We are called to please God and to be victorious over our sinful human nature. The secret is to live as the Spirit of God leads us. Are you willing to obey?
- And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it.
- Those who obey their human nature cannot please God.
- But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, (even though your bodies are going to die because of sin).
- If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then He who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of His Spirit in you.
- So then, my friends, we have an obligation, but it is not to live as our human nature wants us to.
- For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die;
- but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live.
- Those who are led by God's Spirit are God's children.
