Where is the battle for control of your life fought? Romans 8, says it is fought in the mind. It is not what you do, but who you are that shows the commitment to the gospel life. Being a Christian is not to enslave ourselves to God so as to be afraid of him, but it is to become his child and call him our Father. Rom 8:15. The law was powerless to condemn sin in sinful man, so God condemned sin in sinful man by sending his son in man’s likeness as a sin offering to fully satisfy the requirements of righteousness under the law. Man now satisfies righteousness by living according to the Spirit; meaning, they have their mind set on what the Spirit desires and no longer on the desires of their flesh (sinful nature). Know that the mind of sinful man is death. It is hostile to God. It does not and cannot submit to God’s law. Rom 8:7-8. Therefore, in his natural state, man cannot please God. It is not what a man does, but who he is that please God. You must declare yourself his child through the acceptance of Jesus Christ, declaring him your Father, and you must submit your mind to His Spirit and have it controlled by His Spirit; then, you will have life and peace. This shows that the Spirit of God lives in you; meaning, you belong to Christ and carry the name Christian.
