The most frequently used word in Romans 8 is the “Spirit”. Paul describes the Spirit as the key to our sanctification. The Spirit frees us from the law of sin & death, and enables us to obey the law. The Spirit gives life, enabling us to defeat sin and the flesh. And the Spirit adopts us as God’s children, allowing us to enjoy a new relationship to God as our Abba, Father. Are we living by the desires of the flesh or the Spirit?
