THE SINFUL MIND IS HOSTILE TO GOD

5 THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE

HAVE THEIR MINDS SET ON WHAT THAT NATURE DESIRES;

BUT THOSE WHO LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPIRIT

HAVE THEIR MINDS SET ON WHAT THE SPIRIT DESIRES.

6 THE MIND OF SINFUL MAN IS DEATH,

BUT THE MIND CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT

IS LIFE AND PEACE;

7 THE SINFUL MIND IS HOSTILE TO GOD.

IT DOES NOT SUBMIT TO GOD'S LAW,

NOR CAN IT DO SO.

8 THOSE CONTROLLED BY THE SINFUL NATURE

CANNOT PLEASE GOD.

(Romans 8:5-8)

The Whole World, apart from Christ Jesus,

HAS A SINFUL MIND, AND IS HOSTILE TO GOD.

We are Witnesses of this Hostility.

What awaits the World because of this Hostility?

DEATH!

Why is the World in Constant Turmoil?

It is Hostile to God.
