Romans 8: 10-13
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Highlights from today's sermon: The spirit, soul, and body are connected. We cannot give only our spirit and soul for everything is the Lord's. Our body (flesh) can only produce death. It cannot please God. The Spirit is life. Our flesh is powerless, so we must not obey the flesh. We must put to death the deeds of the body and present our body "as a living sacrifice."
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
