Romans 8:3-4 NKJV
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Walking according to the Spirit is NOT a matter of performance. It's a matter of focus.
When a person is walking according to the flesh, they focus on themselves and their own works, their own efforts to please themselves and/or God. Trying your best to keep God pleased by your own obedience to the commandments is still walking in the flesh. Your performance won't save you -- not in the least bit.
Romans 8:5 NASB
For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
What are you focused on? Is it sin? Is it on what you are doing or not doing? Set your mind instead on what the Holy Spirit is doing, what the Spirit is teaching you.
Romans 8:6-8 NASB
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, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Those who THINK they are obeying the commandments are WRONG. Just like Jesus told that young ruler, "with man it is impossible." They are walking according to the flesh and not resting in the perfection of Christ.
Hebrews 11:6 NASB
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.
Romans 8:9-10 NASB - 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. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Faith in the correct object of faith pleases God. Seek him; not what you do for him.
