       Of course, we are aware that in Romans chapter 6 Paul spent quite a lot of time discussing how are to put the death the sinful actions of our bodies, how we are not to let sin reign in our mortal bodies, so that we obey its passions. And today in Romans chapter 8, Paul shows us that we have a choice. When we come into right relationship with God, we don’t automatically only want to do good, but we all understand we still retain that desire to do what is wrong, what is sinful at times. And Paul reminds us again today that we are under obligation because of what Christ has done for us to actually choose to live according to the Spirit versus living according to flesh. That’s a choice we have to make. 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.
