Hello sisters!
One more day I have to drop in to edify you in the Lord, to glorify Him! Everything we do is about Him and for Him and so we want to make sure it is pleasing to Him. He made us and owns us and we are His servants and so we want to be faithful ones. But of course we can never glorify Him with sin so no matter how people do things it doesn't make something wrong good. But we were blind and deceived in various ways in the past and of course we may still not see some things though we keep seeking and testing all things. God is perfect.
I hope things are going well in your lives and that you are pressing on in the faith in this corrupt and deceived world. It really makes you consider yourself when there's so much deception and hypocrisy and blindness and such like. Most everyone thinks their way is right and that they have the truth. So many claim to be living from the Word but there's thousands of different 'interpretations'. I know many only hold to parts of the Word to the neglect of others. But let us seek to live by all of His Word as it is all important. Yes it is faith in Christ that will save us as we were yet sinners when He died for us so it is not our works and never will be but we have been warned that sin leads to death still. We must flee sin (repent) and walk in His righteous and holy ways, loving Him first...to the end. There are many precious promises to them that overcome! We walk in the Spirit and not the flesh and when that is the case we have no condemnation! Praise God!
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:1-14
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5:13-26
Very good scriptures. I am thankful for the truth, so let us strive to walk in the Spirit and crucify the flesh and it's affections and lusts. God's ways are exceedingly good! Let us worship Him in the beauty of holiness. Hold fast in the truth sisters! Love, peace, and mercy to you in His name.
