Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us Free. For you brethren, have been called to liberty: only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love, serve one another. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I say 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.
When you accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, your spirit man was reborn again at the new birth. If you have confessed with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believed in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. You are a Spirit, you have a Soul and you live in a Body!
You possess a Soul which was made righteous by blood of Jesus. Your Soul also encompasses your Mind, your Will, your Emotions and your Attitude. You have been given the Mind of Christ to have the same mind towards one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. He knows the thoughts that He thinks towards you, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope. Your mind is renewed as you keep your mind stayed on Him.
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and it was not saved at the rebirth. There was the natural birth by water and the Spiritual birth from God. The flesh which is natural and the Spirit are at war against one another…in your flesh dwells no good thing. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are adultry, fornication, uncleaness, lewdness, idolatry, witchcraft, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkeness, revelries, and those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control, against such there is no law. Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with it’s passions and desires; The lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. May the peace of God sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. He who the Son sets free is free indeed. For he who sows to the flesh will of the flesh reap corruption. He who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not loose heart or faint. Have faith in God , whatsoever a man sows that will he also reap. You shall Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength.
