We are in Romans chapter 8.

Romans chapter 8 and today we're going to deal with how to deal with sin, even habitual

sin, and how we need to have renewed minds specifically in the in the area of how we

how we think about sin and the struggle against sin and that's not really

exactly what the passage is all about, but it relates to that.

So we're going to talk about sins, salvation, the issues of position in Christ versus condition

in Christ, and there's an important verse about the deity of Christ in this passage as well in Romans 8.

So just a few verses here, but there's a lot in it.

Remember this Sunday night service, this is called thinking biblically, for the reason that we were wanting to think biblically for the reason that we were wanting to think

biblically to actually have my thoughts be biblical it's it's a little bit

broader than just saying theology it's like I just want to think

biblically about about all things and here we are in Romans Romans

8 is like this this magnanimous moment this big event in Romans 8

where we're pulling together ideas throughout the book of Romans, but also throughout all of the Bible and seeing how Jesus

Changes all the stuff for us

Romans 8 is all about solving a whole lot of problems and so we should find it really edifying and helpful for us as we go through it

So here we are Romans 8 verse 5 is as 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 the things of the spirit.

Now that word flesh, it really is is as Paul writes about it in in Romans and other places

he's talking about that sin nature he's not just talking about physical body

We're not as Christians we don't believe that just physical bodies are themselves evil.

If that was the case, then Jesus was evil.

I mean, he had a physical body.
