Eternal benefits

“The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace” Romans 8:6

According to Barclay, “to allow the things of the world completely to dominate life is self extinction; it is spiritual suicide.” Paul tells us that we have good news; the Spirit-controlled mind leads to life and peace. Paul repeats the same contrast in Galatians 6:8: “The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

Lord, give me the grace today to choose to be controlled by your Spirit.
