In this study of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam examines the sharp conflict between the "mind of the flesh" and the "mind of the Spirit." Drawing parallels from Galatians and Corinthians, Gideon defines the carnal mind as being at enmity with God, incapable of submitting to His law or pleasing Him. He warns that even a believer can walk as a "natural man," resulting in a defeated walk devoid of spiritual power. Gideon exhorts us to instead be "spiritually minded," a state that brings Chayim v'Shalom—Life and Peace. By relying on the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) rather than our own strength, we are called to mortify the deeds of the body and live a life that is truly pleasing to God.
