Romans 8:12–13, NIV
12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation-- but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.  13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

1.    Believers in Christ do not have to live under the reign of the flesh anymore.

2.    Believers in Christ must not and will not live under the reign of the flesh anymore.

3.    Believers in Christ can live under the reign of the Spirit and mortify the sinful deeds of the body.

4.    Believers in Christ must and will live under the reign of the Spirit and mortify the sinful deeds of the body.

Main Idea: Christ’s people do not live according to the flesh and eternally perish; Christ’s people live according to the Spirit and live forever.
