For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot. Romans 8:6-8. Paul’s contrast between the old life and the new, between life in the flesh and life in the Spirit, is now worked out in detail in terms of two settled attitudes or mind-sets: one under the influence of the “flesh”, the other under the influence of Christ through the Spirit within believers. The natural person regards God as an enemy. Pure anti-God hostility is incapable of anything else, and is the real mind- set of everyone who is not yet renewed by the Spirit. Each of us must seek to put God “first” daily in our lives. With so many distractions it’s easy to let our relationship slip down the list of priorities. Slow down today and ponder on where you’re mind spends more time…in the Spirit or the Flesh?
