This chapter is one of the most edifying ones in the Scriptures that speaks to the difference of living a carnal life and living a spiritual life. The choice is ours daily and, despite what occurs around us, we must "walk by faith...not by sight " as II Cor 5:7 states. Being aware of who we are in Christ and what we feel think do with the body we have in the environment we are in is a must. Then picking up our sinful nature..our cross..and following the guidance of the Holy Ghost puts us on the narrow way that leads to salvation. Yes it is hard to look at ourselves as we tend to rationalize all parts of ourselves we do not want or feel a need to change. Still with a degree of self-actualization, we can do so without throwing up our defenses. It is these defenses that can eventually grieve the Holy Spirit and that is definately something a child of God should never, never, never do.
