The Freedom of the Spirit Rom. 8:12-17
We claim to be free,
But those who live according to the flesh are never really free.
They are slaves to their appetites.
As their bodies crave one thing after another until one gives in,
Only to have the cravings and appetites come back later even more ravenous than before.
St. Paul tells us that only those who live by the Spirit are truly free.
And He encourages us after being freed from the flesh,
Not to fall back into the slavery of the flesh.
For we are Children of God
And God is Spirit.
