Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell,
the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy universal church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen

This Week’s Verse
For those who are according to the flesh set their
minds on the things of the flesh, but those who
are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
(Romans 8:5) (Feb. 26) NASB
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. NIV
16
Next Week’s Verse
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the
mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because
the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God;
for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for
it is not even able to do so; (Romans 8:6-7) (Mar.
5) NASB
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the
mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The
mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it
does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. NIV

Introduction : chapter 8
• The spiritual richness, both theological and practical, of this
chapter is beyond calculation and surpasses adequate
comment.
• When read by a believer with an open mind and an
obedient heart, it is incredibly enriching.
• It is one of the supreme life-changing chapters in Scripture.
• It moves along in an ever-ascending course, concluding in
the marvelous paean of praise and assurance: “For I am
convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities(권세자), nor things present, nor things to
come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other
created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 8:38–39).
26
Introduction : Holy Spirit
• The Holy Spirit is mentioned but once in the first seven
chapters of Romans, but is referred to nearly twenty times
in chapter 8.
• The Spirit is to a believer what God the Creator is to the
physical world.
• Without God, the physical world would not exist. It has
been created and is continually sustained by the
omnipotent power of God.
• So the Holy Spirit—who also, of course, participated in
the creation of the world—is to the Christian. The Holy
Spirit is the divine agent who creates, sustains, and
preserves spiritual life in those who place their trust in
Jesus Christ.
27
Introduction : Holy Spirit
• Among the many characteristics of personhood that the
Holy Spirit possesses and manifests are:
• He functions with mind, emotion, and will;
• He loves the saints, He communicates with them,
teaches, guides, comforts, and chastises(책망하다) them;
• He can be grieved, quenched(만족시키다), lied to,
tested, resisted, and blasphemed.
• The Bible speaks of His omniscience, His omnipotence, His
omnipresence, and His divine glory and holiness. (全知,
全能, 偏在)
• He is called God, Lord, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of the
Lord, the Spirit of Yahweh (or Jehovah), the Spirit of the
Father, the Spirit of the Son, the Spirit of Jesus, and the
28
Comforter and Advocate(대변자)for believers.
Introduction : Holy Spirit
• Scripture reveals
• that the Holy Spirit was fully active with the Father and
Son in the creation
• and that He has been with all believers and enabled and
empowered them even before Pentecost.
• He has always been convicting men of sin, giving salvation
to those who truly believed, and teaching them to worship,
obey, and serve God rightly.
• The Holy Spirit has been the divine agent who uniquely
came upon God’s servants and inspired God’s sovereignlychosen men to pen God’s Word.
• True believers have always served God not by human might
or power but by the Holy Spirit (cf. Zech. 4:6).
29
Introduction : Holy Spirit
• The Spirit was involved in Jesus’ conception as a human
being and in Jesus’ baptism, anointing, temptation,
teaching, miracles, death, and resurrection.
• Since Pentecost, the Holy Spirit has, in His fullness, indwelt
all believers, illuminating their understanding and
application of God’s Word as well as empowering them for
sanctification in a greater way than had ever occurred
before.
• He fills them, seals them, communes with them,
fellowships with them, intercedes for them, comforts them,
admonishes(권고하다) them, sanctifies them, and enables
them to resist sin and to serve God.
30
Introduction : overview
• In the present passage (Rom. 8:5–13), Paul continues to
disclose the innumerable results of justification, specifically
the marvelous, spirit-wrought benefits of freedom from
condemnation.
• In verses 2–3 he has discussed the Spirit’s freeing us from
sin and death, and in verse 4 His enabling us to fulfill God’s
law.
• In verses 5–13 Paul reveals that the Spirit also changes our
nature and grants us strength for victory over the
unredeemed flesh.
31
The Holy Spirit Changes Our Nature
Romans 8:5-13
5. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the
things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the
things of the Spirit.
6. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit
is life and peace,
7. because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does
not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so;
8. and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of
Christ, he does not belong to Him.
10. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet
the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
34
The Holy Spirit Changes Our Nature
Romans 8:5-13
11. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
35
The Holy Spirit Changes Our Nature : vv2-5
• In verse 4 Paul speaks of the believer’s behavior,
contending that he does “not walk(=live) according to the
flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
4
so that the requirement of the Law might be
fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to
the flesh but according to the Spirit.
• As in verses 2 and 3, the conjunction for in verse 5 carries
the meaning of because.
• The point is that a believer does not behave according to
the flesh because his new heart and mind are no longer
• centered on the things of the flesh
• and ruled by sin.
36
Two kinds of people
• In God’s eyes, there are only two kinds of people in the
world, those who do not belong to Him and those who do.
Put another way, there are only those who are according
to the flesh and those who are according to the Spirit.
• As far as spiritual life is concerned, God takes no
consideration of gender, age, education, talent, class, race,
or any other human distinctions (Gal. 3:28).
• He differentiates people solely on the basis of their
relationship to Him, and the difference is absolute.
37
Two kinds of people …
• Obviously there are degrees in both categories.
