Life in spirit

Life in the Spirit is fueled by the Holy Spirit. This is the place of bearing fruit and the home of freedom. Living in the Spirit means relying on God to provide both earthly and everlasting security when one has been converted to Christ.

When we give our souls to Jesus every day, spiritual life flourishes. We remain Christians in the same manner that we did when we first became believers—by grace through faith. Nevertheless, the flesh seeks to show off its old tendencies to make us doubt God. However, we are aware that humility brought about by the Spirit is preferable to arrogance in the flesh. The ability to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit is given to us when we walk in the Spirit.

When we contemplate foolish paths, the Spirit provides discernment. When we start to stray from our beliefs, the Spirit provides conviction. When we battle suffering, the Spirit comforts us. When we are tempted to do what we want, the Spirit guides us into doing what God has asked.

Do you want to be at ease, rejoice more, and love better? If so, let the Spirit cultivate love, happiness, and serenity in the soil of your spirit. God is your gracious gardener, continually producing an abundance of fruit with his green thumb. The Holy Spirit sows the seeds of patience, love, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, which eventually bear the abundant fruit of the Lord. Apply God's Word as water once you have fertilized yourself with faith.
