Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

 

Paul’s letter to the Galatians could be written to any group of believers today. The fact is, much of the Body of Christ is not walking in the Spirit at all. They are actually living in the flesh while claiming to be believers in Christ. This is not acceptable to God and the Bible is clear that such people will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

 

Read this portion of Paul’s letter to the Galatians and take it to heart. I say then: Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.

 

Now the works of the flesh are evident which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

 

But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. (Galatians 5:16-26)

 

If you are being told that once you are saved you no longer have to worry about what you do in this life, it’s evident that the person speaking these lies to you has not read and studied the Bible themselves. There is no way one can read the New Testament and come away with such beliefs. It’s not possible!

 

Anyone practicing the sins listed in Verses 19-21 will not inherit the Kingdom of God! That’s what it says and God means what He says. The Scriptures are given to us as a Guideline and Instructions on how to live our lives as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. All Scripture is given by Inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in Righteousness, that the man of God may be complete thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

 

Do you see the phrase that the man of God may be complete thoroughly equipped for every good work.? It tells us right here in this one Passage that ALL SCRIPTURE is instructions for believers. If it didn’t matter what we do or how we live, then why would we need instructions on how to live?

 

Don’t buy into this false doctrine. It is heresy! And by the way, heresies are listed in the works of the flesh.

 

Walk in the Spirit and God will…..…….turn the tide...……..in your life.
