If Christ be in you...

Rom 8:10  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

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.

The body is dead.

If we have Christ in us, the body is dead.

Yet, the body being dead isn't in a literal sense, right? The flesh nature, the carnal nature, the sinful nature, our bodies are dead in this way if Christ is in us. To say we are dead if we have Christ would leave Christ with no living followers and that's not possible. We live IN CHRIST and when we live in Christ our selfishness must die completely. The part of us that must live is the SPIRIT because it is our SPIRIT that joins with CHRIST'S SPIRIT and in doing so we become a part of CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS. We have no righteousness of our own in our own carnal, flesh bodies, it doesn't exist. There is NOTHING we can do to give ourselves righteousness.

The SPIRIT of our GOD raised JESUS from the DEAD, this is the SAME SPIRIT MUST LIVE IN US.  IF the SPIRIT of our GOD who raised JESUS from the dead LIVES in us then we will also LIVE. Our bodies that are subject to death will one day be filled with life all by HIS SPIRIT that lives in US.

LIVING in the SPIRIT is everything! Because only then are we LIVING in our SAVIOR.

We MUST live in the SPIRIT, not in the flesh. 

Think about that. 

We are NOT to live for our flesh!

We are to LIVE for GOD!

We are to LIVE in the SPIRIT!

Is it easy? No. Surrendering self isn't easy. Killing a part of us so that another lives, it seems all but impossible, right?  And it has to be this way because we cannot lay claim to any credit for any righteousness of our own, including surrendering our selves.  We must cling to CHRIST and it is through HIM and only through HIM that we will live and be able to surrender ourselves to HIM fully.  We choose and HE does all the rest!  PRAISE GOD!

IN HIS LOVE! ONLY in HIS LOVE! By HIS GRACE!

More tomorrow by HIS MERCY!

If any man have NOT the SPIRIT of CHRIST he is none of HIS

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.

The carnal mind.
The mind that is focused on self.
The mind that is concerned only with things of this world, things seen.
The mind that is in all of us and will dominate us if we do not surrender ourselves to Jesus Christ.
The carnal mind is ENMITY against God.

'Enmity- The state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.'

The carnal mind is ACTIVELY OPPOSED to God, is ACTIVELY HOSTILE to GOD.

Our minds if left UNREGENERATED, UNRENEWED by our SAVIOR are opposed to things spiritual, opposed to God and all things to do with God.

Our carnal minds are NOT subject to the law of God.

Our carnal minds CANNOT be subject to the law of God because the law of God is SPIRITUAL!

How can a law be spiritual? We think of things as being spiritual and not truly real.  Yet God's laws are spiritual and very real.

We have a lot of laws, don't we, books and books of laws.  We know the laws of our lands as a general rule. We know it's against our laws to steal, to murder, to assault others, etc. God's laws also require us not to steal, murder, or assault others.   Yet man's law does NOT require us to add love to the law. Man's law does not tell us not to steal out of love for our fellowman, it just tells us it is wrong and not to do it, nothing to do with love.  God's law requires love from us and this is the spiritual aspect that we must have, the aspect the carnal mind in us cannot have.  The carnal mind is selfish and loving others is something it CANNOT do because it is fully self centered. 

The mind that is not spiritual cannot love as love is truly meant to be- as God would have love be.

Rom 8:8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Those centered on self cannot please God because they have no ability to love selflessly.

We get the ability to love selflessly from GOD, who is love.

God will give us the ability to love selflessly, to live spiritually.  This is the promise of God, the gift He will give to us when we make the choice to accept all He has to give to us, and in that acceptance choose to believe by faith in His promises.  We choose to believe in the GIFT of His SON JESUS CHRIST. In choosing to believe in this gift we believe in that selfless sacrifice He made to save us.

We must believe. We must have faith.

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.

We MUST have the SPIRIT of GOD in us! 
If we do not have the SPIRIT of CHRIST in us then we are NOT HIS.

We cannot live to our flesh.
We must live to the SPIRIT of God.

Spiritual living, love.

Satan will constantly turn our minds to things of the flesh, to carnal things, demanding that we do not live spiritually. Satan will make it seem impossible for us to live Spiritual lives. Satan will use his every means to keep us from the LOVE of God.

The law of God is spiritual, we must be spiritual as God is spiritual, through HIS power, HIS SPIRIT power alone is this accomplished, and we must submit to HIS power and allow Him to work in us. 

