Romans 8:6-7             New English Translation

6 For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

Through works, no man is justified, and that ought to wake us up

Also, to do some good here and there is not the Way to Heaven

It is Christ Who paid the price. It is Him Who carries us there

He is the only "Way" to take us, for He rules and bears our leaven

He needs to do the good that reaches out through me

The flesh should be a pawn to be used for and by Him

Fully and completely without restriction in service

In complete obedience through His “Will” that lives within

For if my Lord is not in it, if He is not the final motive

My “will” gets farther away from God and His assurance

For the better that my flesh works without my Lord and Savior

The greater grows the distance from God and His performance
