Walking by the Spirit
Galatians 5:13-26
The Forgotten Person of the Trinity (Series)
Galatians 5:13-18 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
How do we walk by the Spirit?
When we “walk by the Spirit,” we are not controlled by the sinful nature.
When the Spirit is leading us by producing godly desires, the commands of God are not a burden but a joy.
Walking by the Spirit frees us from being under the law.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
