Galatians 5:16-18
Living by the Spirit's Power
16 So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit.
Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.
17 The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants.
And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires.
These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict.
18 But when you are directed by the Holy Spirit, you are no longer subject to the law.
(NLT)
We are to live in accordance with the will of the Holy Spirit. He is our guide and teacher. We have two choices in life as believers in Jesus Christ, one is to live for self and selfish desires or two is to live by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The old nature, the flesh or self loves to do evil and it brings death but to live by the Spirit is life, peace, mercy, blessings and love. In order to move from a baby Christian to a mature Christian we must yield and obey the Holy Spirit. God has so much for us but when we continue to give into the flesh we miss out on what God has for us. But when we yield to the Holy Spirit, when we listen to Him, yield to Him and obey Him we too become the transform light of Christ. Our lives begin to reflect the love of Jesus, nothing else will matter but Jesus and seeking the lost children of God will become our focus. Go and share the gospel of Jesus Christ and let the Holy Spirit guide you.
