GoD's WorK - God's Puzzle Solved

252 God’s WorkGoing on, Paul explains that when you are carnally minded, it canonly produce death (Verse 6). It is a matter of your mind and notyour human deeds or efforts. Keeping The Law spiritually has todo with your mind and heart, not your body or any works or gooddeeds you may perform. Romans 8:8 plainly states, no one canplease God by trying to be righteous through their own humaneffort. Since this is true, you no longer should worry about keepingThe Letter of The Law, because you, now, have God’s HolySpirit “in you.” By this means, you know instinctively right fromwrong without the need for The Letter of The Law (Romans 8:9).Why? Because God’s love is “in you” by His Holy Spirit.With Christ “In You,” the body is dead and The Law has no dominionover you (Romans 7:1). You are righteous (Romans 8:10)only when you have the spirit of life in your mind and heart. Youare no longer a debtor to the flesh (no sin), but with The Spirit ofGod “in you,” you are His Son (Verses 12-14). You become an“heir” with Christ and will be glorified when you receive salvation,as occurred with Christ (Verse 17).Created For VanityWhen Adam and Eve were in The Garden of Eden, God said thateverything He created was very “good” (Genesis 1:31). At thispoint, there was no sin. This newly created couple were livingin God’s rest - The Seventh Day - when God had completed allHis work. They couldn’t even die because The Tree of Life wasthere for them to eat - if only they had chosen The Tree of Life.At this point, Adam and Eve had complete freedom of choice tokeep living or die. God’s intent was for them to eat of The Treeof Life (Genesis 3:24). They, however, chose to die by eating thefruit from The Tree of Good and Evil instead of The Tree of Life,which gave life. They, then, were removed from The Garden.