Please LORD live in us.

All by YOUR grace, YOUR mercy, all in YOU.

Please LORD live in us by the sacrifice of Your Only Son, Jesus Christ our LORD, our SAVIOR.

ALL IN YOU, ALWAYS IN YOU.

Pray for us, Lord.

Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

2Co 4:18  ... for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

The carnally minded are only concerned with the HERE and NOW, with all the things that will pass away, with all the things they cannot take with them in death. 

The spiritually minded are concerned with the things which are NOT seen here and now, with the things that are eternal, with thing they will take with them in death and wake with when Christ returns for them.

To be carnally minded is to embrace eternal death.
To be spiritually minded is to embrace eternal life and peace in Christ Jesus.

How many people are embrace eternal death every single day as their focus forever seems to remain upon this that are seen, things that are only temporary?

We do know this…

Rev 20:7  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

The number of wicked, the number of carnally minded will be with Satan at the very end and their number is…

AS THE SAND OF THE SEA.

And we also know this…

Mat_7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.

We do have HOPE that we will NOT be numbered among those who will be as the sand of the sea, and that HOPE is found solely in our SAVIOR, our SAVIOR who came to show us, to teach us to live our lives SPIRITUALLY in HIM, through HIM, by HIM.

Don't you see how important it is to live SPIRITUALLY?  It's so much more important than our living physically, and I know even as I write that how incredibly strange it must sound, but it's truth!

What do we gain by being alive if we are not spiritual?  And if we are spiritual we know that the physical world we live in right now is only temporal and not eternal.

You can have your physical life but you will take that physical life to that great day when Satan gathers all those that are his to fight against God, who has already won.  That great day will end in fire and all the wicked will be burned to extinction. The carnal, the physical life they've cherished will mean absolutely nothing because it will not exist any more.

Where should our focus be?

On things ETERNAL.

God will take care of the rest.

Easy to say, right? But truthfully when we obsess about the 'rest of things' the things not eternal does that obsession do any good? It gets us all caught up in the cares of this life and takes our minds off where?  Eternal things. 

The worst of the worst can happen to us physically in this world, the absolute worst and it can't keep us from things ETERNAL unless all that horrible, awful, terrible worst of the worst stuff takes our minds off things eternal- off our SAVIOR and all HIS PROMISES that are focused on the eternal.

Please LORD help us keep our minds focused on things ETERNAL, not on things that are temporal! Please LORD.

Please!

Satan would have us, Lord! SAVE US!

Please Lord, Pray for US!

Luk 22:32  But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Pray that our FAITH- our looking for things unseen- will NOT FAIL.  Help us LORD to strengthen those around us as YOU convert us to do so!

Please LORD, bless us!

PLEASE LORD, have mercy on us, we don't deserve it, we will never deserve it, never! All by YOUR GRACE! YOUR LOVE!

PRAISE YOU GOD!

Walk after the Spirit

Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Walk not after the flesh.
Walk after the Spirit.

We are flesh, but not flesh only.  If all we were was flesh then we wouldn't have the power of reason within us. We wouldn't have things such as feelings. Seriously. If you take away the emotions, if you take away the ability to reason- what's left?

We have names for people who seem void of all emotion- psychopaths is one of those names. We most definitely call it unnatural when a person seems void of all emotion. When a person has no ability to reason for themselves we call them mentally handicapped, because reasoning is all a part of being what we call a 'normal' human being, or even and 'average' human being, a human being in the general sense of the word.

When you think of a person as being a person we do not normally envision those who are severely mentally or emotionally challenged.  If I told you to imagine a person your first idea would be to imagine  someone probably like yourself- someone who has the ability to reason to the point you can read this with understanding.  True, you could be a very intelligent person void of emotion, but that isn't what people imagine each other to be on the scale of being the average human being.

We are NOT just flesh or else we would be just thoughtless flesh creatures. 

When people by one means or another lose the ability to think- when they become brain dead, do we consider them to be normal? No. They've been altered from the state of normalcy. 

The point being here is we HAVE to admit that we are more than flesh and blood, we are SPIRIT beings. And yes, I keep harping on this, but I have to. I, like so many people; I, like  MOST people have become a person who pays very little attention to my SPIRIT side, especially on a day to day basis. Considering myself a spiritual being isn't something that comes naturally to me.

