About this audiobook

In this booklet, we see there is a universal battle between life and death which are two lines throughout the Bible. We will consider these two lines as they appear in Romans chapters 5 through 8. In Romans chapters 5 through 8, which we may call the kernel of the Bible, two key words are used repeatedly. These words are life and death. To be in life is to live out God, and to be in death is to live out Satan. We are a battlefield, and the universal battle between God and Satan is raging within us. The outcome of this battle is determined by where we set our mind. If we set our mind on the self and thereby are cut off from the spirit, Satan gains ground. But if we stay in the spirit and set our mind on the spirit, God gains the victory.
