Life Through the Spirit March 13, 2014 at 3:36am Romans 8 (New International Version) YOU, HOWEVER, ARE CONTROLLED NOT BY THE SINFUL NATURE BUT CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT, IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU NOW YOU CAN FULFILL THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW BECAUSE YOU CAN NOW SUBMIT TO THE WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES YOU TO DO Life Through the Spirit Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to Gods law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you
