ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT
....in order that the requirement of the Law mighty be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 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.
Romans
8:4-5
As humans it is impossible to walk above sin because we are controlled by the human mind. The
Word of God states that "the heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick..." (Jer. 17:9) This is because we have inherited from Adam a sinful nature. We sin from the center of our
soul.
However, Father God has provided for us. He sent Jesus, our Lord and Savior, to take sin upon
Himself. He died as a sacrifice for all sins. He has set us free from sin and death.
When we receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, He gives us a new heart. We can receive Holy Spirit to
lead and strengthen us. As Paul stated in verse 5 of the scripture in Romans,".... those who set their mind on the things of the Spirit." As we walk in the Spirit, we are able to overcome the things
of the flesh and to live a victorious life in Him.
We must always remember that we are spiritual beings. When the flesh is gone, the spirit lives
eternally. Sow to the spirit and overcome the things of the flesh!
Apostle James
