Romans 8:5-8 Part 2 of 2

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

 

The mind governed by the flesh is death

Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace 

Romans 8:13  For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

Galatians 6:8  Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God 

James 4:4  You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God 

Galatians 5:24  Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Galatians 5:16-17  So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
