There is also that big problem with ENMITY of the unsaved against Christ. Satan blinds the minds of the unbelievers, and also they then have ENMITY with God and Christ,
For those born again by the Spirit, this enmity is removed, that is why they believe in Christ.
"7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be."
The carnal mind not being subject to God's laws will never believe in Christ.
All unbelievers are carnally minded, have Satan as their father and are running with the devil, read Ephesians 2
ALL believers are 'in the Spirit' spiritually minded, as all are born again. If they do not have the indwelling Spirit, then they do not belong to Christ.
People at enmity, the unsaved, non born again, non regenerated are actively hostile to Christ. Can you see where that leads?
enmity
[ˈenmədē]
NOUN
- the state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.
Romans 8
3 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, 4 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. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those
who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded
is death, but to be spiritually minded
is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ
is in you, the body
is dead because of sin, but the Spirit
is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
