WALKING AND LIVING IN THE SPIRIT!

Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Believers have the Spirit of Christ, the hope of glory within them . Those who walk in the Spirit will show forth daily, moment-by-moment holiness. This is brought about by consciously choosing by faith to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide in thought, word, and deed.

ROMAN 6:11-14 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Failure to rely on the Holy Spirit's guidance will result in a believer not living up to the calling and standing that salvation provides Ephesians 4:1.

 Philippians 1:27; Only vlet your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with yone mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel.

 We can know that we are walking in the Spirit if our lives are showing forth the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22,23).It is necessary,  allowing Him to guide our steps and conform our mind.

.PRAYER: Let us be transformed by the renewing of our minds that we are able to be lead by the spirit of God. In Jesus name, Amen.
