Romans 8: 3, 4

What the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

We fulfill the righteous requirement of the law when we walk by the Spirit. Jesus died for us because our flesh could not keep the law and on account of our sins. The Spirit is meant to be in control over our flesh and tell it what to do, not the other way around. Our Spirit, when we are born again, is alive to God. The Holy Spirit will lead us and guide us in every situation. Practice listening for the guidance of the Holy Spirit today.
