We Are The Children Of God Living In The Presence Of Holy Spirit


Roman: Chapter 8, Verse 5-16

Verse 5-8: For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh can not please God.

Verse 9-11: But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Verse 12-14: Therefore, brother, we are debtors - not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if the Spirit you put to death the deads of the body, you will live. For as many are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

Roman: Chapter 12, Verse 1-10
Verse 1-3: I beseech you therefore, brother, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God had dealt to each one a measure of faith.
