Romans 8:5-8 NIV
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
What do you focus on? Is you day spent chasing after worldly pleasures with no thought for what the Holy Spirit has for you? Or are you so wrapped up in what the Lord has that you forget to chase after what the world tells you is so important?
6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
When we follow the spirit, we have peace. Only when we do whatever we want to we start to worry about the consequences of our actions. Rarely to we think it through ahead of time. Obeying the first time leads to peace.
7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
Though our actions cannot earn salvation, our actions can please God. Just like child can please his/her parents. If we chose to live to please only ourselves we cannot please God.
God Bless.
