Romans 8:9–14
Change book or chapter
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

Grace changes more than appearances.
Ephesians calls believers to put off the old life and live as people made new in Christ. Salvation is His gift; repentance and Spirit-enabled obedience belong to the life He gives.
Carry a name into the prayer.
Jesus lives to intercede for those who come to God through Him. Pray for the person you love, depend on the Spirit's help, and let that prayer lead to faithful care.
Love that leads to repentance.
God’s love is revealed in the Son He sent for our sins. Receiving that love through faith calls us to repent, depend on the Spirit, and love the people our sin has harmed.
