8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
8:3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
8:4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
8:5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
8:6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
8:7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to Gods law, nor can it do so.
8:8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
8:9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
8:10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
8:12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligationbut it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
We are not part of this earth, we are from Heaven. Those people that keep their eyes on Heaven and what the Heavenly Father wants them to do, they will have tribulation, but the Holy Spirit will help you through it and give comfort while they are going through it, and a lot of peace, and some joy where appropriate. Those who pay attention to more of the earthly things, and not Our Heavenly Father, they are not his, they are more the adversary. But until you are judged on judgement day they are part of Our heavenly Father. Anyone here on this earth that pay attention to Our Heavenly Father a lot most of the time because we are sinners, so we say most of the time. Those that do earthly things are doing them in the flesh, not within the spirit. It is important to remember that Our Heavenly Father wants you on his side, and not to pay that much attention to earthly things but more of things to do with him.
Closing prayer: Heavenly Father we thank you for your word in Romans chapter 8. We thank you that you keep reminding us to keep our eyes. If we are careful we do not end up in sin, We pray all who read this understand it. In the name of our lord and savior we pray.
Prayer for salvation; Lord Jesus; Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
