DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Walking According To The Spirit
Romans 7:25b-8:1-2
"So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit [spirit]. For the law of the Spirit [spirit] of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death."
Remember the move, "The Three Faces of Eve" (1957). A woman had multiple personalities that exhibited themselves from time to time. She had no control of which personality would manifest. I do not have a split personality with one ego serving sin and the alter ego serving God. I do have control whether I will walk according to the flesh or the spirit. Some people claim, "I just couldn't help myself." Humbug!! I have been saved as a complete entity – body, soul, and spirit. "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Thessalonians 5:23). Even though I sometimes walk in the flesh, I am not under bondage to it because of the Lord Jesus. Praise God, in Christ I can live a holy life without condemnation.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Christ gives freedom and power to live according to the spirit [Spirit].
Have a "singular" day. Love you.
