Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Remember, satan can solicit but he cannot force you to do evil. He could advertise on various platforms, and he may send human agencies to encourage you to gamble, but at the end of the day the choice rests with individuals….. [The Great Controversy pp 489] Through defects in the character, Satan works to gain control of the whole mind, and he knows that if these defects are cherished, he will succeed.
Therefore, he is constantly seeking to deceive the followers of Christ with his fatal sophistry that it is impossible for them to overcome. Let none, then, regard their defects as incurable. God will give faith and grace to overcome them….. We therefore end with a passage of scripture that will encourage all who are willing to live victoriously, for there’s no need to succumb to temptation, when God’s help and deliverance is just a prayer away.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. 4 That the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:5 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.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
