As believers in Christ, we have received the precious gift of eternal life. We are no longer bound to sin and death, but we are able to live a redeemed and everlasting life. Because our spirit man has been transformed, our outer man should reflect that change as well.
Since we have accepted the Lord as our Savior, we were blessed with the Holy Spirit as our guide and comforter. In the same way that He has quickened and changed us internally, He would like to do the same externally. Our every day life should be influenced by the Holy Spirit that dwells inside us.
In order to live by the Spirit, we have to acknowledge the Spirit of God in everything we do. Our every step should be made in light of the Holy Spirit. When we face challenges and decisions, we should allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us along the right path.
When we allow God's Spirit to lead us, wonderful things happen: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22, 23
As we follow the Spirit, we are changed and become more like Him! Soon we will be living and acting in ways that reflect His living on the inside of us. We will be showing outwardly the blessing that we received inwardly.
Today, allow yourself to walk after the Spirit. Keep yourself attuned to God's voice, make choices in line with God's Word, and show the fruit of the Spirit as you go about your day.
Verse of the Day: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:8
