Run, John, run!

• Run, John, run! The law commands,But gives me
  neither feet or hands. Far grander news the
  gospel brings--It bids me fly and gives me
  wings!

Rom. 87 - five things that will never happen to
the flesh

• The flesh cannot be changed. The rebellious,
  non-submissive flesh will never be transformed
  into submissive, obedient flesh. Gods method of
  dealing with the flesh is not to change it but to
  CONDEMN IT (Rom.83) and CRUCIFY IT (Gal.524
  220 and compare Rom.66). 
• The flesh cannot be reformed. It cannot be
  corrected or restored to purity. That which is
  corrupt remains corrupt. That which is
  desperately wicked remains desperately wicked
  (Jer. 179). The Church was reformed (we speak of
  the Protestant "Reformation") and restored to
  some degree of purity but the flesh will never
  have a reformation. Two thousand years ago it did
  not have a REFORMATION but it had a
  CRUCIFIXION! 
• The flesh can never be trained. The flesh is
  stubborn. It refuses to change its ways. Its
  immutable. You can never teach the flesh how to
  please God. The flesh is incorrigible--incapable
  of being corrected or amended. The flesh refuses
  to change its ways. The works of the flesh always
  remain the same (see Galatians 519-21). 
• The flesh cannot be improved. It always remains
  as it is depraved, corrupt, wicked, sinful,
  evil, anti-God, rebellious, stubborn, proud,
  etc. 
• The flesh cannot be reconciled to God. It is
  always and ever opposed to God (see Gal. 517).
  It will never be at peace with God instead there
  is constant war. God can never be brought into
  harmony with that which is out of harmony with
  His holy and righteous Character.

Rom. 830

• FOREKNOWLEDGE--Before the world ever was God knew
  me and God knew that I would belong to Him.  This
  involves a special, loving relationship.
• PREDESTINATION--In eternity past God marked out a
  wonderful future for me, that I should be like
  His Son.
• CALLING--God brought me to Himself in a wonderful
  way, out of my darkness, into His marvelous
  light.
• JUSTIFICATION--God declared me to be perfectly
  righteous in His righteous Son, based upon the
  cross-work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
• GLORIFICATION--God will complete my salvation and
  in the mind and plan of God, it is as good as
  done!