We are told NOT to walk after the flesh, but to WALK after the SPIRIT.

Don't we have to be in touch with our own spirit self in order to walk after the SPIRIT?

Walking after the Spirit is seeking God in all things, in all aspects of our lives. 


Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

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.

The law of the Spirit of life - in CHRIST JESUS makes us FREE-  Free from the law of SIN and DEATH.

Does this mean we will not die?  No. 
Living in Christ Jesus, walking in the Spirit, takes away the condemnation that is given to all who sin.  We have HOPE. Without Christ we have NO hope of eternal life, no hope at all. 

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.

The ceremonial law did not have the power to save, it all pointed to the LAMB of GOD who alone could save. You could keep the ceremonial law forever but it could NOT save anyone. It was shadow of things to come. 

Our Savior came in OUR likeness, not as a Spirit only being, but as a FLESH being as well. In the LIKENESS of SINFUL FLESH, and for SIN, HE condemned sin while in that FLESH.  He led a PERFECT MORAL LIFE adhering to every single one of God's moral commandments! He failed in no aspect of the moral law, NONE.  He did NOT sin and what is sin?

 1Jn_3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

HE DID NOT TRANSGRESS THE LAW!  This made our Savior SINLESS.

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.

The righteousness of the law IS likewise fulfilled in us when we WALK after the SPIRIT, because then and only then are we walking after our SAVIOR. 

We choose to walk after the Spirit, we choose to walk after Christ Jesus our Savior.  This is a very conscious choice, not something half-hearted, not a fleeting thought of a choice, but a very real choice to LIVE for CHRIST and NOT for our selves, not for our flesh!

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.

If we live to please our flesh then we are NOT walking in the Spirit, we are NOT walking in Christ. If we live for the here and now, not mindful at all of our Savior who came to preach the gospel, the kingdom of heaven, then we are living after the flesh, the very temporary flesh.

We have to LEARN to mind the things of the SPIRIT!  In all aspects of our lives! This as to be paramount, minding the things of the SPIRIT, not of the flesh.

Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Don't you see, we have to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED!

Being SPIRITUALLY MINDED is LIFE and PEACE!

When our minds are focused on the flesh and not focused on the Spiritual we are in fact focusing on death, not life in Christ.

This world has a lot of pain. 
Around every corner there is a new experience of pain- emotional, mental, physical agony.
Satan wants us to focus on the here and now and live solely for here and now and not for life with our SAVIOR after HIS RETURN.

This life is TEMPORARY to ETERNITY. 

Is it any wonder we are to LOVE.  Love is the only thing that will follow us to eternity.  All else on this earth is temporary.  LOVE and only LOVE will live on.  And it's no surprise really, is it? GOD IS LOVE! 

We are promised a future, a PAINLESS eternity, not a painless here and now. We will suffer horrifically in many ways in our lives, and even if that suffering seems to be lasting forever, it is truly, truly TEMPORARY to eternity!

We must walk after the SPIRIT, all by the GRACE of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! ALL in HIS AMAZING LOVE!

Blessed be the name of the LORD!

All Glory to GOD!

All praise! All honor! All thanksgiving to GOD on high!

In His LOVE!

Oh, wretched man that I am

Rom 7:17  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

This is the plight of an APOSTLE!
Why do we ever try to imagine we would have a different experience?! 

Rom 7:19  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Jesus spoke directly to Paul in a vision. Paul was left blind by the encounter and then given back his sight by another man sent by God to him. 

And Paul struggled with SIN!

Paul was fighting the good fight that we ALL must fight.

Paul was recognizing the SPIRITUAL side of His life and knew that the moral law was spiritual. He also knew that he was powerless to keep from sinning … on HIS OWN!

He fought against the fiery darts of Satan and recognized the source of the spiritual warfare.

Rom 7:20  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

'It is NO MORE I that do it------- but SIN that dwelleth in me.'

He's warring! The spiritual desire to be sinless and following all of God's spiritual moral laws was paramount to Paul. He didn't want the sin in HIM. He didn't want the fiery darts to get through the armor and pierce him. He recognized his forever weakness, but did NOT use that as an excuse to give in to sin.  He did not say he is a being that can't help but sin so why bother even trying to keep from sin. 

Rom 7:21  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

Rom 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

DELIGHTS in the LAW of GOD AFTER THE INWARD MAN.

