“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. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:5-6
Those who live according to the inclinations and desires of their corrupt human natures set their minds on things that only lead to eternal death and damnation. But those who live in accord with the leading and instruction of the Holy Spirit will desire the things of the Spirit. They will continue in the Word of God and be kept in the true and saving faith and receive in Christ Jesus forgiveness for all their sins and the everlasting joys of heaven.
Grant that we walk according to the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit and continue in Your Word, O Lord. Amen.
