Identity in Christ Part 8
“Walking by the Spirit is living by faith; faith in what Christ has done and what he is doing in us and through us right now.”
“Walking by the Spirit is living by faith; faith in what Christ has done and what he is doing in us and through us right now.”
“Walking according to the Spirit is a choice a Christian makes every moment of every day.”
“All flesh is – Controlling, Deceptive, Legalistic, Proud, Addictive, Self-Absorbed (self-centered),Self-Protective, Sin.”
“Sadly, my focus was on what I was doing rather than on what Christ had already done. I was believing the lies of the enemy.”
“A dead person cannot bring himself back to life! Said another way, a spiritually dead person cannot get spiritual life by the works of his flesh!”
But for me, I’ve been thinking even more about how I should invest the time I have left on planet earth. I would like to make a positive difference in this quickly deteriorating world. I believe that we all have a purpose for being here.
“Because we all show up on planet earth spiritually dead to God, we struggle with these same issues - shame, fear, condemnation, insecurity, guilt and self-consciousness.”
Here’s some good news for you who have received Christ by faith, i.e., you who are Christians. You are a saint! You are holy! You have been sanctified! Here’s some more good news – You didn’t have to work to achieve your “sainthood” or to become holy or sanctified.
“The new man in Christ has a choice to make every moment of every day – walk according to the Spirit or walk according to the flesh. The flesh produces death, the Spirit produces life. So, WHY NOT CHOOSE LIFE!”
