Pentecost 6a

The Flesh and the Spirit, Romans 8.7-17

In Romans 8.8-17, Paul continues speaking of the conflict between the flesh and the Spirit and how the affects us. We, though we will die in the body, will live because of the Spirit of Christ who dwells in us. Thus we are made children of God by the indwelling of the Spirit that we might live. Paul’s words are an encouragement to us to push forward in this life now because of the blessings that we have received.