Do you delight in the moral law of God? Is keeping the moral law of God something that delights you? All too often we fear or abhor the law of God because it becomes something of a great impossible weight to bear.  Or it keeps us from delving into pleasurable sin and do not for one moment even try to believe that sin holds no pleasure.  If sin held no pleasure it'd be very easy to keep from succumbing to it, right?

Do you delight in the moral law of God? 

Paul states here that he delights in the law of God AFTER THE INWARD MAN.

Spiritually HE delights in the law of God.  Spiritually he recognizes the love of God in every single moral law that exists. When you see the beauty of the law of God, when you recognize the LOVE of God in the law you can't help but delight in such amazing, overwhelming love that is directed right at us.

Yet the flesh side of us that wars against the spiritual side does not DELIGHT in the law of God!

Rom 7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

There is a law in Paul's MEMBERS that wars against the law of his MIND!   Yet, our hands and feet, and any other part of our body does NOT act independently to our mind, does it?  Barring cases of demon possession, it is our own mind consenting to the sin of the flesh, right?  The war is between the flesh and the spirit!   The flesh desiring things SELFISHLY, the mind knowing that we should be SELF-LESS.  There is a war, a constant war between the selfish and selfless part of us.

Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

We are truly condemned if left on our own because we CANNOT be selfless on our own, the idea of being selfless or trying to created a selflessness inside of ourselves can stem from a SELFISH desire! We are POWERLESS to save ourselves!  We need to recognize this powerlessness and do so NOT in order to soothe our conscience with we sin, but so that we recognize our NEED of a SAVIOR and when we sin, we CONFESS, we REPENT, we SEEK FORGIVENESS knowing we've done wrong. 

Rom 7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

NEVER did Paul ever ONCE intend these verses of his to be used to endorse sinfulness, NEVER!

He was recognizing his NEED of a SAVIOR who SAVES to the uttermost!

We need this recognition!

We need this acknowledgment that while we delight in God's law and our sinful nature wars against that, we have to surrender to our SAVIOR who can live in us and save us from all sin! He does what we absolutely CANNOT do, but HE never gave us the endorsement to sin. He told those he encountered and healed to ' GO AND SIN NO MORE' ! Would our Savior tell them to do something that was impossible?! No, He would not!

Is it any wonder we must constantly pray? Praying always, in all prayer and supplication?!  It isn't truly any wonder, it fosters hope in a constant connection to our SAVIOR!

Go and sin no more.

Thank GOD through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.

With our mind we MUST serve the law of God, not make excuses as to why we don't have to, or shouldn't, or that something is wrong with the law of God. Our SPIRITUAL self must SERVE the LAW of GOD.

The flesh, OUR flesh may serve the law of sin- the sin that makes us weak to temptation, that makes us desire sin. 

We must learn to surrender to our God and live in Christ, wholly in Christ.

All by HIS will!
IN HIS LOVE!

The moral law is spiritual

Rom 7:14  For we know that the law is SPIRITUAL : but I am carnal, sold under sin.

The law is SPIRITUAL.
Without Christ we are carnal- spiritless. We are lost in sin without any hope at all. We are flesh beings with no real substance at all.

The law is SPIRITUAL.
Keeping the moral law, the moral commandments, goes far beyond the keeping of the ceremonial laws.  People love to entwine the two so they cannot be separated and that means that the moral laws as well as the ceremonial laws were all nailed to the cross and done away with.

A little bit of logic, a little bit of sincere studying would reveal the truth of the matter.

The ceremonial law that pointed to our Savior's arrival and purpose was done away with when our Savior arrived and lived, died, and rose again. 

The moral law didn't point to our Savior's arrival and purpose, it was a revelation of love to all.

Most people have no trouble at all agreeing that the moral law is just that except for the pesky weekly Sabbath law. If they'd just study further they'd comprehend that the Sabbath was instituted LONG before the ceremonial laws were given in full. The Sabbath was part of CREATION week, and as long as this earth and all that in it exists the weekly day of rest will exist.  It was put in the MORAL law for a reason.  The ceremonial law had it's special Sabbath's different from the weekly Sabbath of the moral law.  You have to study to find all this out, it's not something that is just known, and if people aren't willing to study then they are NOT seeking to know the Lord their God as they should.

The law is SPIRITUAL.  The moral law is completely spiritual, it was created from the love of God.  The moral law will reveal our sinfulness in many, many ways.

