‘But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. ‘
~ Romans 8:9
Until You accept Christ and receive the baptism of the Holy spirit, which is a free gift to all. (Acts 2:38), Which is a free gift to all, you wont understand the things of God. You’ll be hostile to him and his precepts.
Precepts are rules or principles, especially those governing personal conduct. God is a spirit and you can’t satisfy him in flesh.(Romans 8:7-8) You must be born of the spirit.
Most people are afraid to get born again because they don’t know how they’ll resist the desires and temptations of the flesh to sin
Well, after your baptism into Christ you’ll no longer live but it will be Christ living in you (Gal 2:20) and he’ll guide you through the paths of righteousness for his name sake by the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. You’ll have the passion of Christ in you, that is hating evil and pleasing God the Father by doing his will.
‘I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. ‘
