Tag: Bible verses about carnality

Romans 8:7 (NKJV) 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

I know that I mess up at times.

Just the other day, I was having a good conversation, and while talking I said something that was funny to me. But, I was immediately convicted in my heart. I felt like a heel.

I thought to myself, wow, where did that come from? Do we really still have to go there?

I’ve been a Christian for many years, and some things are just so hard to do away with.

It’s like they hide themselves very well, and when we get with the right person they seem to pop up and say, “Hello, I’m still here”.

I get so mad at myself. But that’s good, because we need to realize we can’t give into carnality; we can’t give the flesh one inch.

The Bible says the mind is against God. We have to learn to keep it under control. Keep it aligned with the Word of God. This is an ongoing fight for a believer.

If we have one moment where we relax, it will try to have its way. We have to work really hard at renewing it.

The good thing is that we recognize it and work at trying to keep it in submission. If it didn’t make us mad when we messed up, then something would be terribly wrong.

Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

So, go ahead. Get mad at the carnality of our mind, and make it obey the word of God. Amen.
