Through the Spirit.

Walking after the SPIRIT-

Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

Rom 8:2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 

Rom 8:3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 

Rom 8:4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

Rom 8:5  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 

Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 

Rom 8:7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 

Rom 8:8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 

Rom 8:9  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 none of his. 

Rom 8:10  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 

Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

Walking after the Spirit.

The FRUIT of the SPIRIT-

Gal 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 

Gal 5:23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 

Gal 5:24  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 

Rom 8:12  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 

Rom 8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 

Key words of the above-  IF YE THROUGH THE SPIRIT.  If we MORTIFY the deeds of our bodies on our own it means nothing at all, we are just trying to earn salvation and you can't earn what is given freely. If we are mortifying our flesh and take the credit for the mortification we've only rid ourselves of one thing and taken on another- pride. Satan loves when we fill ourselves with pride for our own works. The Bible clearly tells us to mortify the deeds of our bodies but it also clearly says to do it THROUGH the SPIRIT.

The Bible clearly tells us what we need to know to be God's. We could do all sorts of good and not be God's, and we could do all sorts of good and be God's. We must do all we do IN and THROUGH the HOLY SPIRIT, letting God guide us.

Ask the HEAVENLY FATHER and HE will GIVE the HOLY SPIRIT to us.

All through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we will received the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, and through the Holy Spirit we can be Christ's here and now upon this sin-filled earth ruled by Satan and his minions. We need to mortify the deed of our flesh - THROUGH the HOLY SPIRIT, to this end we need to pray, and to do what our God has told us we are to do, what our God has commanded us to do.

Please, Lord, teach us! Live in us! Give us the Holy Spirit! All through Jesus Christ our Savior now and forever!!!!!!!
