The Spirit and The Flesh, Good Against Evil

Walking and living habitually in the Spirit, responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit, we won’t gratify the cravings and inordinate desires of the flesh (your body’s appetites). We don’t want to live a life according to human nature without God. To have the christian advantage in life we must walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Living by faith is the Christian’s portion in life. To follow what the teachings and precepts say concerning life in the bible, is the beginning of walking and living life in the Spirit. Understanding life according to the one who created life is to our utmost advantage. We have been redeemed from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (the law of our new being) is the prescribed pathway for walking in the Spirit and not the flesh. There will always be the fight of good against evil, as well as the fight of the Spirit against the flesh. These are at two opposite ends of the spectrum. Without choosing the side of good, and following after the Spirit, you will automatically default to your old nature which is corrupt before God. Let the Holy Spirit guide our lives straight to victorious living. Those who are led by the Spirit are the true sons and daughters of God (Romans 8:14).
