How do I walk In The Spirit?

Text:

Romans 8:1-17

Memory Verse:

Galatians 5:25

The Spirit is the source of our spiritual life, so in that sense every true Christian has received the Holy Spirit. “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so
be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is not of His.”(Rom 8:9). Through the new birth experience, we have become partakers of the Divine nature. Therefore, it is possible for a born again Christian to walk either in the flesh or in the Spirit. When the Bible uses the word “Carnal”, that is a Christian walking in the flesh. The word “Carnal” is never used in the New Testament for the unbeliever. It uses the word “Natural” for the Unbeliever.

We now have three kinds of people in the Bible: the natural man, the carnal Christian, and the Spiritual Christian. The natural man is the unbeliever. The carnal Christian and the Spiritual Christian are both born again but they are walking two different ways: in the flesh or in the Spirit.

A Christian, therefore, who is dominated or controlled by his human nature; by his feelings, by his various drives, is walking in the flesh. While a Christian who walks in the Spirit, deprives or denies the flesh of its ungodly desires.
