ARE YOU LIVING ACCORDING TO SINFUL NATURE OR SPIRITUAL NATURE

Romans 8:5-6

 ‘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’.

Verse 5, talks about those who live according to the sinful nature of their minds, they relay on the things from the sinful nature, which is the law against Gods righteous law. But those who live according to the Spirit, their have minds set on things on what the Spirit desires for them. Which is living accordance with Gods will, because if we live in accordance to the Spirit we are living the will of God.

Verse 6, talks about being carnally mind but what does that mean. “Carnally mind” means sinful minds. In this verse it talks about how the mind of sinful nature is death. Because those who live according to the flesh do what the flesh desires of them, which leads to sinful nature. ‘ For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’. Romans 6:23

But the minds that are controlled by the Spirit is life and peaceful. That is because the gift of god is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. Unless we have a Spiritual life that desires for us the will of God to be done in us each day, than we have no life we become man who only live according to flesh not the Spirit of God.
