Who Will Deliver Me From This Body of Death?
The law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. The law is spiritual. But we are carnal, sold under sin. The carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God because in our flesh, nothing good dwells. However, if the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are not in the flesh but in the Spirit. If the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead does indeed dwell in us, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies through His Spirit which dwells in us. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. And if we are His children, then we are joint heirs with Christ and will be glorified together with Him. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1) This is our most wonderful hope, and we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Thank You Father, for this hope which is made possible by the awesome gift of Your Holy Spirit dwelling in us, that we should be glorified together with Your Son. Thank You for calling us out of darkness into Your marvelous light; we who once were not a people but are now the people of God (1 Peter 2:10)
