For greater understanding, read Gal. 5:22-25, and then read Romans 8. In His Love,Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means that the Holy Spirit becomes their conscience and guides them to do the right thing, say the right thing..we are told when young " You are known by the company you keep." Their actions reflect on you and your actions reflect on them and you become one. Just so, the company of the Holy Spirit living within your heart will help you to reflect Jesus only in a way that pleases Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to show you what He wants you to do (think, speak, act), and what He does not want you to do. So the Spirit and the Word work together to change you into the likeness of Christ. The Holy Spirit also speaks to you directly, and indirectly through others.

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 (Romans 6:11-14). 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 (John 3:3;Ephesians 4:1; Philippians 1:27). 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). Being filled (walking) with the Spirit is the same as allowing the word of Christ (the Bible) to richly dwell in us (Colossians 3:16). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that exist are the unseen the spiritual. Such as your salvation your most important possession that is beyond your five senses. The Bible says to set your affections on above and not on earth.

If a monk who believes in a god, fabricated by the world, can consecrate themselves and their bodies, in a lifestyle would put the majority of Christians to shame, imagine what God thinks about our loose and worldly living. When we received Salvation, we were given a measure of the Holy Spirit. God dwells in us people. He doesn't change. We change.Family changes.Our jobs change.The world changes. God doesn't change. He still requires obedience. Following his word, following that still-small-voice. Walking in the spirit, is to walk following how Jesus walked, and listening to what you know what God wants you to do.Without prayer and reading God's word, how will you know His voice?Listen to me, there will be many in that day of judgment that will receive the most horrible news. Jesus will say "I never knew you". Yes, the Grace of God is here and now. Yes, Jesus will in no wise cast anyone away if thy come to him. But, that is NOW. Not tomorrow, for tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. It is NOW. Walking in the Spirit, is to follow obedience to what God is telling you to do, or don't do. Doing so, you won't fulfill the lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eye, and pride of life.The battlefield is in the mind. Mortify the flesh. Do it daily. The God of all Heaven and Earth lives within you. Start following him by walking in the Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
