Hello to you and welcome,
These will be hard sayings.
Human beings in general can do great and wonderful things. They can have plenty of money, they can have jobs, they can have friends, they can even do good to their neighbors, they can be leaders, they can be in congress, they can be great socializers and get along with just about anyone.
However, the reality is, that Human beings still have a heart, and while they can do good for the cause of a cause, and for the love of a neighbor, does that mean they are made right before God because of these things? Like the nation of Israel in the Lord Yeshuas time, who professed the name of Yahava, but their lips and hearts were far from him. It is so by the nature of humans.
Those who are of the faithful - even if it is just by looking at the universe and bowing the knee as there is someone greater than though - are those who seek after God, and those who are made right with God by faith in the death, burial and resurrection. There is no getting around Jesus who is the way, the truth and the life. He makes us free from the law of sin and death, and now you make a decision to walk by the spirit - asking God to help you by the spirit. Sin was condemned in the flesh of Jesus's body and taken care of for all the world.
That is to say, open welcoming hand of God - is extended. It takes faith though - otherwise its impossible to please him (Hebrews 11:6)
But those who live according to the spirit the things of the Spirit.
To be carnally minded is death (While people can do good things - there is still a carnal nature which is the soul that still needs renewed and have a spiritual birth as Jesus said - you must be born again), the carnal nature desires to fight (be it with the world, with other people, with themselves (not having everything that want, not having enough money, not having enough women, not having enough sex, not having enough drugs, nothing having whatever you can think of in the flesh that leads to death, my way, over Gods way) - of the (mind/will/emotion) which needs to be renewd by the spirit.
It says there in verse 8: So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Paul writes to the saints in Rome saying - 9 but you are not of the flesh but in the spirit - IF INDEED THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU.
He goes on saying - If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ - that person is not Gods.
However If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin - (that means to be buried with Christ after dying to the old life and burying it), and raising with Christ ---- and the Spirit is life, you are moving away from the carnal nature you once had by the flesh and not eating off of the spiritual bread, and spiritual waters that Christ Jesus gives, and praying and asking God to help you. Because God's gives the holy spirit and pours it in the hearts of believers.
But if you are not a believer; are you of God, and are you of The Spirit? Or are you of the flesh yet to be born again in need a transformation?
So the question is, Are you of this World? Is this your home you focus on? Many people make this world there focus.
Because if this is your focus, that is all fine and good, but do you not realize you are going to leave this world and it is only temporary? Therefore one has to make a decision, you can choose to do what ever you want, one foot hoping for the kingdom to come after this life (which resides in your heart now), or making this world your kingdom instead.

If you take a moment to read this, you can see that people who have there mind here on this world by the flesh, are those who set their minds on the things of the flesh.
But those who live according to the spirit the things of the Spirit.

Everyone will have problems and struggles with the flesh but there is a difference between a person whom has come to truth, and those who reject truth, or have yet to come to truth being born again as Jesus explained and he is always the way, the truth and the life.
