What does it mean for a believer to live a Spirit-filled, Spirit-controlled, Spirit-enabled life? Alistair Begg guides us in understanding the transformation that brings about effective Christian living. When we follow God’s leading, we will walk the path of freedom and joy He has established for us from eternity.
16But I say, vwalk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify wthe desires of the flesh. 17For xthe desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, yto keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18But if you are zled by the Spirit, ayou are not under the law. 19Now bthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, cdivisions, 21envy,4 drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that dthose who do5 such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
