Life in the Spirit

So many times I come across people in church, school, or just an ordinary day who claim that they are christians. Many of us have been to church, heard the gospel, and know what Christ did for our sins, and all of that. I think about this often, who and who wont go to heaven. Not to sound cynical or doubt people, but because I don't want that for people. When I read this passage it kind of opened my eyes a bit more...

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace."
Romans 8:5-6

What have you been spending your time doing, thinking about, even living? The difference in living in the flesh and Spirit are very different. The flesh is human desires, sin, things that can leave you hurt, with regret, in jail, with diseases, or just unhappy. Adultery, stealing, lying, getting drunk, and well... you get it. All of this is a lie satan wants you to believe is fun, right, and normal. The Bible, the word of God, states very clearly many times that these are sins and are are not on the path of living a righteousness life in Him. We can't just pick and choose what we want to believe, or postpone having a relationship with Christ. This is the truth, God's word, and why don't people choose to listen to it? When people aren't living in the Spirit they become angry with hearing the Bible or anything related to the truth. It worries me so much because so many people that I care about, or even people I don't know don't understand this. God wants to know you and wants the best for you, you just have to come to him. No matter what you've done he's always going to be the only one completely there for you, and will always forgive you. I'm just as guilty as anybody else, because I'm human, but as I see this, I also would like others to see it as well.

"For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law- indeed it cannot, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
Romans 8:7-8

"Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness."
Romans 8:9-10
