I think this is saying, it’s all about the flesh, the flesh learns to walk in the Spirit , how do we do that, well, we have that new heart don’t we?, plus we have the renewing of our minds, the Holy Spirit is within us, we are not in sin and we don’t sin, it’s our flesh that God brings under control, and, Mark my words, the Spirit will most definitely overcome the flesh.......I even remember my flesh being at war with the Spirit as a new babe,...through many years of walking in faith and renewing my mind....I now walk in the Spirit...
Just my thoughts,Brothers and Sisters.
Please post your opinions and beliefs....I don’t mind if you think I’m talking a load of rubbish....it’s so good to discuss.....even if we don’t agree, at least we can stay open to others opinions and beliefs.....we can listen, we don’t have to agree....or take it on board.
What are your comments on this scripture, if you have any?....
Galatians 5:16-26
New International Version
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[
a]you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
