Romans 8:1-17
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after The Spirit. For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus hath made me free from The Law of sin and death. For what The Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His Own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, who walk not after the flesh, but after The Spirit. 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. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be Spiritually minded is Life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to The Law Of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But if The Spirit Of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through The Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Galatians 4:3-7
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
John 6:29
Jesus answered and said unto them, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT YE BELIEVE ON HIM WHOM HE HATH SENT.
2 Timothy 2:19-22
Nevertheless the Foundation of God standeth sure, having This Seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth The Name Of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow Righteousness, Faith, Charity, Peace, with them that call on The Lord out of a pure heart.
In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, Sanctified, and meet for the Master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
I have done a lot of dishonorable things and worshiped many idols in my house (which is my body or my flesh) before Salvation; but after Salvation, these things are being purged through The Holy Spirit. Before Salvation, I did not know or care what things were dishonorable, but I do now because of The Holy Spirit. My body or my flesh enjoys the things of dishonour, but, through The Holy Spirit teaching me how the dishonorable things are against God I can willingly and happily have them purged. The Holy Spirit brings dishonorable things to my attention so I can lay them aside.
My body is dead because of sin for I Am Crucified With Christ Jesus, But The Spirit Is Life, Because Of His Fulfillment Of The Law. The Righteousness That The Law Requires Is Fulfilled By Jesus Christ; Faith In Christ Jesus Make US Righteous.
Jesus Christ Fulfilled The Righteousness Of The Law So The Righteousness Might Be fulfilled in us through Faith. We are not in the flesh, because We Are Crucified With Christ Through Faith. We Are In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In Us. Only After Salvation can we know what good works are and how to walk in them. The Bible Says, For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from The Love Of God, Which Is In Christ Jesus Our Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.
Romans 8:18-39
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of The Spirit, because He maketh intercession for The Saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be The Firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at The Right Hand Of God, Who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking Unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith; Who For The Joy That Was Set Before Him Endured The Cross, Despising The Shame, And Is Set Down At The Right Hand Of The Throne Of God.
