Holy Spirit vs Flesh


Romans 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

What a beautiful message. This verse allows us to do some introspection of ourselves. What are we after in Life? Are we the ones who simply say “We are believers”; but do what we want to and convince our heart in that or are we the ones “Who walk the talk”?
By simply saying “Jesus is my savior and from now on I am a Christian” doesn’t solve the purpose; what God wants to see is a complete overhauling of our body, mind, and spirit. How we behave, what we talk and what we think determines whether we are adhering to his commandments or not. Demands of the flesh lead us to sin whereas our hunger for the Holy Spirit leads us to salvation. Therefore do not fall prey to the desires of your flesh because there Satan has spread a snare for you; instead, focus your mind and thoughts on Holy Spirit because there God has planned salvation for you.
