Spirit and Flesh (Romans 8:5-17)

Paul will give us a fourth reason why we should never cheapen grace and that coming into relationship with Jesus means true heart reform. In this sermon, Paul will use the example of the flesh which is the part of ourselves that is set on the things of this world, living for ourselves and caring about our own way, and doing our own thing, whereas for those who have been renewed by Jesus through the Spirit, they live in a different way – they have a life that is lived for God, they are filled with the love of God and desire to serve and honour Him day to day. This is a very compelling case against those who think that Jesus and His forgiveness is just a license to sin and do as they please. Instead, for the true Christian, we are people who long to love, who care about those around us and also care about what God thinks of us and we show it by our actions. We pray that this will be a blessing to you.
