The verses we will recite together today are from the New Testament, Romans 8:5 and 6. Notice the repetition of words in these two verses, such as "considerate", "carnal", "follow", "Holy Spirit ". The word "considerate" means "attentive, eager, concerned." Dear friends, what is your greatest concern and desire today? In the previous chapter Paul described his inability to do good in the power of the flesh and his struggle with sin, and then in chapter 8 he exhorted and reminded Christians of their release from condemnation in Christ Jesus through the "law of the life-giving Spirit". Ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in our desire to be mindful of the things of the Spirit, to walk by the Spirit, not to indulge in the lusts of the flesh, and to become new creatures in Christ, enjoying true peace and the hope of eternal life!
