MAIN TALK UNDERSTANDING GOD THE SCRIPTURES

Daily Bible Thought > Roman's Eight Verse Six

Rom.8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

As a good tree cannot produce bad fruit neither can a bad tree produce good fruit, but what does this mean? It means we either walk by Spirit, or the flesh, flesh in this case means sinful flesh and its desires. One tree is life, that is, eternal life, in Jesus Christ, the other tree is death, which is the minding of the flesh.

But both trees do not exist in us at the same time, because a good tree cannot produce bad fruit. One tree of two trees life force puts to death the other tree. When this happens we are individually judged by our own actions good or bad. The tree of Christ Jesus requires faith to stay in God's love, while the tree of the flesh requires our choosing the law of sin and death to judge according to our ways judging ourselves and judging other by our ways, good or bad.

Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Gal.5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

But let us remember, no bad fruit tree can produce good fruit. We must be in Christ Jesus by our faith to produce good fruit, which is the fruits of God's Holy Spirit or life force of the good tree.

It is then the head of the tree Christ Jesus who produces the fruits on the tree by his life force given too us when we keep our minds set upon the Spirit of God.

Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness}
5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

However, the two trees cannot coexist in us at the same time, we either are in life, the life force of Christ Jesus, or in death, the life force of sin and laws producing dead works, but not both at the same time.

James 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
