Romans 8:6-7 The Passion Translation (TPT)
6 For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.
7 In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction,[a] because it cannot!

The Way of God is Life
“You will surely Die”
“In the Spirit” is that Christ dwells within and you operate in His Holy Spirit guiding our lives- not perfect.
“In the flesh”- means that we operate by our own standards and by our own pleasures. Because of the fall of man, this is where mankind is without Jesus changing our lives and making us New Creations. We operate with a selfish attitude of it is all about us. (Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil)

Romans 8:9-11 The Passion Translation (TPT)
9 But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life,[a] you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.[b]
10 Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God.[c] 11 Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!
