Romans 8:6-7. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, Romans 1:28. Verse Concepts. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave ...
Romans 8:5-10. King James Version. 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. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God ...

“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want” (Galatians 5:16-17). It's no secret, we need help if we are to win over the desires o...
“But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ” (Philippians 3: 7-8). Paul seems to have left no stone unturned in his pursuit ...
“Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Wrestling with fleshly desires is a daily exercise. We cannot rely on past victories to cushion us from the struggles ahead. We must relinquish control of our lives each day and yield to God’s will and supremacy...
Crucifying the flesh involves shifting our focus from earthly things and setting our hearts on the things above. While contrasted against each other, the two are as different as day and night (Colossians 3:1-3). We are to set our hearts on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). Pa...
Without self-discipline, it's impossible to crucify the flesh. Take an athlete, for example, they do not live a carefree life. They constantly exercise, take medical checks, and restrict themselves to a particular diet. They do this to remain in ship shape in their quest to win the race (1 Corinthians 9:26-27, NKJV). Paul too subjected his body to ...

New King James Version. 6 For to be [a]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the [b]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit ...
Jun 5, 2014 · The unconverted—those who set their minds on the flesh—cannot experience true life either now or in the age to come. Fleshly minds do not submit to the law of God (Rom. 8:7). In fact, they do all they can to suppress it and its conviction (1:18-3:20). Moreover, the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God. It cannot please the Lord in any sense.
