How our brains work 13

For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Romans 7:18b-24 14

Romans 8:5-17 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.  32

Romans 8:28 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 33

Do not make the mistake of focusing on the outcome of your action Do not make the mistake of focusing on the outcome of your action. Let God handle that. What matters is the inward transformation. The growth of faith. 34
