For we know that all creation groans in unison with birthing pains up until now. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs.

For if your life is just about satisfying the impulses of your sinful nature, then prepare to die. But, if you have invited the Spirit to destroy these selfish desires, you will experience life.

Rom 8:11 "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you"

Therefore, since the mindset of the Spirit is the fruit and shape of the Spirit's life, the way God designed for us to walk and live is to have a spiritual mindset, not a fleshly one. From hostility to life to a spiritual mindset. And because we have this spiritual mindset, we walk that way – we live that way.We "do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit."

The "law of sin and death" in verse 2 is the power and authority of sin which CONTROLS and rules in a life where God does not have the upper hand but where flesh is dominant.

my new life tells me to do right, but the old nature that is still inside me loves to sin. Oh, what a terrible predicament I’m in! Who will free me from my slavery to this deadly lower nature? Thank God! It has been done by Jesus Christ our Lord. He has set me free.

Sin is making promises to you that it cannot keep, and you are trusting in these promises. So, what is the remedy? Die to the Law and live to God through the crucified and risen Christ. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the remedy

If you are in Christ, justified, and married to your Savior, Jesus, you bear fruit for God. That means that new desires and attitudes and choices and actions grow like fruit from this all-satisfying relationship between you and your living "husband," Jesus Christ.
