Romans 7:8
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Romans 7:11
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Romans 7:13
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Romans 8:8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
John 1:13
which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Romans 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.
Romans 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:
Romans 8:8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
For through the cross do we see the above verse that says all sin is condemned to the flesh? And that flesh period cannot please God?
So why are we trying so hard to obey in the flesh? I mean every time I tried to obey, I found me deep in sin anyone else?
I mean I was caught up in trying to stop sin in my own flesh, not seeing that by thinking about sin I was creating it all the more:
Galatians 6:8 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
Romans 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.
Romans 8:4
that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 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.
Romans 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.
Romans 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.
So how do I want to live here and now by the flesh or by the Spirit of God?
You all decide, I put scripture here for all to see and make their free choice as well
Love to all God’s way not my human self-way as was before discovering the truth of flesh is at war with God’s Spirit and is why Christ came to redeem us in the Spirit by giving us new life in the Spirit of God is we choose to receive this from God. A gift to all to receive if one believes.
