Romans 8:8-11
Paul contrasts the absolute difference between living a life under the death of sin and living a life under the grace of the Holy Spirit. In truth, there is little to compare because the difference is so great between the two states of life. I wonder if this is our own experience under the Spirit of God? If it is not, then perhaps we need to surrender more and bring our lives fully under the grace of God.
Romans 8:8-11
8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.
