Life

Genesis 2:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)

The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

 

Adam

 

Adam was formed from the dust

and God-breathed Life into him.

We can be born again of God

through belief in Jesus, the Christ

God forms us then with a purpose

into what He loves us to become

A mirrored image of His Son

And to live in the “Power of His Might”

 

John 3:6 New English Translation (NET Bible)

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

 

“What’s born of the flesh is flesh”

and its deeds so horrendous.

“Put to death its deeds of such

through the Power of the Spirit”

A war then rages deep within

to contradict my Savior’s calling

My mind cannot really understand

“The Way“ The Lord wants me with Him.

 

Romans 8:12-13 New English Translation (NET Bible)

12 So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh 13 (for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

 

 

 

My flesh is corrupted beyond repair

and my mind does represent it well.

Unless I have the Mind of Christ

I will never find true repentance.

My struggle will go on endlessly

although I seem to be feeling well.

But the blindness in my ”chosen” path

will be absorbed in time as a sentence.

 

Romans 7:23 New English Translation (NET Bible)

23 But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.
