Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God neither, indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his, ROM 8:7-9.

We must now learn to walk in the Spirit of Christ. What is that? That means that our hearts must be renewed, the carnal mind must be broken, and the carnal rebellion must be broken.

We must have a submission and a desire to do that which is pleasing to the Lord. Because it says, "Jesus kneeled down, and he prayed saying, Father if thou be willing remove this cup."

The Lord Jesus Christ saw in that cup that He was going to be crucified, that He was coming under the wrath of God, and that He was going to pay the penalty of sin. He saw the fierceness of God's wrath. But He says, "Not my will, but thine be done." He was willing to obey even though it meant that He would give His life by obedience.

Do we have that Spirit of Christ? Are we willing to obey? Are we willing to walk in the Spirit of Christ, and do we have submission to the will of God? Or do we yet have the carnal mind?

Now look what it says in MAT 26:38. Christ was saying, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death...." The sorrow and suffering that came upon Him was not only the wrath of God, but having been made sin.

Christ stood before God the Father. He and the Father were one from eternity. There He stood. Look at the sorrow that brought into His heart, because it says in 2CO 5:21, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

His holy Father looked at Him as sin, and He had to emerge under that wrath of the Father in order to pay for that. That Spirit of Christ is in such perfect submission to the will of the Father that He was willing to pay for such sin with His life as an act of obedience.

You see the perfect submission of Christ regardless of the cost. This is what we're going to have to learn if we're going to understand the Spirit of Christ. We don't put a price on it. Just as we see something that we have to do in obedience to the will of God, we don't put a price on it. We do it because He commanded it.
