Life by the Spirit

Because Grace abounds, does that mean we should keep on sinning? No, for tomorrow is not determine by anyone of us. By the time you are ready to let go of it all , there might not be time to enter into your God given destiny.

"So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." Galatians 5:16-26

By bearing the fruit of the Spirit, the devil can in no way entice us with the perishing pleasures of this world. Like Jesus we can then boldly say "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. (Matt 4:10). Let us prepare for ourselves treasures in a store house where rust and moth cannot destroy it. Remember, this world is not our home but a phase to test our worthiness of entering the glorious kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. In heaven we shall not just be visitors but joint heirs of the Father. I send my love to you all.

Shalom
