If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 (NKJV)
The apostle Paul exhorts us in today’s main text to actively live out the new life we have in the Spirit on a daily basis. That means living consistently with the new identity and strength the Holy Spirit bestows upon us. This is an appeal for a closer, more harmonious connection with God in which our actions are compatible with our beliefs.
Let Us Walk in the Spirit
The term “live in the Spirit” describes the profound transformation that takes place when we accept Christ. Our new life is given to us by the Holy Spirit, who also gives us the ability to live in a way that is consistent with God’s will. The fruits of the Spirit, which are indicators of the Spirit’s work within us, are characteristics of this new life. These fruits include love, joy, peace, and patience.
Walking with the Spirit entails consciously coordinating our day-to-day choices and activities with the Holy Spirit’s direction. We need to make the deliberate decision to live according to the guidance of the Spirit in all spheres of our existence, including relationships with people and opportunities and difficulties.
How to Walk in the Spirit
Seek the Holy Spirit’s help to identify areas in your life where you are not walking in the Spirit. Ask God to lead you in all of your decisions and dealings, and pay close attention to His promptings all day long. In your interactions and day-to-day activities, cultivate peace, love, fortitude, joy, compassion, goodness, meekness, restraint and faithfulness.
Prayer
Father in heaven, help me to walk in the Spirit as well as live in the Spirit every day.
