Verse: Galatians 5:25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Application:
Again Paul reminded the Galatians that in addition to a divine judgment of
the sinful nature there is a divine enablement in the person of the Holy
Spirit. He made the believer alive by regeneration (cf. John 3:5-6), so each
believer is exhorted to keep in step (stoichōmen, translation “follow” in Galatians
6:16) with the Spirit. Step by step one's Christian walk should conform to the
Spirit's direction and enablement.
God is interested in every part of our life, not just the spiritual part. As we live by the Holy Spirit's power, we need to submit every aspect of our life to God: emotional, physical, social, intellectual, vocational. Paul says that because we're saved, we should live like it! The Holy Spirit is the source of your new life, so keep in step with his leading. Don't let anything or anyone else determine your values and standards in any area of your life.