Rom 7:15  For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

Does this sound familiar to you?

Do you ever do things you hate, but do them anyway? Do you ever do things you know are wrong, but do them any way? Do you wish you didn't feel the overwhelming compulsion to do things that you do knowing that they are not the things God wants of you? 

This is all a part of our Spiritual existence, this BATTLE.

The spiritual and physical interact a lot, there is no doubt about that. 

Rom 7:16  If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

IF we did things in our life that we wished we hadn't done, if we do things we wish we didn't do, then we are AGREEING that there is a moral standard that exist in US that makes us feel the weight of the sinfulness of the things we do.

If you feel bad for yelling hateful things at someone, you feel bad because you know it wasn't right to do so. How do you know it wasn't right to do so, because you are feeling bad about it and if it was right to do it, you would not feel bad about it at all whatsoever. What makes it wrong? The harm you are bringing to that other person, the emotional, mental harm you are throwing at another human being.

True there are always exceptions, and it's factual some people love to be hateful and would feel not the slightest bit bad about slinging hateful words at someone. Those people are given totally over to sin and are completely blind to the truth, and yes, those people exist in far greater numbers than anyone might want to even think about.

The spiritual moral law reveals ultimately how we are to interact and treat God and our fellow man, when those spiritual laws are broken, by the grace and mercy of God we are allowed to feel the weight of our wrong doing in breaking those laws. Because only when we feel the weight of sin do we realize it's awfulness and we can begin to comprehend in some small way our helplessness. When we recognize our helplessness we can understand that we need to be helped.

We do things we don't want to do all the time and this truly reveals the spiritual moral law to be GOOD.  We are being shown the wickedness by the goodness. 


Rom 7:17  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Rom 7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

The law reveals our sinfulness and our Savior reveals our HOPE.

More tomorrow on this all by the GRACE of God.

We need to comprehend how truly SPIRITUAL we are called to be, and we will all through the HOLY SPIRIT, and the LOVE of our SAVIOR, and the FATHER GOD!

All glory to GOD!

Wake up, Spiritual life.

Spiritual living. 

We all seem to have a handle on the physical side of life. We know what it takes to keep ourselves alive. Our spiritual side of life isn't something we concern ourselves with because it isn't essential to our physical life. Our emotional state of life is important because if we get too unstable mentally or emotionally we can endanger our physical life. Yet, you don't hear many people touting how life important our spiritual side is. Our spiritual side has been successfully buried by Satan.

We wouldn't dare tell someone that their life depends on their spiritual well being because they'd think we were crazy, especially if we believe what we are saying.  They might chuckle and roll their eyes a bit and then say ah you're talking about the after life.  But we aren't just talking about the 'after life'.  We are talking about our LIFE right here and now.  What people don't seem to want to concern themselves with too much is the fact our LIFE right here and now determines our 'after life'. 

Too many people want to wait for the 'right time' to become spiritual. Too many make decisions concerning their spiritual life that have nothing to do with their every day life.

The truth is our spiritual life is more important than any other aspect of our life. 

Our spiritual life is more important then our physical life.

When our physical life is over, the sum of what our spiritual life has been is what matters. Just being alive does not guarantee us salvation, it does not guarantee us eternity in Christ.

Our spiritual life and our spiritual way of living is more important than ANYTHING.  If we are called to choose between our spiritual life and our physical life we must choose our spiritual life without fail, but will we do that if we barely even care that we have a spiritual life?

Php_3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ

ALL thing are counted but loss, NOTHING means more than our knowledge of Christ Jesus our LORD.

Mat_16:26  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Luk_9:24  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

Joh_12:25  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

These words are so incredibly important and yet people just don't seem to care much about their spirituality.

We focus on our worldly life, our flesh life, NOT our spiritual life.

When we wake up we don't have our minds focused on the spiritual part of us waking up, do we?

Most of us haven't even been taught about our spiritual self, so how could we think about our spiritual life as something that needs tending to just as our physical body needs tending. We could no more live physically without doing anything to keep ourselves alive than we can live spiritually without doing things to keep our spiritual life alive. 

Our spiritual life is extremely important and now that we've established that, or at least I hope we have, we will continue on…  tomorrow by the GRACE of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!

IN HIS LOVE!

May we learn of our spiritual life as a real part of us and learn how to tend to this part of our life so that we may live fully IN CHRIST.
