Bonus: Romans 8:12-17
from Rooted Together Hosted by Charles Hegwood
What a revolutionary thought for modern times from ancient times. We don't have to live according to the cravings of our earthly bodies. Our modern culture screams that we must live according to the orientations of our "true selves" as if the apex of existence is self-realization. Yet God has called us to self-sacrifice. We must be and are called to be more than the sum of ourselves, likes, orientations, and feelings. We are called to something far greater; we are called to be children of God. The Spirit leads us to a new, true identity; adopted sons and daughters of God. We live according to His Spirit, to His Word. We become heirs to his kingdom. We are invited into the sufferings of Christ so that we may also embrace and share in the glory of Christ which He will share with us as well!
