“You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.” [1]
Don’t try to serve God in your own strength. Eagerly wait for the hope of God’s righteousness being brought to light to those around you by the Holy Spirit. By faith – trust in God to show up.
I say then: walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” [2]
The key to walking as Jesus walked is to be filled and overflowing with the Holy Spirit. Even Jesus testified to His hometown folks that was God’s Spirit that anointed Him to do the works of God. [3] Jesus casted out evil spirits by the Spirit of God. [4]
“And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” [5]
We don’t want to go around flexing our muscles like some kind of victorious sports figure. Pride leads to a fall. We want to be humble. God gives grace to the humble. [6] We want to walk in a demonstration of power by the Holy Spirit.
