Romans 8:7
7 Because [dioti] the carnal [sarx] mind [phronema] is enmity [echthra] against [eis] God [theos]: for [gar] it is [hupotasso] not [ou] subject [hupotasso] to the law [nomos] of God [theos], neither [oude] indeed [gar] can be [dunamai]. KJV-Interlinear
7 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. ESV
The carnal life is also referred to as the fleshy
life. Living in the carnal sphere, you are living outside the will of God, and
therefore hostile or in opposition to God, because you are not following Gods
plan.
The carnal life, in effect rejects Gods plan, which
rejects Gods law, and therefore does not see itself as being accountable to
God, or righteousness, or justice, or truth, or to anything but itself.
Life without God is incapable of functioning on its
own. God is the glue that holds everything together. Rejecting the glue,
rejects the very foundation of creation.
Rejecting God, means you are in effect rejecting
everything including yourself, including your own belief.
Rejecting God, means by default, that you presume you
can do everything on your own, which you cannot.
Gods plan is Jesus Christ, who does all and is all.
Rejecting Gods plan means rejecting Christ, which also means rejecting Gods
plan.
Rejecting God also means rejecting truth, which means
accepting lies, which is obviously the dumbest thing that anyone can do.
Study [by instruction],
to show thyself
approved [spiritually mature]
unto God,
a workman [student]
that need not be
ashamed [ignorant],
rightly dividing [learning, understanding, discerning]
the word of truth [Bible doctrine].
If you can dream
and not make dreams your master,
If you can think
and not let thoughts narrow your views,
If you can meet
triumph with disaster equally,
If you can learn
and see your full meaning and purpose in life,
Then you can
believe in Christ, learn Bible doctrine, and grow far beyond the potential that
God has prepared for you.
These studies, are a part of the massive
daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, that is easily accessible, and are
written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and
therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
To
ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete,
unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
