit lives in
mercy, saved by Jesus Christ- washed regenerate- renewed of the Holy Spirit.
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation
in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great
love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
The PAST should be
fulfilling the desires of the flesh, the mind.
The PRESENT
quickened with CHRIST, living in HIS mercy!
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was
weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful
flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be
fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
WALK AFTER the
SPIRIT.
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the
things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the
Spirit.
Do WE mind the
things of the flesh?
Or
Do WE mind the
things of the SPIRIT?
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace.
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.
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.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead
because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Christ in us we are
Spiritually alive.
Christ in us our
flesh is dead.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to
the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of
bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we
cry, Abba, Father.
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our
spirit, that we are the children of God:
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God,
and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be
also glorified together.
Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be
revealed in us.
Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature
waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Please LEAD us by
the SPIRIT OF GOD!
Please, through our
SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST!
