       We will die if we choose to live according to our flesh. That’s what Paul said. What’s he talking about here? We will die physically? Well, it’s possible we will die physically because sometimes following the flesh can lead to choices so unwise that they actually cost us our physical lives. Really, though, what Paul is talking about here is spiritual death. Living in death is not what we want, as Christians. If we are living in death, we are out of God’s rest and lose our peace of mind. We are out of fellowship with God, and the Spirit brings conviction for us. Once the Spirit brings conviction, he have the choice of whether or not we will make correction. And we have to choose to put to death the sinful actions of our bodies. That’s how we live real life. The Spirit will point out to us what we need to work on as we live out our lives. He deals with each of us individually on his time table. And he doesn’t always work with all of us on the same things at the same times. Usually, he works with one person with one thing and someone else on another thing.
