Compelled by Holy Obligation (12-14)

Romans 8:12–14 NASB95
12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Obligation - moral responsibility.
The Gospel has implications.
Not to the flesh - we no longer are compelled to listen to the flesh. Do you believe this?
The sons of God are marked by a unique family trait - they are led by His Spirit.
