The Matters of Our Mindset

In Romans 8:5-8, the Apostle Paul contrasts two ways of living: according to the flesh and according to the Spirit. This passage challenges us to reflect on our mindset and the orientation of our hearts. Paul emphasizes that living according to the flesh leads to death, but living according to the Spirit brings life and peace. The fleshly mindset is hostile to God and cannot submit to His law, while the Spirit-led mindset aligns with God's will and pleases Him. This dichotomy invites us to examine where we place our focus and how we can cultivate a Spirit-led life.
