Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
Knowledge is not enough.
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
Your sin you must rebuff.
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
Receive his bread and cup.
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
And he will lift you up.
The bread and cup picture the words and obedience of Jesus. He gave his body and blood according to the Scriptures.
To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 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. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 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.
Romans 8:6-11 NKJV
Therefore, brethren, 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 as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Romans 8:12-14 NKJV
Rebuff: to refuse to accept a helpful suggestion or offer from someone, often by answering in an unfriendly way.
