"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." Romans 8:5-6Those who seek to fulfill the desires of the flesh (soul) will reap pain and suffering, until they are finished off by death.
But those who seek to obey the Spirit of God, that is, practice what the Word of the Spirit has inspired them, will enjoy the present and also the eternal salvation that is to come.
Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteWe have been recently learning about the heart and the mind and I finally understood this passage, when it was explained that the flesh which is your heart can not see therefore it can lead you to all sorts of trouble but the Spirit which is your mind has eye in order to see the future of your decision. This has truly opened my eyes.
