DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Debtors
Romans 8:12-14
"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors – not to the flesh to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit [spirit] you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. But as many as are lead by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God."
I am a debtor. I owe my life to Jesus. If it wasn't for Him, I would be consigned to a life of death in the flesh. But rather by the Spirit of God, I can put to death the dominating power of the flesh. I cannot do this in my own strength or power. The flesh is strong. The only way to handle it is to kill it. There are not peace treaties or peaceful co-existence. I can live victorious in Christ and I am in debt to Him.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: We are debtors to God because we cannot live righteous in our own strength – only by His power.
