Two Ways or The Contrast - 2

The reference to be read opposite each other:

.. Romans 5:1-2 & Isaiah 57:20-21

Romans 5:1-2

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Isaiah 57:20-21

But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
 When it cannot rest,
 Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
  “There is no peace,”
 Says my God, “for the wicked.”

.. Romans 8:1 & Romans 8:5-8

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit

Romans 8:5-8

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For 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.

.. John 10:9 & John 10:1

John 10:9

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture

John 10:1

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
