Walk By The Spirit

Galatians 5:16-17 (ESV)

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

Galatians 5:25 (ESV)

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

If we walk by the Spirit, we are alive to God and share in His life. The flesh will follow either the Spirit of God or the spirit of man. We will serve one or the other. His Spirit allows us to work and will as He would have us. This takes place in the garden of our world where we work the ground of our earth. We are to be fruitful and multiply in the grace of our salvation, to bear the fruit of the Spirit.
