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. (6) For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. (7) For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. (8) Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
What does it mean to “set the mind on the Spirit?” Is it not to live according to 1 Thessalonian 5:16-18? To rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks to God in all circumstances? Will this not keep my focus on the Spirit and on the way of life? It will, it will indeed. It does, it does indeed. Praise the LORD Most High.
