Lamentations 3:24 What does it mean to place my hope in God? What steps or moves have I taken to place my trust in God?

Walking in the Spirit, Dealing With the Flesh

Romans 6:1,2,3,4,15,16,17,18 Romans 7:4,5,6 There are three metaphors of a new life in these chapters: being dead then resurrected, the old law of Moses vs. the new law of Christ, and serving two different masters.

Romans 7:7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25

Romans 7:23,24,25

What should I expect from the atonement? Paul had a flesh and there was a thorn in it. But he reconciled living in the human existence while also being holy.

Chapters 6 and 7 are not about a cloak of righteousness over a sinful body of flesh. What is the spiritual condition after atonement? It isn’t wretched. There is a change.

Exodus 12:21,22,23

Romans 8:1,2,3,4

What should I expect from my mind, will, and behavior after my conversion? The Spirit of God doesn’t eradicate the flesh. I retain my will and choice. I remain with it, but the Spirit of God dominates and governs the flesh.
