 6For 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,  and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

I believe that we are Saved by Grace. 

I believe that those are saved are to Repent from Sin. 

I believe that we are to be Subject to God and Submit to Him and His ways in Obedience. 

I believe that we are called to Perseverance against the flesh and the ways of the enemy. 

I believe that this is good news.
