And you He made alive when

you were dead in trespasses

and sins

In which at one time you walked.

You were following the course

and fashion of this world, following

the prince of the power of the air.

You were obedient to and under the

control of the spirit that still constantly

works in the sons of disobedience.

(Ephesians 2.1 and 2).

POINTS FOR PRAISES
AND MEDITATION:

1) Before our salvation,before

 we were reconciled,

were spiritually dead.

2) The only way to spiritual

rebirth is by acknowledgement

of Jesus Christ as our Lord and

Savior. Upon repentance and

baptism we are born again.

3) Prior to this spiritual rebirth

the natural person is under the sway

of the evil spirits following the prince

of the power of the air, the devil.

4) Our salvation and spiritual rebirth

positions us under the God’s favor.

5) This rebirth is described by our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ:

” I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,

that unless a person is born again from

above, he cannot ever see ( know,

experience) the kingdom of God.”

(John 3.3).

As He explains this process:

” I assure you, most solemnly

I tell you, unless a man is born of

water and the Spirit, he cannot ever

enter the kingdom of God.

What is born of the flesh is flesh

and what is born of the Spirit

is spirit”

( John 3. 5 and 6).

PRAISE THE LORD! HALLELUJAH!

Now if I do what I do not desire

to do, it is no longer I who do it,

but sin that dwells in me.

So I find it to be a rule of action

within my being that when I want

to do what is right and good, there

is evil in me, though I desire to do good.

For I delight in the Law of God

according to the inward man.

But I see another law in my members,

at war against the law of my mind,

making me a prisoner to the law of

sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am!

Who will deliver me from this

body of death?

I thank God! He will through Jesus

Christ our Lord!

So then, with the mind I myself

serve the Law of God, but with the

flesh the law of sin.

( Romans 7.20-25).

Please consider these points:

1) This dual nature presents a dilemma.

2) Flesh versus mind ( carnal versus

spiritual) continue to be in conflict.

3) The only way out of this dilemma

is to submit to the Lordship of Jesus.

4) The divine rescue mission is

accomplished by Jesus Christ our

Lord and Savior who died to deliver us

from our sins and rose to grant us

eternal life with Him, with The Father

and with the Holy Spirit.

SPIRITUALITY AND CARNALITY

Therefore the law is holy,

and the commandment

holy, just and good.

Has then what is good

become death to me?

Certainly not!

But sin, that it might

appear sin, was producing

death in me through what

is good, so that sin through

the commandment become

exceedingly sinful.

For we know that the Law is

spiritual, but I am carnal

sold under sin.

For what I am doing I do not

understand.

For what I will to do I do not

but what I hate, that I do.

If then, I do what I will not

to do, I agree with the Law

that it is good.

( Romans 7. 12-16).

Meditate on the following:

1) The Law is God’s standard.

2) Carnal man acts against that

standard.

3) Carnality is contrary to God.

4) The Law is spiritual because

God is Spirit.
