Life or death?

“Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture has captured me. ‘If we are living by the Spirit’, how do we live by the Spirit? If Jesus said he was ‘the Life’ (Jn 10:10), and that He would give His holy Spirit to believers who waited and prayed in Jerusalem, in fact He said: “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭49‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The evidence of this infilling was the manifestation of tongues, miracles, mass salvations and the gift of healings, wisdom, knowledge and faith.

If we say we are living, how alive are we? Are we alive to God or this world? Are we, like the unsaved, committed to getting more and being entertained? Or are we alive to God wirh ears open to what moves Him?

In the Old Testament God said: “chose this day life or death but choose life that you might live”(Deut 30:19).

We can, humanly speaking, be alive but yet be dead spiritually. If we are dead spiritually then we will enter a lost eternity. Do we really want to go there?

Choose life that you might live. Amen!
