Romans 8:5;7-9
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
REFLECTION:
Walking by the Spirit means abiding in Christ, meditating on His Word, yielding to the Spirit's leading. Then we lose the appetite for sin and begin the Christ-like character of love, joy, peace, patient, kindness , goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
We rely on the Spirit's power for our renewal and sanctification.
