Paul starts off his letter to the Christians in Rome by departing from his Jewish scholarship and appealing more to the Word the the Spirit writes on their hearts. The Spirit has the ability to move us, but we certainly have the capacity to move against it. When we do so, we take on a long list of qualities, and Paul names several. If we wish to be closer to God’s heart, it’s not a bad idea to keep a lookout for those things in our life.
