Bible Verse of The Day – 11-20-23

Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Greetings!

Welcome to another teaching series. In this one we will be digging deeper into the Biblical references to living by the flesh and living by the Spirit.

By the time we are finished with this series, we should all have a better understanding of the effects of the choices that we make when it comes to living by the flesh or by the spirit.

In Galatians 2:20, referenced above, Paul wrote that he has been crucified with Christ, and that he no longer lived, but Christ lives in him.

This is a great starting point, showing us how serious this topic is.

Paul proclaimed that his life was no longer his own. In fact, he was boldly stating that he was dead, and his life now consisted of Christ living through him.

This should be the goal of every believer.

Our flesh should be crucified with Christ; dead. Our lives should be lived by the Spirit of God leading and guiding us every minute of every day.

Perfection in this way of living is not possible. We are flesh and bone. We will fail, sometimes miserably.

But as we grow and mature, allowing God to continually shape us, we will see changes in the way we think, speak and act.

The most important thing is that we put forth the effort that is needed. Without that effort, we will surely stay as spiritual babes, needing milk when we should be eating meat.

Hebrews 5:13-14 (NKJV) 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Please join us tomorrow as we dig deeper.
