The today's teaching: Be lead by the holy Spirit

Romans 8: 9-11 and 14

*Verse 14:* "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God."

- This verse highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers.
- To be "led by the Spirit" means to be under His control and direction.
- The result is that we are acknowledged as God's children, adopted into His family (Romans 8:15-17).

*Verse 9:* "You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ."

- This verse contrasts the two realms: the flesh (our old nature) and the Spirit (our new nature in Christ).
- If the Holy Spirit dwells in us, we are in the realm of the Spirit, indicating our new identity in Christ.
- The presence of the Spirit is the mark of belonging to Christ.

*Verse 10:* "But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness."

- This verse highlights the dual reality of our existence:
- Our bodies are mortal and subject to death due to sin.
- But the Spirit gives us spiritual life and victory over sin.
- Righteousness refers to our new status in Christ, which brings spiritual life.

*Verse 11:* "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you."

- This verse emphasizes the powerful reality of the Spirit's indwelling:
- The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us!
- He will also give life to our mortal bodies, ultimately redeeming them in resurrection.

In summary, these verses teach us that:

- The Holy Spirit leads and guides us as God's children.
- We are in the realm of the Spirit if we have the Spirit of Christ.
- The Spirit gives us spiritual life and
