Devotional
Paul contrasts living according to the flesh with living according to the Spirit. When we focus on spiritual matters, we find life and peace. The flesh leads to death, but the Spirit leads to life. This means setting our minds on things above, not on earthly desires. It’s a daily choice to seek God’s will and guidance in all we do. By living according to the Spirit, we align ourselves with God’s purpose and experience His peace.
Bible Verse
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. – Romans 8:5
Reflection Question
What steps can you take today to set your mind on the things of the Spirit rather than the things of the flesh?
Quote
“Any addition to the gospel nullifies the gospel and nullifies the power of the gospel and nullifies the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.”
