Romans 8:10 “But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.” Unfortunately all of us will die. There is nothing worse on this earth than to die. That is the ultimate punishment all of us will suffer. BUT, while we die we live. We immediately go from the worst to the best. To say our Savior is totally responsible for an eternity of wonder for each of us is an understatement. We will never be able to thank Him enough.

Romans 8:6 “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Holy Spirit govern our mind. That is a prayer we should pray every morning. Will that prayer limit our joy of living on this earth? Is the rest of the world having more of an enjoyable life? Are we dull missing what life is all about? Living with the Holy Spirit in our lives brings far more joy, contentedness and peace that any earthly pleasure could possibly bring. Ask any of the residents who live in our Recovery houses. You will receive a truthful answer.

Romans 8:5 “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Where is your mindset? It is either in obeying God or in not obeying God. The world is simply made of these two camps. Every Christian is in the camp of following God and is being led by the Holy Spirit. Every Christian loves studying the Bible for that is where God exposes Himself and teaches us. His truths always dominate our thinking and our lives. Every faith question is resolved by studying His Word—-Enjoy studying that Word! Have a great weekend.

Romans 5:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” You and I deserve nothing or should I write– you and I deserve the worst life possible and an eternity in Hell. That makes us realize our self worth without our beloved Savior. BUT, we have a Savior. He makes our worth tremendous. He freely gifts us a wonderful feeling of self worth–a gift of a joyful life as faith filled Children of His and a life eternal with Him in the glories of Heaven. There is no greater love. We can say and live nothing other than—THANK YOU, JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!!

Heaven is your Home and your future looks magnificient. Would you consider yourself blessed?
