The Christian life is about being in Christ, not about doing good. God’s economy is not about goodly people but about godly people. Phariseeism fixates on being “good” with the fruit of self-righteousness. The spiritual man fixates on Christ. Good is not the pursuit of the Christian but the fruit of living by the Holy Spirit. Without Christ, good is actually death, according to Paul. Are you a good person or a godly Christian?

In this message, 8 workings of the Holy Spirit are highlighted from Romans 8:5-27. These Holy Spirit “enablements” are for those who want to live the spiritual life not from the energy of their own fallen flesh but in partnership with the Spirit of Jesus Christ. With the Holy Spirit’s aid, the Christian life can be lived according to God’s New Testament economy.

How is the believer in Christ Jesus suppose to overcome the residual issues of sin in his flesh? Should he turn to religion to improve and reform his behavior? Should he subject his body to disciplines and law codes that rigidly regulate his flesh? Paul, in Romans 8:12-13, gives us an altogether different approach than does religion.

Within every Christian, there are 3 “experts” at war. Each “expert” lives according to its own laws and regulations and constantly seeks to overthrow the others for its own purposes. As believers, we need to understand from Romans 8:5-9 that our mind plays a crucial role within the outcome of this internal conflict. We must “set our minds” according to the Spirit or according to the flesh. The results are diametrically opposed to one another!

According to Paul, when Christ’s death condemned sin on the cross, the “righteous requirement of the law” was fulfilled in those who live according to the Spirit. What was Paul talking about in this complex phrase, “the righteous requirement of the law?” Apparently, this is an issue of the cross’s work that should be an experience for everyone who is a believer in Jesus the Messiah.

To “set your mind on the Spirit” is an ultimatum of Paul for the spiritual man to experience the rich realities of the spiritual life. God does not force or coerce us to “set our minds.” It is something we do according to the consecration of our hearts. An unconsecrated heart minds the “things of the flesh;” a consecrated man minds the “things of the Spirit.” Which one are you?

In Romans 8, the phrase “set your mind” occurs repeatedly. According to Paul’s understanding of the spiritual life, walking in the Spirit is very much an issue of us choosing to lean into the things of the Spirit of God. Walking in the Spirit is not an automatic lifestyle; it very much involves the believer’s will. This message explores the role the believer’s will plays after his new birth in the Holy Spirit.

The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed us from the penalty of sin, the indwelling person of sin, the power of sin, and from the practices of habitual sin. However, until we expire in our bodies, the residual influence of sin still remains within us as the presence of sin.
