Walking in the Spirit

The only consistent way to overcome the sinful desires of our human nature (the flesh) is to live step-by-step in the power of the Holy Spirit as He works through our spirit.

Galatians 5:19-26

The works of the flesh are these:  Adultry, fornication, uncleaness, lewsness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkeness, reveleries.  Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The fruit of the Spirit are these:  Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Those who are in christ 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.
