Rom.8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Faith is a fruit of God Holy Spirit and it is given to us when we walk in love, it is our trust in God's love that lets us please Him and come to know God as our heavenly Father. A rock does not commune with the wind, it may be made to moved by the wind, but it is never the wind, the two are opposed, the wind communes with the wind.

To commune with God we must walk in Spirit, we cannot walk by law written upon stone tablets, nor laws of our flesh which makes our heart like a rock. God is love, and He can only known Him by love, laws on stones are dead works, they do not produces love. They are night and day, in fact, they are hostel to each other, one has to be gone for the other to live.

When Christian's fall into judging by sins law, which, can mean all human laws of the flesh, instead of the Royal law of love, we become like a rock dropping from sky after wind storm to the ground. We are dead for all practical purposes to the wind of God's Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

We cannot please God by judgments of sins law, we cannot demand the justice where God set aside His own justice of Law to save us, and, hence, think we are walking in Spirit, which means nothing more than walking in love. No we cannot rule our lives by the flesh, and its laws and please the God of love who removed sins law in Christ Jesus for us.

*Rom.8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Two tree stand in the lives of humans, one tree is Christ Jesus, the other tree is sins law. For us to be in Christ Jesus we must worship in Spirit and truth, and walk according to love a spiritual fruit of the tree of Christ Jesus. But let none of us be fooled by sin laws, thinking we can eat from both trees and be a part of Christ Jesus.

Deception by sins law, means blinding oneself to the truth of God's love, where we deliberately chose to eat some from both tree thinking we can please God by our good intention in judging others by sins law, instead of love.

John 12:40 "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them."{Isaiah 6:10}
