Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.
God would have us chew on this word by applying and incorporating it into the many choices we have to make. No one could force you to do evil, for the time being because we’re free moral agents, and God has opened up the way through Christ, so that all who desire to right, could do so, in Him, and through Him.
Yes, we may have our struggles from day to day, but you can struggle without falling, for struggling is not a sin. God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present help in times of trouble, therefore, whenever those commanding voices terrorize you to do wrong, just remember the deed must first pass through the gate of your choice.
We therefore end with a passage of Scripture that is meant to help us to live victoriously from day to day, and it is the will of God that from here on out we’ll consider, and appropriate the freedom of choice the Lord has given to us, by making choices, and taking actions, that are commensurate with righteousness.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
