GAL 5: 9 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
GAL 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.
GAL 5: 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his flesh, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
ROM6 11In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
How amazing is it that acts of the flesh are hard work, and not fun but allowing you to live in me is not work? It’s a done deal and I don’t have to keep working on earning my salvation. I became a new creation all at once, and that is that! Help me to move away from performance based acceptance of my myself and others, and instead to know my identity in you.
God, help me see others and myself as you see us: PERFECT AND BLAMELESS. There is no condemnation, but there is a way to live in grace.
Thanks be to God! You rock!
