WALKING IN THE SPIRIT
Galatians 5:24-26
And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Personal Challenge
Does anyone out there desire to walk in the Spirit? I know that I sure do. Then why is it so difficult to get to that place in our spiritual journey so that we can be doing this? I think Paul tells us why in this letter to the Galatians. Let's work backward. Paul tells us to walk in the Spirit. Before that, he indicates that if we are to walk in the Spirit, we need to live in the Spirit. How do we live in the Spirit? We do this by crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires. Now, this is starting to get really personal. So, what is this about crucifying the flesh? We are not to become conceited in ourselves or in the things that God has done for us. We are to avoid provoking and envying one another, which stems from loving our neighbor. It is possible to walk in the Spirit, but it requires an active choice to live for Christ daily. Glory be to God!
