       I want us to talk about having the mind of the Spirit. Let us turn over to Romans chapter 8, perhaps the most famous chapter in the whole Bible. I want us to examine the war between the Spirit and our flesh, as pertains to our minds. Let’s pick up in verse 5. “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 set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness” (Romans 8:5-10, ESV).
