“This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. … But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” Gal.6:16-18,22-26.
Very inspiring and important teaching on God’s expectation from us His redeemed people – to live and walk in the Spirit! It is yielding and allowing the Spirit of God dwelling inside of us to guide our thoughts, speech and actions! It is not yielding to but staying away from those works of the flesh (note Gal.5:19-21).
It is putting to death/crucifying those fleshly attitudes on a daily basis-note also Gal.2:20.
It is doing away with anything that does not represent the Holy character of the Holy Spirit!
As we live and walk in the Spirit, then the above fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control would manifest and keep growing in us! No place for any wrong doing! This is living according to God’s word which is Spirit and life (John 6:63).
This living and walking in the Spirit should be our goal and it would bring sweetness and rest inside and through us to others!
Holy Spirit take Your rightful place inside our hearts and lives, and help us to live out the life of the Spirit always, that God be glorified in and through us, in Jesus’ name!
Have a blessed, victorious day and daily life in Christ Jesus.
