Fighting God – Romans 8:7-9
Vs 7 – To be carnally minded
means you will find yourself fighting God.
The carnal mind is not and will not subject or obey the law of God. The battle is for control. The carnal mind cannot submit to God because
it must be in charge.
Vs 8 – So when a person walks
in the flesh they cannot please God. Pride,
sin and disobedience are a straight path to destruction.
Vs 9 – Paul then commends the
Romans by saying they are not of the flesh but in the Spirit. Here, Paul makes it clear that the Spirit of
the God dwells in us. We are the temple
of the Holy Spirit. Those who however do
not have the Spirit are not Christ’s. It
is clear the Holy Spirit will only dwell in a willing heart.
