Spirit-led living

This Sunday our students will be studying Romans 8:5-17. I just wanted to share a few brief thoughts on this powerful passage...

This passage gets to the heart of what it means to be a Christian. It’s not about rules or regulations. It’s not the law itself that God is concerned with. God is ultimately concerned about the relationship between him and his children. In Spirit-led living, we see God’s real desire. God wants us to be so intimately connected with him that we can’t help but live according to his passions and desires.
He wants to share his treasures with us. And those treasures exist in this world and the New Heaven and New Earth. When we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us, we will experience true life and real peace. It is not until we allow the Spirit to be our guide that we can really live into God’s dream for us in this world and into eternity.

shine!
