5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

As believers it is not about having it all together, it's about willing to expose ourselves willing to bring the real us before the real God. Exposure to death is necessary and the Cross of Jesus Christ is an instrument of death, when we choose the Cross we are embracing death to the flesh, we are choosing to kill the flesh intentionally. We are choosing to live a life by the spirit and as we...

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh…

Following Christ requires us dying to ourselves taking up our cross in order to follow Him. There is no life in self, anything that originates in self is an abomination to the Lord. Our greatest enemy is the nature of self. We have to willingly choose to take up our cross and follow Him! When we forsake we gain and following Christ is not cheap but Jesus is worth it and He proved His worth by will...

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God 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.

The greatest thing that becomes a hindrance to be in full surrender to God and to walk in obedience is the fear of death. Self preservation is rooted in the fear of death. Self preservation is offensive to the will of God. Self has to die, self will never be able to conquer self. There is only one remedy to overcome self and that is to bring self to the Cross and to allow the power of the Holy spi...

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me...

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Our foundation should be built on the eternal truth that is found in Gods word. Sound doctrine keeps us sound, sound doctrine keeps us grounded. We have an inheritance as sons and daughters however, the relationship and commitment is to His Lordship.

7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the...

6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Surrendering is painful, but it is worth it! When you can surrender it all from the beginning, you can be free indeed in every area. Jesus Christ paid a great price for our salvation, He was tempted in every point yet without sin. God requires your life from the very beginning, this truth is vital in order to experience the fullness of the power of God in our life. It might hurt because it's s...

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband....

We love Christ because He first loved us. All love for God must be biblically proven. As much as He values affections and sentiments even more so than soulish expressions towards Him - The greatest act of worship we can give Him is our heartfelt willing obedience. It is impossible for us to truly love Him without first understanding to what degree He first loved us. The motivation that we should h...

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield you...

Beholding the love, understanding the Cross and the profound sacrificial love revealed through the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ, who carried the weight of our sins, willingly embraced the Cross and became obedient unto death. He conquered sin and death, offering us redemption and eternal life. His suffering should inspire us to deeply appreciate the magnitude of His love and the extent to...

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
