Connected to the Vine
Galatians 5:16
Galatians 5:16
“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”
Insight
You have two natures - flesh and Spirit. The flesh craves sin; the Spirit produces holiness. Walking by the Spirit doesn't mean you won't be tempted by the flesh. It means you won't gratify it. How do you walk by the Spirit? Stay connected to Jesus through prayer, worship, and obedience. Abide in Him. When you're Spirit-controlled, fruit automatically grows - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Reflection
In what area are you most tempted to gratify the flesh? What would 'walking by the Spirit' look like in that specific situation?
