Ephesians 2:6

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.

NLT: For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.

 

Romans 8:6

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

NLT:  So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death.  But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

 

1 John 2:15, 17

Do not love the world or anything in the world….The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

NLT:  Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.  And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave.  But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
