Life in Spirit vs works of the flesh

Day LXXX

Galatians 5


19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God! 


 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also behave in accordance with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, being jealous of one another.  

Brothers and Sisters these words are caution/warning to us. Our scriptures enumerated the list of the works of the flesh and what the spirit wants us to follow. Let us the open minded acceptance of these truth and follow our Father to live by these things. Let us remember that our Father in our heavenly kingdom requires us to be holy like him. Let us do everything to make our lives holy and presentable to God.
