Devotion for today: Meditation for a Monday – You are in the Spirit

Here is our Monday Meditation on a Scripture passage from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans. It reminds us that we are filled with the Holy Spirit and therefore are children of God.

Romans 8:9-14:  But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. 

Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 

But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  

If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.

So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 

 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
