FLESH OR SPIRIT

"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 8:5-6

Those 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.

To those who yearn

“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise, says the LORD; I will set him in the safety for which he yearns. Psalm 12:5

The oppression of the poor and the sighing of the needy have always called God’s attention. However He can only come to their rescue when they call upon Him. Salvation is for those who consider themselves lost. To these, the Lord promises deliverance NOW.
