Becoming a Christian is the start of a brand new life in Christ.  You have been taken from the kingdom of darkness and brought into the kingdom of light.  What an incredible truth this is! And this new life in Christ means that we need to walk by the Spirit as we follow Christ.  But what does it mean to walk by the Spirit?

Galatians 5:16 says, “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh”.

God calls us to a new life in Christ and we become a brand new person.  But this doesn’t just happen automatically.  We need to do our part too.  As you can see in the verse above, we are called to walk by the Spirit.  

HOW DO YOU WALK BY THE SPIRIT?

Walking by the Spirit means that you listen for the Holy Spirit’s voice as He leads and directs you every day.  And when you hear His voice you obey and follow what He is telling you.  

This is something we can’t do within ourselves, but if we surrender ourselves to God and lean on His grace and strength, He will help us to obey and follow the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Let’s be committed to listening to the Holy Spirit’s voice and obeying His leading.  This will bring life and will help us to walk in victory!
