Spirit of Life

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Therefore, brothers and sisters,

we are debtors- not to the flesh,

to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the

flesh you will die. But if through

the power of the Holy Spirit you

are habitually putting to death

the evil deeds prompted by the

carnal nature, you will live.

( Romans 8.12 and 13).

INSPIRATION FOR MEDITATION

Meditate on these points:

1) The carnal sinful nature leads

to sin and death.

2) The Holy Spirit leads us to right

standing with God and guides us

to right thinking and actions

3) The Holy Spirit is in eternal

communion with the Eternal Father

and the Eternal Son.

4)The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of life.

 With the Holy Spirit we have eternal

life as sons and daughters of the Eternal.

5) Eternal life is knowing the Father and His

unique Beloved Son Jesus Christ through

His Holy Spirit.

CHILDREN OF GOD

CHILDREN OF GOD

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are debtors-

not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die

but if by the Spirit you put to death the

deeds of the body, you will live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,

these are the sons and daughters of God.

For you did not receive the Spirit of bondage

again to fear, but you received the Spirit of

adoption by whom we cry out, “Daddy, Father!”

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit

that we are the children of God.

And if children, then heirs- heirs of God, and

joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with

Him, that we may also be glorified together.

(Romans 8.12-17).

 

POINTS TO CONSIDER

1) Implications of being born of the Spirit

(see John 3.5-6).

2) Living according to the flesh versus through the Spirit

3) The consequence of living according to the flesh

4 The advantage of living by the Spirit

5) The children of God

6) The spirit of bondage versus the Spirit of adoption

7) The consequence of being children of God

 

The divine truths here and the definite promises are

awesome.
