The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.

Romans 8, verse 7. Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. Our reading titled,

Setting Our Minds, was written by Marvin Williams, and read by West Ward.

Romans, Chapter 8, verses 1 through 6, and 9 through 11.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set

you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do, because it was

weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

And so he condemns sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirement of the law

might be fully met in us who do not live according to the flesh, but according to the spirits.

Those who live according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. Those who live according to the flesh have their mind set on what the flesh desires,

but those who live in accordance with the spirit have their mind 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.

Now picking up with verse 9.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh, but are in the realm of the spirit, if indeed the spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,

they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death

because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus

from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your

mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.