• Some unsaved people exhibit high moral behavior,
• and, on the other hand, many saints do not mind the
things of God as obediently as they should.
• But every human being is completely 반 죽음 = 반 삶
• in one spiritual state of being
½ 죽음 = ½ 삶
• or the other;
x 2하면 죽음 = 삶
• he either belongs to God or he does not.
• Just as a person cannot be partly dead and partly alive
physically, neither can he be partly dead and partly alive
spiritually.
38
Two kinds of people …
• There is no middle ground.
• A person is
• either forgiven and in the kingdom of God
• or unforgiven and in the kingdom of this world.
• He is
• either a child of God
• or
a child of Satan.
39
Spiritual Nature
• In this context, the phrase according to refers to basic
spiritual nature.
• The Greek could be translated literally as those being
according to, indicating a person’s fundamental
essence(본질), bent(경향), or disposition(성향).
• Those who are according to the flesh are the unsaved,
the unforgiven, the unredeemed, the unregenerate.
• Those who are according to the Spirit are the saved,
the forgiven, the redeemed, the regenerated children of
God.
40
Spiritual Nature
• As the apostle points out a few verses later, the unsaved
• not only are according to the flesh
• but are in the flesh (v. 8)
• and are not indwelt by the Holy Spirit. (v. 9)
• The saved, on the other hand,
• not only are according to the Spirit
• but are in the Spirit
• and indwelt by Him (v. 9).
• Here in verse 5 Paul is speaking of the
determinant(결정적인) spiritual pattern(영적 형태) of a
person’s life, whereas in verses 8–9 he is speaking of the
spiritual sphere(영적 영역) of a person’s life.
41
Spiritual Nature
• Phroneō, the verb behind set their minds, refers to the
basic orientation(방향), bent, and thought patterns of the
mind, rather than to the mind or intellect itself (Greek
nous).
• It includes a person’s affections(emotion, feeling) and will
as well as his reasoning.
• Paul uses the same verb in Philippians, where he
admonishes believers to “have this attitude [or, “mind”] in
yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus” (2:5; see also
2:2; 3:15, 19; Col. 3:2). (너희 안에 이 마음을 품으라, 곧
그리스도 예수의 마음이니)
thought pattern(사고 습관) : a habit of thinking in a particular way or
42
making certain assumptions, usu. positive or negative
Spiritual Nature of the unredeemed
• The basic disposition(기질 ,성향) of the unredeemed is to
“indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires” (2 Pet. 2:10).
(육체를 따라 더러운 정욕 가운데 행하며)
• The lost are those “whose end is destruction, whose god is
their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set
their minds on earthly things” (Phil. 3:19).
• The things of the flesh includes false philosophies and
religions, which invariably appeal, whether
overtly(명백하게) or subtly(알기 어렵게), to the flesh
through self-interest and self-effort.
43
Spiritual Nature of the redeemed
• But those who are according to the Spirit, Paul says, set
their minds on the things of the Spirit.
• In other words, those who belong to God are concerned
about godly things.
• As Jonathan Edwards liked to say, they have “holy
affections,” deep longings after God and sanctification.
• As Paul has made clear in Romans 7, even God’s children
sometimes falter in their obedience to Him.
• But as the apostle said of himself, they nevertheless
“joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man”
(Rom. 7:22). Despite their many spiritual failures, their
basic orientation(지향, 방향) and innermost concerns have
to do with the things of the Spirit.
44
Spiritual Equation
• Phronēma (v6)(the mind) is the noun form of the verb in
verse 5, and, like the verb, refers to the content or thought
patterns of the mind rather than to the mind itself.
• It is significant that Paul does not say that the mind set on
the flesh leads to death, but that it is death.
• The unsaved person is already dead spiritually. The apostle
is stating a spiritual equation, not a spiritual consequence.
6
For the mind set on the flesh is death
the mind set on the flesh => death : spiritual consequence
the mind set on the flesh = death : spiritual equation
45
Spiritual Consequence
• The consequence involved in this relationship is the
reverse: that is, because unredeemed men are already
spiritually dead, their minds are inevitably set on the flesh.
• Paul reminded the Ephesian believers that, before
salvation, they were all once “dead in [their] trespasses and
sins” (Eph. 2:1).
the mind set on the flesh => death (X)
the mind set on the flesh <= death (O)
46
Sin => Death
• There is, of course, a sense in which sin leads to death.
• “But your iniquities have made a separation between you
and your God,” Isaiah declared to Israel, “and your sins
have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear”
(Isa. 59:2).
• Earlier in the book of Romans Paul explained that “the
wages of sin is death” (6:23) and that “while we were in the
flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law,
were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for
death” (7:5; cf. Gal. 6:8).
47
The State of Death
• But Paul’s emphasis in the present passage is on the state
of death in which every unbeliever already exists, even
while his body and mind may be very much alive and
active.
• “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of
God,” Paul explained to the Corinthian believers, “for they
are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them,
because they are spiritually appraised” (1 Cor. 2:14).
48
Spiritual Corpse
• Some years ago I conducted the funeral for a baby girl killed
in an automobile accident.
• Before the service the mother kept reaching into the
casket, taking the lifeless little body in her arms and
caressing her and crying softly to her.
• The baby, of course, could no longer respond to anything in
the physical realm, because there was no life there to
respond.
49
Spiritual Corpse …
• The unsaved person is a spiritual corpse and consequently
is completely unable, in himself, to respond to the things of
God.
• Unless the Holy Spirit intervenes by
• convicting him of sin
• and enabling him
• to respond to God by faith
• and thus being made alive,
• the unsaved person is as insensitive to the things of God as
that baby was to the caresses and cries of her mother.

Next Week’s Conversation
A: I went to a funeral for a little boy. His mother caressed
and kissed him with a lot of tears. But there was no
response from the boy, which made me so sad.
B: It’s so obvious. He has no life to respond.
A: Absolutely. Likewise, unbelievers do not respond to
God’s calling as they are spiritually dead.
B: What a wonderful analogy! For them to be alive, they
should believe in Jesus Christ.
